00:00:00,799 --> 00:00:03,279
Welcome back to the automation podcast. Sean Tierney

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,359
here from Insights and Automation, and I wanna

3
00:00:05,359 --> 00:00:07,759
thank you for tuning back in. This week

4
00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:09,460
on the show, I meet up with Lawton

5
00:00:09,519 --> 00:00:12,400
Rushford from Endress and Hauser to learn all

6
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:13,779
about the latest innovations

7
00:00:14,244 --> 00:00:17,125
in Coriolis flow meters. And I also wanna

8
00:00:17,125 --> 00:00:19,524
thank Endress and Hauser for sponsoring this episode

9
00:00:19,524 --> 00:00:21,065
so I could bring it to you completely

10
00:00:21,204 --> 00:00:23,925
ad free. With that said, if you're interested

11
00:00:23,925 --> 00:00:26,265
in learning about what's the latest in technology

12
00:00:26,404 --> 00:00:28,719
used in Coriolis flow meters, I think you'll

13
00:00:28,719 --> 00:00:30,879
enjoy this episode. I know I did. And

14
00:00:30,879 --> 00:00:32,399
with that, let's go ahead and jump right

15
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:34,799
into this week's show. I wanna welcome to

16
00:00:34,799 --> 00:00:35,539
the show,

17
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:37,219
Lawton from

18
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,239
Endress and Hauser. Lawton, it's great to have

19
00:00:40,239 --> 00:00:41,679
you on. This is the first time you're

20
00:00:41,679 --> 00:00:42,960
on the show. We plus, we've had your

21
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,164
company on before. But, Lawton, if you don't

22
00:00:45,164 --> 00:00:47,744
mind, could you, before we jump into Coriolis

23
00:00:47,804 --> 00:00:50,704
flow meters, which is an extremely important technology

24
00:00:50,765 --> 00:00:53,325
in our industry, could you first introduce yourself

25
00:00:53,325 --> 00:00:54,145
to our audience?

26
00:00:54,765 --> 00:00:57,564
Yeah. Absolutely. Thank you. My name is Lawton

27
00:00:57,564 --> 00:00:58,064
Rushford.

28
00:00:58,759 --> 00:01:01,399
I am the flow product marketing manager here

29
00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:02,460
at Anderson Hauser,

30
00:01:03,239 --> 00:01:05,879
based in Greenwood, Indiana, which is about twenty

31
00:01:05,879 --> 00:01:08,219
minutes south of Indianapolis, Indiana

32
00:01:08,599 --> 00:01:10,540
at our, national headquarters,

33
00:01:11,275 --> 00:01:13,674
for Anderson Hauser. I've been with Anderson Hauser

34
00:01:13,674 --> 00:01:14,894
for seven years now,

35
00:01:15,594 --> 00:01:17,674
a whole bunch of different roles, but, for

36
00:01:17,674 --> 00:01:19,194
the last three years, I've been in this

37
00:01:19,194 --> 00:01:19,694
role,

38
00:01:19,995 --> 00:01:21,295
a flow marketing manager.

39
00:01:21,915 --> 00:01:22,415
Today,

40
00:01:22,795 --> 00:01:24,954
I I really wanted to highlight a couple

41
00:01:24,954 --> 00:01:27,670
of awesome innovations that we've had in Coriolis

42
00:01:27,810 --> 00:01:28,549
flow technology,

43
00:01:29,250 --> 00:01:30,150
over the last,

44
00:01:30,769 --> 00:01:32,629
we'll see, about year or so,

45
00:01:33,090 --> 00:01:34,849
because I think there's a lot of, use

46
00:01:34,849 --> 00:01:36,390
cases and a lot of awesome,

47
00:01:36,769 --> 00:01:38,869
insights we can get from from our Coriolis

48
00:01:38,930 --> 00:01:39,739
flow meters. And,

49
00:01:41,005 --> 00:01:42,525
yeah. So I guess we can we can

50
00:01:42,525 --> 00:01:45,084
kick it off. I did wanna highlight Anderson

51
00:01:45,084 --> 00:01:47,885
Hauser as the the manufacturer that I work

52
00:01:47,885 --> 00:01:49,745
for, and we have a history,

53
00:01:50,284 --> 00:01:52,924
a long history of, of innovation. And so

54
00:01:52,924 --> 00:01:54,545
I'm gonna kinda highlight that,

55
00:01:55,325 --> 00:01:55,825
initially,

56
00:01:56,270 --> 00:01:58,270
talk about what sort of portfolio we have

57
00:01:58,270 --> 00:02:00,290
currently with our Coriolis flow meters,

58
00:02:00,829 --> 00:02:02,510
and then talk about a couple of new

59
00:02:02,510 --> 00:02:04,189
cool things that that we have released over

60
00:02:04,189 --> 00:02:05,969
the last couple of couple of months.

61
00:02:06,270 --> 00:02:08,189
And then finish off with, what we call

62
00:02:08,189 --> 00:02:12,085
heartbeat technology. It's our advanced diagnostic system in

63
00:02:12,085 --> 00:02:13,604
all of our flow meters and all of

64
00:02:13,604 --> 00:02:15,064
our products across the board.

65
00:02:15,444 --> 00:02:16,724
It started with flow.

66
00:02:17,044 --> 00:02:18,324
So I think there's a lot of you

67
00:02:18,405 --> 00:02:20,245
cool use cases, and I'll I'll highlight a

68
00:02:20,245 --> 00:02:22,405
couple of those as well. And then, of

69
00:02:22,405 --> 00:02:25,950
course, Sean is the the audience here. Anytime

70
00:02:25,950 --> 00:02:28,689
there's questions or anything, please feel free to

71
00:02:28,830 --> 00:02:30,030
to let me know, and I can I

72
00:02:30,030 --> 00:02:31,389
can try and address them as they come

73
00:02:31,389 --> 00:02:31,889
up?

74
00:02:32,270 --> 00:02:34,849
Sounds good. Yeah. Awesome. Great.

75
00:02:35,230 --> 00:02:37,950
So I guess our first Coriolis meter that

76
00:02:37,950 --> 00:02:40,290
we introduced into the market was back in,

77
00:02:40,824 --> 00:02:41,944
1986.

78
00:02:41,944 --> 00:02:44,344
So it's been some time. As you can

79
00:02:44,344 --> 00:02:46,425
tell by the the slide here, there's a

80
00:02:46,425 --> 00:02:48,925
lot of different designs of Coriolis flowmeters.

81
00:02:49,305 --> 00:02:51,245
There isn't one right way to do it,

82
00:02:51,385 --> 00:02:53,544
but I think that the way that Anderson

83
00:02:53,544 --> 00:02:54,604
Houser has approached

84
00:02:55,099 --> 00:02:57,979
innovation is is pretty pretty awesome and pretty

85
00:02:57,979 --> 00:02:58,479
impressive.

86
00:02:59,180 --> 00:03:01,439
Everything from a single tube,

87
00:03:02,139 --> 00:03:04,080
design to a dual tube design,

88
00:03:04,699 --> 00:03:07,740
dual straight tube design versus a dual bent

89
00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:09,314
tube design. There are a lot of different

90
00:03:09,474 --> 00:03:11,814
types of Coriolis meters out on the market,

91
00:03:11,955 --> 00:03:14,215
and we'll talk about a couple of, differentiators

92
00:03:14,514 --> 00:03:16,775
that we that, Anderson Hauser has

93
00:03:17,155 --> 00:03:20,055
on, on some products that we've recently released.

94
00:03:20,514 --> 00:03:22,770
You know, just by looking at the, the

95
00:03:22,770 --> 00:03:25,090
slide here, the one that, like, really attracts

96
00:03:25,090 --> 00:03:27,090
my eye is the ProMASS. That's the one

97
00:03:27,090 --> 00:03:28,530
that I I think I've seen the most

98
00:03:28,530 --> 00:03:30,370
in the field. Yep. Yep. You know, walking

99
00:03:30,370 --> 00:03:33,090
around the different plants, and, that was launched

100
00:03:33,090 --> 00:03:34,210
in 1998.

101
00:03:34,210 --> 00:03:35,969
So that's been out for quite some time.

102
00:03:35,969 --> 00:03:37,574
So just wanted to throw that out there

103
00:03:37,574 --> 00:03:39,574
for those listening. That may be the one

104
00:03:39,574 --> 00:03:41,414
you've seen the most of as in your

105
00:03:41,414 --> 00:03:42,474
in your travels.

106
00:03:42,935 --> 00:03:45,014
Yeah. Yeah. Definitely. There's a lot of a

107
00:03:45,014 --> 00:03:47,574
lot of ProMasses out there. Our endpoint was

108
00:03:47,574 --> 00:03:48,455
the first one, but,

109
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,919
shortly after that, we released our ProMasses. And

110
00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:54,239
we've just been you know, we've we've had

111
00:03:54,239 --> 00:03:55,840
a lot of iterations, which I think is

112
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,219
also part of the

113
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:00,800
impressive thing in terms of innovation that Anderson

114
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:02,419
Hauser continues to

115
00:04:02,985 --> 00:04:05,305
to to, do in terms of research and

116
00:04:05,305 --> 00:04:07,544
development on that. And the one that I

117
00:04:07,544 --> 00:04:09,544
always think about is is the the one

118
00:04:09,544 --> 00:04:10,925
that kinda looks like a UFO.

119
00:04:12,504 --> 00:04:14,745
That is our ProMASS X. It's a high

120
00:04:14,745 --> 00:04:16,365
capacity, large diameter,

121
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:19,759
Coriolis meter with four tubes in there. So

122
00:04:19,759 --> 00:04:22,240
it's kind of bent two separate sys systems

123
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,939
and then put together in one,

124
00:04:24,399 --> 00:04:26,079
large device, and I always I always think

125
00:04:26,079 --> 00:04:27,639
that one's cool because it kinda looks like

126
00:04:27,639 --> 00:04:29,360
a like something out of Star Wars or

127
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:30,500
something. Yep. Yep.

128
00:04:30,879 --> 00:04:33,384
So, yep, so I I think that's that's

129
00:04:33,384 --> 00:04:35,464
really, really cool. There's a lot of new

130
00:04:35,464 --> 00:04:37,064
things that we've released, and this is, I

131
00:04:37,064 --> 00:04:38,685
mean, this is a short

132
00:04:39,064 --> 00:04:41,305
timeline of of some of the innovations that

133
00:04:41,305 --> 00:04:42,204
we have. But,

134
00:04:42,745 --> 00:04:44,185
you know, over the last year or so,

135
00:04:44,185 --> 00:04:46,524
we've we've definitely invested a little bit more,

136
00:04:47,089 --> 00:04:47,589
into

137
00:04:48,449 --> 00:04:49,509
specific applications,

138
00:04:50,129 --> 00:04:52,290
and that kind of leads us into our

139
00:04:52,290 --> 00:04:53,269
entire portfolio

140
00:04:53,649 --> 00:04:55,110
of Coriolis flow meters.

141
00:04:55,889 --> 00:04:57,589
We have 17 different sensors.

142
00:04:57,970 --> 00:04:59,175
So that is not

143
00:04:59,735 --> 00:05:01,754
a normal thing in the industry.

144
00:05:02,774 --> 00:05:03,995
I I think that

145
00:05:04,454 --> 00:05:06,375
to some people, it it can be confusing

146
00:05:06,375 --> 00:05:07,894
if you're looking at them all at the

147
00:05:07,894 --> 00:05:09,914
same time, a little overwhelming.

148
00:05:11,334 --> 00:05:13,495
But I I think it's really important that

149
00:05:13,495 --> 00:05:14,579
I that I kind of

150
00:05:15,379 --> 00:05:17,779
talk about this in terms of every application

151
00:05:17,779 --> 00:05:18,759
that we look at.

152
00:05:19,300 --> 00:05:21,220
We're not trying to put one flow meter

153
00:05:21,220 --> 00:05:22,120
into that application.

154
00:05:23,539 --> 00:05:25,939
We're taking the application and the requirements of

155
00:05:25,939 --> 00:05:29,060
that application and designing a device that's meant

156
00:05:29,060 --> 00:05:29,719
for it.

157
00:05:30,099 --> 00:05:30,495
So,

158
00:05:31,454 --> 00:05:33,634
in certain applications, you may not

159
00:05:34,334 --> 00:05:37,294
have to choose between 17 different sensors. You

160
00:05:37,294 --> 00:05:39,055
really have probably two or three that you're

161
00:05:39,055 --> 00:05:41,394
trying to to decide between and weigh,

162
00:05:42,254 --> 00:05:43,794
both pressure drop, accuracy,

163
00:05:44,490 --> 00:05:44,990
density

164
00:05:45,529 --> 00:05:48,089
specifications, things like that that that will ultimately

165
00:05:48,089 --> 00:05:50,410
give you the the best meter for that

166
00:05:50,410 --> 00:05:53,389
application. But we we don't wanna take a

167
00:05:54,089 --> 00:05:56,009
an approach of trying to,

168
00:05:57,254 --> 00:05:59,655
cram a a sensor into an application. We

169
00:05:59,655 --> 00:06:02,935
would prefer to design the sensor in and

170
00:06:02,935 --> 00:06:04,475
meant for certain applications.

171
00:06:04,935 --> 00:06:05,435
So

172
00:06:06,134 --> 00:06:08,535
it does I guess there's two questions on

173
00:06:08,535 --> 00:06:10,830
here. Why so many sensors? Well, because we

174
00:06:10,830 --> 00:06:13,709
wanna design our our sensors for specific applications.

175
00:06:13,709 --> 00:06:15,730
There's a lot of different applications out there.

176
00:06:16,509 --> 00:06:18,110
Doesn't that make it confusing? Well, of course,

177
00:06:18,110 --> 00:06:19,949
it makes it a little confusing if you're

178
00:06:19,949 --> 00:06:22,189
looking at it from from the high level

179
00:06:22,189 --> 00:06:23,490
17 different sensors.

180
00:06:23,870 --> 00:06:24,345
But,

181
00:06:24,745 --> 00:06:26,904
every application that we look at, we're we're

182
00:06:26,904 --> 00:06:27,805
trying to,

183
00:06:28,584 --> 00:06:31,225
there's a lot of different requirements of of

184
00:06:31,225 --> 00:06:33,964
applications in oil and gas versus life sciences,

185
00:06:34,264 --> 00:06:36,990
and we wanted to design sensors that fit

186
00:06:36,990 --> 00:06:39,550
the market and fit the application that they're

187
00:06:39,550 --> 00:06:40,689
supposed to go into.

188
00:06:41,389 --> 00:06:43,629
And in general, all of them work the

189
00:06:43,629 --> 00:06:44,689
exact same way.

190
00:06:45,310 --> 00:06:47,250
As a as a general rule of thumb,

191
00:06:47,310 --> 00:06:49,970
your Coriolis flow meter measurements are

192
00:06:50,375 --> 00:06:53,095
mass flow, density, and temperature as a as

193
00:06:53,095 --> 00:06:54,154
a starting point.

194
00:06:54,774 --> 00:06:56,375
We'll talk about a couple of features that

195
00:06:56,375 --> 00:06:58,055
we've started adding to some of our flow

196
00:06:58,055 --> 00:06:59,435
meters that that,

197
00:07:00,535 --> 00:07:01,995
create more of a multivariable

198
00:07:03,069 --> 00:07:05,389
device. Instead of just measuring those three things,

199
00:07:05,389 --> 00:07:07,410
we can add viscosity or,

200
00:07:08,350 --> 00:07:10,210
we can do other things or concentration,

201
00:07:11,230 --> 00:07:13,170
things like that, with the meters.

202
00:07:13,790 --> 00:07:15,629
But in general, the mass flow is is

203
00:07:15,629 --> 00:07:16,129
using,

204
00:07:16,875 --> 00:07:19,435
the phase shift between your inlet and outlet

205
00:07:19,435 --> 00:07:20,254
pickup coils

206
00:07:20,714 --> 00:07:23,035
and taking that into account to relate it

207
00:07:23,035 --> 00:07:25,435
directly to the amount of mass that's within

208
00:07:25,435 --> 00:07:26,175
those tubes.

209
00:07:26,555 --> 00:07:29,375
And then similarly, as the tubes are oscillating,

210
00:07:30,490 --> 00:07:33,310
a more dense fluid is going to have

211
00:07:33,449 --> 00:07:34,910
a lower resonant frequency.

212
00:07:35,689 --> 00:07:38,910
And based around resonant frequencies, we can understand

213
00:07:39,129 --> 00:07:42,194
how dense the fluid is inside of the,

214
00:07:43,235 --> 00:07:44,855
inside of those flow tubes.

215
00:07:45,235 --> 00:07:46,595
And then we also have on every single

216
00:07:46,595 --> 00:07:48,615
one of our Coriolis flow meters,

217
00:07:49,314 --> 00:07:50,455
PT 1,000,

218
00:07:51,154 --> 00:07:53,555
temperature probe that's attached directly to the inside

219
00:07:53,555 --> 00:07:55,379
of the, the outside of the tube

220
00:07:55,860 --> 00:07:57,480
within the secondary containment,

221
00:07:58,580 --> 00:07:59,959
for additional values,

222
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:01,480
additional multivariable,

223
00:08:02,740 --> 00:08:04,279
use uses. I mean,

224
00:08:04,580 --> 00:08:06,920
for for example, on a on a concentration

225
00:08:07,060 --> 00:08:07,560
measurement,

226
00:08:08,145 --> 00:08:10,725
really what you're using is density and temperature

227
00:08:11,105 --> 00:08:11,845
in conjunction,

228
00:08:13,024 --> 00:08:14,964
to relate that to a concentration.

229
00:08:15,985 --> 00:08:18,625
So that's something that that we would that

230
00:08:18,625 --> 00:08:21,264
that would add to the use cases for

231
00:08:21,264 --> 00:08:22,485
for a a Coriolis

232
00:08:22,889 --> 00:08:23,550
flow meter.

233
00:08:24,810 --> 00:08:25,870
And one of the the

234
00:08:26,250 --> 00:08:29,129
current biggest innovations that we've had recently is

235
00:08:29,129 --> 00:08:30,829
with our our ProMaths queue.

236
00:08:31,129 --> 00:08:32,970
The ProMaths queue is a a little bit

237
00:08:32,970 --> 00:08:34,409
of a different design than some of the

238
00:08:34,409 --> 00:08:36,169
other ProMasses that you may have seen on

239
00:08:36,169 --> 00:08:37,424
on some previous slides.

240
00:08:38,304 --> 00:08:38,964
We actually,

241
00:08:39,745 --> 00:08:40,884
have a little bit,

242
00:08:41,664 --> 00:08:44,644
longer tube that's, has a more

243
00:08:44,945 --> 00:08:47,904
harsher bend in it. Mhmm. The reason for

244
00:08:47,904 --> 00:08:49,825
that is because what we're trying to do

245
00:08:49,825 --> 00:08:51,845
is we're trying to oscillate these two sensors

246
00:08:51,904 --> 00:08:52,725
or these two

247
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,540
flow tubes at two at the same frequency,

248
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,879
but in two different modes. So in multiple

249
00:08:59,879 --> 00:09:00,379
frequencies,

250
00:09:01,879 --> 00:09:02,940
at the same time.

251
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,480
So, essentially, what we're doing is our our

252
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:05,980
historic

253
00:09:07,115 --> 00:09:09,355
use of a a pro mass meter is

254
00:09:09,355 --> 00:09:11,294
kind of in that that top

255
00:09:12,315 --> 00:09:12,815
visual

256
00:09:13,194 --> 00:09:15,534
where we're oscillating in one frequency,

257
00:09:17,115 --> 00:09:19,914
and one one specific frequency depending on the

258
00:09:19,914 --> 00:09:22,700
fluid that's going through it. And then on

259
00:09:22,700 --> 00:09:25,679
the at the bottom, we show an additional

260
00:09:25,820 --> 00:09:28,700
mode of oscillation, so an additional frequency that

261
00:09:28,700 --> 00:09:31,679
we're oscillating at that gives us additional information

262
00:09:32,460 --> 00:09:33,759
for, specifically

263
00:09:34,460 --> 00:09:35,600
challenging applications.

264
00:09:36,554 --> 00:09:37,995
So in in in a lot of these

265
00:09:37,995 --> 00:09:40,254
cases, what we what we see

266
00:09:40,634 --> 00:09:42,735
in most of these applications is,

267
00:09:43,835 --> 00:09:45,774
a lot of whipped products,

268
00:09:46,475 --> 00:09:49,855
purposeful entrainment of of air into into,

269
00:09:50,235 --> 00:09:50,735
applications.

270
00:09:51,419 --> 00:09:53,659
So cement in general, let's say, as an

271
00:09:53,659 --> 00:09:56,639
example, we can start there. Well cement, you're

272
00:09:57,259 --> 00:09:59,740
it's aerated all the time. So as you

273
00:09:59,740 --> 00:10:02,080
are are moving that cement around,

274
00:10:03,179 --> 00:10:05,820
air pockets can be filled in inside of

275
00:10:05,820 --> 00:10:06,559
that cement

276
00:10:07,615 --> 00:10:09,315
and can cause challenges

277
00:10:10,014 --> 00:10:13,475
as most things with air cause challenges, especially

278
00:10:14,014 --> 00:10:17,075
as as you're moving into a multiphase fluid.

279
00:10:17,615 --> 00:10:20,834
Anytime you have one or more than one

280
00:10:21,410 --> 00:10:25,009
fluid phase within the the the meter, the

281
00:10:25,009 --> 00:10:27,970
meter can is it's it's almost like, the

282
00:10:27,970 --> 00:10:29,190
meter is kind of confused.

283
00:10:29,649 --> 00:10:31,730
It it's not really sure what it's supposed

284
00:10:31,730 --> 00:10:33,889
to be reading and what it is reading

285
00:10:33,889 --> 00:10:35,325
and why it's reading that.

286
00:10:36,684 --> 00:10:39,725
So with with multi frequency technology, we can

287
00:10:39,725 --> 00:10:40,225
actually

288
00:10:41,325 --> 00:10:41,825
compensate

289
00:10:42,605 --> 00:10:45,485
internally compensate because we're oscillating in two modes.

290
00:10:45,485 --> 00:10:48,225
We can compensate for the air that's present

291
00:10:48,629 --> 00:10:49,610
and give a,

292
00:10:50,230 --> 00:10:52,649
a corrected mass flow and a corrected,

293
00:10:53,590 --> 00:10:54,090
density.

294
00:10:54,549 --> 00:10:57,290
So Right. A lot of milk milk applications,

295
00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:58,330
cream cheese,

296
00:10:59,750 --> 00:11:01,384
well cement, anything like

297
00:11:01,764 --> 00:11:03,845
that. That's awesome. Could you back up one

298
00:11:03,845 --> 00:11:05,925
slide for a second? Sure. Sure. I just

299
00:11:06,004 --> 00:11:08,165
I find this so interesting, but I I

300
00:11:08,165 --> 00:11:10,485
know that the audience, not everybody's on the

301
00:11:10,485 --> 00:11:11,225
same page.

302
00:11:11,605 --> 00:11:13,285
So I think this would be a great

303
00:11:13,285 --> 00:11:15,720
slide. Could you just, like, vary what the

304
00:11:15,879 --> 00:11:16,379
basic

305
00:11:16,919 --> 00:11:17,659
the basic

306
00:11:18,039 --> 00:11:19,259
operation of

307
00:11:19,879 --> 00:11:22,519
a Coriolis flow meter is? Okay. We know

308
00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:24,679
we're trying to measure typically the flow rate,

309
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:25,740
the flow rate. Right?

310
00:11:26,199 --> 00:11:28,199
And, you know, there's all these variables that

311
00:11:28,199 --> 00:11:29,799
go into it. But could you really just,

312
00:11:29,799 --> 00:11:32,074
you know, give us the the introductory,

313
00:11:32,454 --> 00:11:34,235
you know, how does this thing work?

314
00:11:34,855 --> 00:11:37,115
Sure. So there are exciters,

315
00:11:37,894 --> 00:11:39,995
if if you will, or vibrating

316
00:11:40,534 --> 00:11:41,034
electronics

317
00:11:41,654 --> 00:11:44,694
that's going to oscillate those flow tubes. Okay.

318
00:11:44,934 --> 00:11:45,495
And they're gonna

319
00:11:46,519 --> 00:11:48,539
if there's no flow in it, the oscillation

320
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:49,980
is going

321
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:51,500
to basically be,

322
00:11:52,279 --> 00:11:55,480
very in line, in sync. Your tubes are

323
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,340
going to move out and then move in.

324
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:58,860
And,

325
00:11:59,254 --> 00:12:01,735
again, it's these are a little exaggerated in

326
00:12:01,735 --> 00:12:04,455
terms of videos, but the actual tubes will

327
00:12:04,455 --> 00:12:06,955
will start vibrating, almost like a tuning fork

328
00:12:07,174 --> 00:12:09,575
or you hit a wine glass on the

329
00:12:09,575 --> 00:12:10,855
side of a table and you get the

330
00:12:10,855 --> 00:12:12,774
vibration out of the wine glass. That's kind

331
00:12:12,774 --> 00:12:14,554
of the same vibration that's happening.

332
00:12:14,940 --> 00:12:17,360
And now as we start flowing product

333
00:12:17,740 --> 00:12:19,200
through those flow tubes,

334
00:12:19,580 --> 00:12:21,759
we get these these waves that are created.

335
00:12:22,220 --> 00:12:24,860
And the inlet and outlet pickup coil are

336
00:12:24,860 --> 00:12:26,240
now not in sync,

337
00:12:26,875 --> 00:12:29,355
meaning that we're using the Coriolis force or

338
00:12:29,355 --> 00:12:32,014
we're essentially looking at a phase shift

339
00:12:32,394 --> 00:12:33,134
as those

340
00:12:33,514 --> 00:12:35,774
tubes start to create those waves,

341
00:12:36,555 --> 00:12:38,955
where where there's a time difference between the

342
00:12:38,955 --> 00:12:41,740
inlet and the outlet pickup coil. And that

343
00:12:41,740 --> 00:12:45,019
time difference is ultimately what's related to phase

344
00:12:45,019 --> 00:12:47,740
shift, which is ultimately what's related to that

345
00:12:47,740 --> 00:12:49,519
mass flow that's inside the tubes.

346
00:12:50,220 --> 00:12:52,860
Similarly, as we're oscillating those tubes, if we

347
00:12:52,860 --> 00:12:53,360
have

348
00:12:53,754 --> 00:12:55,034
water going through that,

349
00:12:55,914 --> 00:12:58,475
those tubes, well, we know what the resonant

350
00:12:58,475 --> 00:13:00,334
frequency should be of water.

351
00:13:00,875 --> 00:13:03,595
We also know what the resonant frequency is

352
00:13:03,595 --> 00:13:05,855
of a more dense or a lighter,

353
00:13:06,279 --> 00:13:08,759
less dense fluid. So now we can start

354
00:13:08,759 --> 00:13:09,259
understanding

355
00:13:09,879 --> 00:13:12,360
what the density is specifically as well. So

356
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,899
that's where kind of the multivariable,

357
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:17,179
measurements happen within the flow tube.

358
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,559
But, essentially, all of it's based around a

359
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:21,500
time measurement. It's all based around

360
00:13:22,115 --> 00:13:23,315
when does this,

361
00:13:23,794 --> 00:13:25,794
this pickup coil pick up this tube, and

362
00:13:25,794 --> 00:13:26,855
when does this pickup,

363
00:13:27,394 --> 00:13:29,634
outlet pickup coil pick up the the tube

364
00:13:29,634 --> 00:13:30,375
coming back.

365
00:13:31,394 --> 00:13:31,894
Yep.

366
00:13:32,274 --> 00:13:34,214
Yeah. And so we talked about the ProMASQ

367
00:13:34,914 --> 00:13:36,134
having two modes

368
00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:39,190
because when the liquids or, you know, like,

369
00:13:39,190 --> 00:13:41,670
the substance, like cement or dairy, you know,

370
00:13:41,670 --> 00:13:43,430
cream or whatnot, have a lot of ear

371
00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:45,269
in it, that could be a challenge. So

372
00:13:45,269 --> 00:13:46,649
you have this other mode.

373
00:13:47,509 --> 00:13:49,190
We also talked about having a,

374
00:13:49,985 --> 00:13:53,665
the temperature sensor thermocouple built in. Mhmm. Is

375
00:13:53,665 --> 00:13:55,904
is temperature always and I know I'm asking

376
00:13:55,904 --> 00:13:58,144
a lot of crazy questions here, but is

377
00:13:58,144 --> 00:14:00,625
temperature always a factor? Because I can see

378
00:14:00,625 --> 00:14:03,345
definitely products operate very differently than based on

379
00:14:03,345 --> 00:14:05,779
the temperature. Is temperature always a factor in,

380
00:14:06,019 --> 00:14:07,080
coming up with the calculation?

381
00:14:07,940 --> 00:14:08,679
So, typically,

382
00:14:08,980 --> 00:14:10,759
temperature is going to affect

383
00:14:11,300 --> 00:14:12,600
not only the fluid.

384
00:14:13,059 --> 00:14:15,700
It's also going to affect the properties of

385
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:16,840
the tubes themselves.

386
00:14:17,540 --> 00:14:20,105
So that's something that's often overlooked. And and

387
00:14:20,105 --> 00:14:22,924
when when we're when we're looking at applications,

388
00:14:23,625 --> 00:14:25,565
yes, we care about what the the

389
00:14:26,264 --> 00:14:28,444
the temperature of the fluid is because,

390
00:14:29,225 --> 00:14:31,404
the density of that fluid may change.

391
00:14:31,944 --> 00:14:34,345
There may be more or less mass flow

392
00:14:34,345 --> 00:14:34,845
depending,

393
00:14:36,149 --> 00:14:36,649
on,

394
00:14:37,350 --> 00:14:38,870
how close a pump is. There's a lot

395
00:14:38,870 --> 00:14:42,070
of installation effects as well. But, ultimately, the

396
00:14:42,070 --> 00:14:42,570
the

397
00:14:43,190 --> 00:14:45,509
as those tubes are oscillating, if you're if

398
00:14:45,509 --> 00:14:48,389
the temperature is low enough or the temperature

399
00:14:48,389 --> 00:14:51,134
is high enough, those tubes are have the

400
00:14:51,134 --> 00:14:53,154
potential to move more or

401
00:14:53,535 --> 00:14:55,295
less Yeah. As you're oscillating them. So that's

402
00:14:55,295 --> 00:14:57,375
where temperature plays a really big factor, not

403
00:14:57,375 --> 00:15:00,335
only in in measuring temperature, that's a great

404
00:15:00,335 --> 00:15:02,274
added value, but also in

405
00:15:02,759 --> 00:15:03,259
the,

406
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:04,700
the thermal,

407
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,259
properties of the actual tube's

408
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:08,940
material themselves.

409
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,160
Thank you for taking my questions. I just

410
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,300
find this interesting.

411
00:15:12,759 --> 00:15:14,759
Yeah. Oh, that's that's great. That's a great

412
00:15:14,759 --> 00:15:17,335
question. That is something that that isn't really

413
00:15:17,335 --> 00:15:18,235
thought about, but,

414
00:15:18,615 --> 00:15:20,215
we always we always have to take that

415
00:15:20,215 --> 00:15:22,075
into account. And and that's part of,

416
00:15:22,855 --> 00:15:23,835
ensuring that

417
00:15:24,375 --> 00:15:24,875
the

418
00:15:25,254 --> 00:15:27,115
the stated accuracy, their specifications

419
00:15:27,415 --> 00:15:30,075
of the device are met throughout the entire,

420
00:15:30,855 --> 00:15:34,440
temperature range of the meter's specification. So if

421
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,059
we know that we're gonna be operating,

422
00:15:36,519 --> 00:15:39,240
this meter is rated for negative 40 degrees

423
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:39,899
f to

424
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,200
300 degrees f, well, we have to make

425
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,339
sure that we understand

426
00:15:43,959 --> 00:15:45,580
how the tubes will react

427
00:15:45,959 --> 00:15:49,024
throughout that entire range. And that's that again

428
00:15:49,024 --> 00:15:50,945
goes back to that innovation that goes back

429
00:15:50,945 --> 00:15:53,345
to the research and development that goes into

430
00:15:53,345 --> 00:15:54,725
the design of these sensors.

431
00:15:55,024 --> 00:15:55,524
So,

432
00:15:56,144 --> 00:15:58,245
a lot of important things there.

433
00:15:59,424 --> 00:16:01,605
So with that, I guess there's there's another

434
00:16:02,129 --> 00:16:04,629
added value that that comes into play when,

435
00:16:05,170 --> 00:16:06,470
we talk about oscillating

436
00:16:06,850 --> 00:16:08,629
that Pro Mask Q at a,

437
00:16:09,090 --> 00:16:10,230
at two modes.

438
00:16:10,850 --> 00:16:12,790
There's actually an additional

439
00:16:13,649 --> 00:16:15,509
effect that happens to the tubes,

440
00:16:15,914 --> 00:16:18,075
And as those tubes because of how long

441
00:16:18,075 --> 00:16:21,214
those tubes are, as the tubes start oscillating,

442
00:16:21,834 --> 00:16:24,315
at the end of their oscillation, at their

443
00:16:24,315 --> 00:16:26,095
maximum amplitude of oscillation,

444
00:16:26,634 --> 00:16:29,115
you get a slight twisting motion in the

445
00:16:29,115 --> 00:16:30,014
tubes themselves.

446
00:16:30,730 --> 00:16:33,129
And so we have a device that is

447
00:16:33,129 --> 00:16:34,670
called our ProMass I

448
00:16:35,050 --> 00:16:35,550
that

449
00:16:35,930 --> 00:16:36,990
directly measures,

450
00:16:37,610 --> 00:16:38,110
viscosity

451
00:16:39,129 --> 00:16:40,350
directly out of the meter.

452
00:16:41,690 --> 00:16:44,044
And that is using a similar,

453
00:16:44,904 --> 00:16:45,884
a similar technology

454
00:16:46,424 --> 00:16:49,625
in a torsional oscillation mode. Whereas the ProMAS

455
00:16:49,625 --> 00:16:52,745
Q, just by nature of design, actually has

456
00:16:52,745 --> 00:16:54,284
some slight twisting motions.

457
00:16:54,745 --> 00:16:57,129
So, you know, our our r and d

458
00:16:57,129 --> 00:16:59,370
g experts and geniuses over,

459
00:16:59,850 --> 00:17:01,549
over over overseas,

460
00:17:02,889 --> 00:17:04,730
they they came up with this idea. Well,

461
00:17:04,730 --> 00:17:05,789
why couldn't we

462
00:17:06,169 --> 00:17:08,089
do a similar thing with our ProMask Q?

463
00:17:08,089 --> 00:17:11,065
Why couldn't we look at how much shear

464
00:17:11,065 --> 00:17:12,904
we're placing on the fluid or how much

465
00:17:12,904 --> 00:17:15,005
twisting we're placing on the on the fluid

466
00:17:15,224 --> 00:17:17,644
and understand maybe a little bit more about

467
00:17:18,184 --> 00:17:20,664
the individual properties of that fluid that's going

468
00:17:20,664 --> 00:17:21,484
through the meter?

469
00:17:22,105 --> 00:17:23,005
And that's where

470
00:17:23,419 --> 00:17:24,079
the oscillation

471
00:17:24,380 --> 00:17:27,679
the the torsional oscillation or the rotational oscillation,

472
00:17:28,619 --> 00:17:31,019
of that that flow tube can give us

473
00:17:31,019 --> 00:17:32,720
a little bit more insight into

474
00:17:33,019 --> 00:17:34,000
the viscosity

475
00:17:34,380 --> 00:17:35,599
of the fluid itself.

476
00:17:36,295 --> 00:17:37,974
And so this is where kind of another

477
00:17:37,974 --> 00:17:39,755
innovation, which is on the ProMascue,

478
00:17:40,295 --> 00:17:42,394
the hydrocarbon viscosity monitoring.

479
00:17:43,734 --> 00:17:45,595
We do what's called

480
00:17:46,775 --> 00:17:49,974
we stated it's for hydrocarbon viscosity, and the

481
00:17:49,974 --> 00:17:51,515
reason for that is because

482
00:17:51,940 --> 00:17:53,799
hydrocarbons have a very known,

483
00:17:55,299 --> 00:17:58,500
viscosity profile across all different pressures and and

484
00:17:58,500 --> 00:17:59,000
temperatures.

485
00:17:59,380 --> 00:18:01,000
And so we can we can

486
00:18:01,460 --> 00:18:03,640
verify on water and ensure

487
00:18:04,035 --> 00:18:05,734
that the meter is going to

488
00:18:06,275 --> 00:18:07,414
react properly,

489
00:18:08,355 --> 00:18:10,994
and and maintain the accuracy that we stated

490
00:18:10,994 --> 00:18:12,835
it's going to have. And, again, this is

491
00:18:12,835 --> 00:18:14,775
a monitoring point. It's not necessarily

492
00:18:15,715 --> 00:18:17,015
a calibrated point.

493
00:18:17,900 --> 00:18:19,919
It is plus or minus 10% accuracy,

494
00:18:20,700 --> 00:18:23,900
which isn't very high, but it's it's enough

495
00:18:23,900 --> 00:18:25,579
to where you can start seeing when you

496
00:18:25,579 --> 00:18:28,220
have the difference between a very heavy crude

497
00:18:28,220 --> 00:18:29,440
oil and

498
00:18:30,464 --> 00:18:33,025
water or a very light crude oil or,

499
00:18:33,025 --> 00:18:34,085
like, light hydrocarbon.

500
00:18:35,105 --> 00:18:38,005
And the repeatability is ultimately where where the

501
00:18:38,224 --> 00:18:40,144
the use case comes in. So this is

502
00:18:40,144 --> 00:18:41,825
one of the highlights that I wanted to

503
00:18:41,825 --> 00:18:43,045
to point out because

504
00:18:43,380 --> 00:18:45,460
I think not only on the monitoring side,

505
00:18:45,460 --> 00:18:47,299
it gives us more values, it gives us

506
00:18:47,299 --> 00:18:50,259
more information on on what's happening inside the

507
00:18:50,259 --> 00:18:50,759
meter,

508
00:18:51,220 --> 00:18:53,140
without us having to open up the meter,

509
00:18:53,140 --> 00:18:54,980
and and or open up the the pipe

510
00:18:54,980 --> 00:18:56,200
and and look at it.

511
00:18:56,944 --> 00:18:59,265
So a couple of applications, typically you're gonna

512
00:18:59,265 --> 00:19:01,984
see them both, in all parts of oil

513
00:19:01,984 --> 00:19:04,404
and gas, which is upstream, midstream, and downstream,

514
00:19:04,464 --> 00:19:05,365
all the way into,

515
00:19:05,904 --> 00:19:06,964
refining products.

516
00:19:08,304 --> 00:19:09,525
A lot of these applications,

517
00:19:09,984 --> 00:19:12,085
in in midstream, especially in pipelines,

518
00:19:12,599 --> 00:19:15,000
is going to be the addition of some

519
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,779
sort of drag reducing agent.

520
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:18,460
So we can understand

521
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,119
as adding that as we start adding that

522
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:23,740
drag reducing agent into

523
00:19:24,039 --> 00:19:24,539
pipelines,

524
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:27,900
how much effect is it actually having?

525
00:19:28,335 --> 00:19:30,815
Are we changing the properties enough of the

526
00:19:30,815 --> 00:19:33,214
product, or is it, are we not changing

527
00:19:33,214 --> 00:19:35,134
it? Are we changing it too much? It

528
00:19:35,134 --> 00:19:36,674
gives us, more of a,

529
00:19:37,855 --> 00:19:38,595
a qualitative

530
00:19:39,615 --> 00:19:41,934
understanding of the product that's going through the

531
00:19:41,934 --> 00:19:42,434
meter.

532
00:19:43,299 --> 00:19:43,799
So

533
00:19:45,299 --> 00:19:47,220
and, you know, I'd I'd mentioned earlier, you

534
00:19:47,220 --> 00:19:48,119
know, we do,

535
00:19:48,980 --> 00:19:51,140
a lot of industries, but, you know, I

536
00:19:51,140 --> 00:19:53,940
guess the two completely opposite industries would be

537
00:19:53,940 --> 00:19:55,720
something like oil and gas and,

538
00:19:56,339 --> 00:19:57,720
life sciences or pharmaceutical,

539
00:19:58,454 --> 00:20:01,115
And that kind of plays into this transition

540
00:20:01,494 --> 00:20:02,954
here into our,

541
00:20:03,575 --> 00:20:04,714
ProMASS U.

542
00:20:05,095 --> 00:20:06,075
This is our,

543
00:20:06,934 --> 00:20:10,054
is a relatively new product, that we've had

544
00:20:10,054 --> 00:20:10,714
out for

545
00:20:11,494 --> 00:20:13,434
less than a year at this point.

546
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,799
But our ProMASS U is our single use

547
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:17,940
Coriolis technology.

548
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,919
In a lot of pharmaceutical applications, there's a

549
00:20:21,919 --> 00:20:23,940
lot of challenges in terms of cleaning,

550
00:20:24,639 --> 00:20:27,359
in terms of making sure that there's no

551
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:28,819
risk of cross contamination.

552
00:20:29,585 --> 00:20:31,525
And the biggest thing with that

553
00:20:31,825 --> 00:20:32,325
is,

554
00:20:33,505 --> 00:20:34,484
the introduction

555
00:20:35,025 --> 00:20:35,525
of

556
00:20:35,984 --> 00:20:37,285
single use production.

557
00:20:37,984 --> 00:20:38,724
So taking

558
00:20:39,424 --> 00:20:40,644
cells, biology,

559
00:20:41,345 --> 00:20:42,625
all the way through to a,

560
00:20:43,799 --> 00:20:46,839
a marketed medicine or a product, but using

561
00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:48,460
all single use products.

562
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,899
And that saves on risk for cross contamination,

563
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:53,579
especially in large factories.

564
00:20:55,159 --> 00:20:55,659
And,

565
00:20:56,585 --> 00:20:58,285
it also actually does save

566
00:20:58,585 --> 00:21:00,744
some money because of the amount of chemicals

567
00:21:00,744 --> 00:21:02,845
and and cleaning that has to go on

568
00:21:02,904 --> 00:21:04,845
in a lot of these pharmaceutical companies.

569
00:21:06,904 --> 00:21:08,285
A single use technology

570
00:21:08,830 --> 00:21:11,710
kinda fits the need in in that industry

571
00:21:11,710 --> 00:21:14,029
very, very well. So what I'm looking at

572
00:21:14,029 --> 00:21:16,190
here is it looks like a a lab

573
00:21:16,190 --> 00:21:16,690
tabletop

574
00:21:17,230 --> 00:21:18,130
type device

575
00:21:18,590 --> 00:21:21,309
Yep. And the the u, right, the the

576
00:21:21,309 --> 00:21:21,970
the pipes

577
00:21:22,424 --> 00:21:25,065
is replaceable. So Yes. It looks like a

578
00:21:25,065 --> 00:21:27,465
cartridge where you would, like, you know, turn

579
00:21:27,465 --> 00:21:29,384
a lever. You could let's say you ran

580
00:21:29,384 --> 00:21:30,285
product one

581
00:21:30,664 --> 00:21:32,105
and you ran that for a while and

582
00:21:32,105 --> 00:21:34,025
then you're done. You would turn this lever,

583
00:21:34,025 --> 00:21:35,785
release the cartridge, pull it out, and those

584
00:21:35,785 --> 00:21:37,164
pipes don't have to be cleaned.

585
00:21:37,549 --> 00:21:40,109
They can be disposed of. And now you

586
00:21:40,109 --> 00:21:41,549
put in your new one, and you can

587
00:21:41,549 --> 00:21:43,309
run a different product. And we all know,

588
00:21:43,309 --> 00:21:45,309
like, a few years ago, we all heard

589
00:21:45,309 --> 00:21:47,470
the horror stories of a pharmaceutical that makes

590
00:21:47,470 --> 00:21:48,130
two different

591
00:21:48,509 --> 00:21:51,490
batches of medicine, and it was like nightmares.

592
00:21:51,630 --> 00:21:53,355
Thank god. That never get out into the

593
00:21:53,355 --> 00:21:55,275
real world because only only god knows what

594
00:21:55,275 --> 00:21:57,835
would happen. So that's that's I like you

595
00:21:57,835 --> 00:21:59,835
can't we can't exclude that type of cross

596
00:21:59,835 --> 00:22:01,994
contamination just can't happen in Yeah. The twenty

597
00:22:01,994 --> 00:22:04,154
first cent in the twenty first century. So

598
00:22:04,234 --> 00:22:06,315
but this this is so interesting. Is this

599
00:22:06,315 --> 00:22:08,500
c is this something that would be in

600
00:22:08,500 --> 00:22:10,259
a I'm just looking at such a nice

601
00:22:10,259 --> 00:22:11,880
looking desktop device.

602
00:22:12,339 --> 00:22:14,259
Would this be something that was only used

603
00:22:14,259 --> 00:22:15,779
in a lab or could it actually be

604
00:22:15,779 --> 00:22:18,500
used in a production line? Yeah. So there's

605
00:22:18,500 --> 00:22:21,559
there's two versions. Okay. There is a tabletop,

606
00:22:21,619 --> 00:22:23,335
which is what you can kinda see on

607
00:22:23,335 --> 00:22:25,734
the screen where we have this chassis built

608
00:22:25,734 --> 00:22:26,234
around,

609
00:22:27,095 --> 00:22:29,835
the the there's really three components in this.

610
00:22:30,454 --> 00:22:31,835
There's a a transmitter

611
00:22:32,214 --> 00:22:34,075
that's kind of sitting at the top there.

612
00:22:34,615 --> 00:22:36,920
There is a base unit, which is where

613
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,460
the sensor goes into,

614
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,460
that has all the electronics,

615
00:22:40,839 --> 00:22:43,160
and then you have your disposable sensor. So

616
00:22:43,160 --> 00:22:44,839
the sensor is where all your fluid is

617
00:22:44,839 --> 00:22:47,559
gonna be flowing through. Mhmm. The base unit

618
00:22:47,559 --> 00:22:48,779
is doing all of the,

619
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:49,900
manipulation

620
00:22:50,279 --> 00:22:52,904
on the tubes themselves. So we talked about

621
00:22:53,045 --> 00:22:55,365
how a Coriolis meter works or oscillating those

622
00:22:55,365 --> 00:22:55,865
tubes.

623
00:22:56,244 --> 00:22:58,565
The base unit is actually doing that, and

624
00:22:58,565 --> 00:23:00,484
then the transmitter is taking all of that

625
00:23:00,484 --> 00:23:03,525
raw data, understanding it all jumbled up, and

626
00:23:03,525 --> 00:23:05,285
giving it out a flow rate, a very

627
00:23:05,285 --> 00:23:06,119
accurate flow rate.

628
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,720
And there's two different versions of this. There

629
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,859
is a test desktop version and a panel

630
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,559
mount version. So the panel mount version would

631
00:23:15,559 --> 00:23:17,559
be, you know, in a skid of some

632
00:23:17,559 --> 00:23:18,440
sort. Mhmm.

633
00:23:19,079 --> 00:23:20,460
That would be permanent,

634
00:23:20,855 --> 00:23:23,414
but then the the single use cartridge would

635
00:23:23,414 --> 00:23:24,315
be pulled out,

636
00:23:24,775 --> 00:23:26,695
disposed of, and then a a new one

637
00:23:26,695 --> 00:23:29,174
would be replaced there. And and that's kind

638
00:23:29,174 --> 00:23:30,855
of kind of what we're gonna get to

639
00:23:30,855 --> 00:23:33,095
too in a little bit once we start

640
00:23:33,095 --> 00:23:35,515
seeing some of the challenges in this industry.

641
00:23:35,789 --> 00:23:38,289
So this industry really is is

642
00:23:39,150 --> 00:23:41,390
it's not new, but it is in terms

643
00:23:41,390 --> 00:23:42,690
of process instrumentation.

644
00:23:43,230 --> 00:23:45,410
There's not a lot of manufacturers

645
00:23:45,789 --> 00:23:48,509
out there who who have single use flow

646
00:23:48,509 --> 00:23:49,009
technologies.

647
00:23:51,634 --> 00:23:54,674
So there's a challenge from our perspective as

648
00:23:54,674 --> 00:23:55,894
as the the manufacturer

649
00:23:56,355 --> 00:23:58,295
to try and meet all of the requirements

650
00:23:58,434 --> 00:23:59,255
of the industry,

651
00:24:00,115 --> 00:24:01,815
while providing a robust,

652
00:24:02,529 --> 00:24:03,029
accurate,

653
00:24:04,369 --> 00:24:06,630
reliable sensor for these applications.

654
00:24:07,009 --> 00:24:08,450
And so that's where our r and d

655
00:24:08,450 --> 00:24:09,029
kind of,

656
00:24:10,369 --> 00:24:11,970
hit a hit a snag at at one

657
00:24:11,970 --> 00:24:13,190
point almost because

658
00:24:14,049 --> 00:24:16,789
they're they're so used to making robust products

659
00:24:16,930 --> 00:24:17,589
that last

660
00:24:17,944 --> 00:24:20,684
ten, twenty, thirty years in process.

661
00:24:21,224 --> 00:24:22,984
Now we have to look at a product

662
00:24:22,984 --> 00:24:24,744
that we want to also do all of

663
00:24:24,744 --> 00:24:26,285
those things, but also

664
00:24:27,224 --> 00:24:29,545
be disposed of. And so there's there's some

665
00:24:29,545 --> 00:24:30,480
challenges there.

666
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:33,700
Similarly, there's a challenge of of calibration

667
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:36,419
in a lot of pharmaceutical plants because

668
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,980
certain products require calibration before they're even installed.

669
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,799
Certain products require calibration before they're installed and

670
00:24:44,799 --> 00:24:45,700
while on-site.

671
00:24:46,125 --> 00:24:46,865
And then,

672
00:24:47,805 --> 00:24:50,704
if there's ever a replacement that goes in,

673
00:24:51,164 --> 00:24:52,144
there's an additional

674
00:24:52,445 --> 00:24:55,005
calibration that might have to happen. And so

675
00:24:55,005 --> 00:24:56,605
what we wanted to do was take all

676
00:24:56,605 --> 00:24:59,164
of those constraints, all of those challenges, and

677
00:24:59,164 --> 00:25:01,404
try and check the boxes of all of

678
00:25:01,404 --> 00:25:03,539
them. And I think that's kinda where our

679
00:25:03,539 --> 00:25:04,679
single use landed.

680
00:25:05,380 --> 00:25:07,140
There are still some, you know, some certain

681
00:25:07,140 --> 00:25:09,619
applications that are challenged, but they're always gonna

682
00:25:09,619 --> 00:25:10,279
be a challenge,

683
00:25:10,740 --> 00:25:11,240
until

684
00:25:12,099 --> 00:25:12,920
there's some

685
00:25:13,299 --> 00:25:16,420
innovation that comes out that that truly meets

686
00:25:16,420 --> 00:25:17,384
that need. But,

687
00:25:18,345 --> 00:25:20,505
I guess, in general, really, if if you

688
00:25:20,505 --> 00:25:22,505
look at a high level, it's a half

689
00:25:22,505 --> 00:25:23,964
a percent accurate device.

690
00:25:25,065 --> 00:25:28,204
We have four different sizes of of sensors

691
00:25:28,265 --> 00:25:30,445
that can go into the same base unit.

692
00:25:30,509 --> 00:25:31,730
We have an eighth inch,

693
00:25:32,349 --> 00:25:34,349
a quarter inch, a half inch, and a

694
00:25:34,349 --> 00:25:36,750
one inch sensor that will go into this

695
00:25:36,750 --> 00:25:38,509
base unit. They all fit into the same

696
00:25:38,509 --> 00:25:40,509
base unit. So as we talked about it

697
00:25:40,509 --> 00:25:41,329
with an example,

698
00:25:42,029 --> 00:25:44,849
using product A, maybe you're only flowing at

699
00:25:45,485 --> 00:25:46,785
10 liters per minute,

700
00:25:47,085 --> 00:25:50,125
but then product b, you're flowing at 75

701
00:25:50,125 --> 00:25:52,445
liters per minute. Well, technically, those should probably

702
00:25:52,445 --> 00:25:53,825
be two different flow meters,

703
00:25:54,605 --> 00:25:56,705
but we can just change the different cartridges

704
00:25:56,765 --> 00:25:59,279
out, and and there's no risk of of

705
00:25:59,279 --> 00:26:01,680
contamination, and there's no need to change anything

706
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,220
other than the sensor itself.

707
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,680
It is gamma sterilizable, especially in pharmaceutical. That's

708
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,680
really important to make sure that there's no

709
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:10,180
contamination

710
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,380
at all from anything in production, from any

711
00:26:14,134 --> 00:26:16,214
anybody's hands getting on it or anything like

712
00:26:16,214 --> 00:26:16,714
that.

713
00:26:18,454 --> 00:26:20,315
We don't do it as a manufacturer.

714
00:26:21,894 --> 00:26:24,794
We would kind of rely on our OEMs,

715
00:26:25,095 --> 00:26:26,954
on our, tube set manufacturers

716
00:26:27,335 --> 00:26:28,075
to actually

717
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,639
put these skids together, and part of that

718
00:26:30,639 --> 00:26:32,880
package would be to gamma sterilize all of

719
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,039
the fittings, all of the tubing, as well

720
00:26:35,039 --> 00:26:36,500
as as well as the

721
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:37,859
the flow sensors.

722
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,599
And then we also talked about the different

723
00:26:41,599 --> 00:26:43,545
the different designs that we have.

724
00:26:44,025 --> 00:26:46,684
It is stainless steel tubes, which is different,

725
00:26:47,225 --> 00:26:48,365
and it's polycarbonate

726
00:26:48,664 --> 00:26:50,345
flow splitter. So if you see that purple

727
00:26:50,345 --> 00:26:51,404
part on the screen,

728
00:26:51,945 --> 00:26:54,205
where our tubing would come into,

729
00:26:55,384 --> 00:26:58,445
that is a plastic or a polycarbonate

730
00:26:59,559 --> 00:27:00,059
product.

731
00:27:00,599 --> 00:27:03,480
And then the tubes themselves where we're actually

732
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,059
performing the measurements is a stainless steel,

733
00:27:06,519 --> 00:27:07,820
three sixteen l,

734
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,900
material, which is different because at

735
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,460
when you think about

736
00:27:13,045 --> 00:27:15,205
single use, you think about plastic. You think

737
00:27:15,205 --> 00:27:15,705
about,

738
00:27:16,404 --> 00:27:16,904
bags

739
00:27:17,205 --> 00:27:19,625
that are plastic, bioreactors that are plastic,

740
00:27:20,325 --> 00:27:22,164
because they're easy to throw away and they

741
00:27:22,325 --> 00:27:23,065
they're inexpensive.

742
00:27:25,525 --> 00:27:27,769
But we felt like in order to meet

743
00:27:27,769 --> 00:27:29,609
all of those challenges and all of those,

744
00:27:29,929 --> 00:27:31,470
constraints in terms of,

745
00:27:32,089 --> 00:27:32,589
current,

746
00:27:33,529 --> 00:27:34,429
sensor designs,

747
00:27:34,970 --> 00:27:36,970
we felt like the most robust way to

748
00:27:36,970 --> 00:27:39,069
do that would be to use stainless steel.

749
00:27:39,265 --> 00:27:41,345
And we have a long history of of

750
00:27:41,345 --> 00:27:41,845
manufacturing

751
00:27:42,224 --> 00:27:43,365
stainless steel devices,

752
00:27:43,825 --> 00:27:45,904
and so this is just, another way that

753
00:27:45,904 --> 00:27:46,544
we could,

754
00:27:47,025 --> 00:27:49,525
show our our expertise in

755
00:27:50,065 --> 00:27:52,404
in in products and in especially in Coriolis

756
00:27:52,464 --> 00:27:52,964
meters.

757
00:27:54,224 --> 00:27:54,720
So

758
00:27:55,679 --> 00:27:57,839
there are, as I mentioned, three components. You

759
00:27:57,839 --> 00:27:59,700
have your base unit or your single,

760
00:28:00,319 --> 00:28:03,440
single use disposable sensor. Down at the bottom

761
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,200
there, you have your base unit, which is

762
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,679
again where all your electronics are, and then

763
00:28:07,679 --> 00:28:08,659
you have your,

764
00:28:09,485 --> 00:28:11,424
and then you have your transmitter. And there's

765
00:28:11,485 --> 00:28:13,565
a cable going from the the transmitter to

766
00:28:13,565 --> 00:28:14,705
the the base unit.

767
00:28:15,805 --> 00:28:17,164
There's a couple of things I want to

768
00:28:17,164 --> 00:28:18,845
highlight on the inside of what the meter

769
00:28:18,845 --> 00:28:20,700
is and how it what it looks like.

770
00:28:21,419 --> 00:28:23,519
The first thing and probably the most important

771
00:28:23,980 --> 00:28:25,679
is that barcode scanner.

772
00:28:25,980 --> 00:28:28,299
So every single one of these disposable flow

773
00:28:28,299 --> 00:28:29,359
tubes gets calibrated

774
00:28:30,380 --> 00:28:31,279
at our factory

775
00:28:31,579 --> 00:28:32,880
and then gets imprinted

776
00:28:33,339 --> 00:28:36,115
a QR code on the inside of the

777
00:28:36,115 --> 00:28:36,855
flow meter.

778
00:28:37,394 --> 00:28:40,194
And that QR code, that two d barcode

779
00:28:40,194 --> 00:28:42,375
scanner actually scans that information.

780
00:28:42,835 --> 00:28:44,994
So it can it can accurately pull in

781
00:28:44,994 --> 00:28:46,375
the calibration information.

782
00:28:46,849 --> 00:28:48,450
It can pull in the serial number of

783
00:28:48,450 --> 00:28:50,210
the tubes. It can pull in the line

784
00:28:50,210 --> 00:28:51,809
size of the tubes. It can pull in

785
00:28:51,809 --> 00:28:54,230
a lot of information related to those tubes.

786
00:28:55,009 --> 00:28:56,450
And then it can relay that back to

787
00:28:56,450 --> 00:28:58,309
the transmitter, and the transmitter

788
00:28:58,849 --> 00:29:01,750
can check to make sure everything seems functional.

789
00:29:02,295 --> 00:29:04,215
And that kind of falls into where our

790
00:29:04,215 --> 00:29:05,115
heartbeat technology,

791
00:29:06,055 --> 00:29:08,134
conversation may come in in in just a

792
00:29:08,134 --> 00:29:08,875
little bit.

793
00:29:09,654 --> 00:29:12,235
And then again, all the electronics are our

794
00:29:12,695 --> 00:29:14,394
sensor electronics boards,

795
00:29:14,849 --> 00:29:15,349
our,

796
00:29:16,130 --> 00:29:18,710
ISCM or our sensor electronics module,

797
00:29:19,490 --> 00:29:21,589
all is based inside that base unit,

798
00:29:23,970 --> 00:29:26,769
inside this very large not not very large,

799
00:29:26,769 --> 00:29:29,029
but a a very heavy bodied

800
00:29:29,875 --> 00:29:30,694
base unit

801
00:29:30,994 --> 00:29:32,134
to ensure stability,

802
00:29:32,595 --> 00:29:33,575
across the board.

803
00:29:35,075 --> 00:29:36,914
And so here's an example of what that

804
00:29:36,914 --> 00:29:38,994
QR code kinda looks like on the on

805
00:29:38,994 --> 00:29:41,315
the backside of that that flow tube, and

806
00:29:41,315 --> 00:29:42,134
then another,

807
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,819
look into kind of what the

808
00:29:45,119 --> 00:29:47,359
the the inside of the base unit looks

809
00:29:47,359 --> 00:29:48,740
like. You see

810
00:29:49,039 --> 00:29:51,759
coil inlet one, coil inlet two, or coil

811
00:29:51,759 --> 00:29:52,559
outlet two.

812
00:29:53,039 --> 00:29:54,880
Similarly to kind of what we talked about

813
00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:55,380
before,

814
00:29:55,835 --> 00:29:58,234
we really care about what's hap what's going

815
00:29:58,234 --> 00:30:01,434
on in between those tubes, in between those

816
00:30:01,434 --> 00:30:03,775
those two coils. And so we're magnetically

817
00:30:04,075 --> 00:30:04,575
oscillating

818
00:30:05,195 --> 00:30:05,674
the,

819
00:30:06,555 --> 00:30:08,095
the Coriolis flow tubes

820
00:30:08,579 --> 00:30:11,140
inside at that back piece, that back,

821
00:30:13,380 --> 00:30:15,079
what is that? It's like a gray

822
00:30:15,460 --> 00:30:15,960
type

823
00:30:16,980 --> 00:30:19,720
ceramic piece in the back, and that's ultimately

824
00:30:19,779 --> 00:30:20,505
giving us

825
00:30:21,625 --> 00:30:23,865
giving us that oscillation that we're looking for.

826
00:30:23,865 --> 00:30:25,464
And then our inlet and outlet,

827
00:30:25,785 --> 00:30:28,605
pickup coils are also magnetically coupled

828
00:30:29,065 --> 00:30:31,164
to to the sensors, and,

829
00:30:31,625 --> 00:30:34,025
we can detect very small changes in those

830
00:30:34,025 --> 00:30:34,924
at that oscillations

831
00:30:35,650 --> 00:30:36,390
those oscillations.

832
00:30:38,289 --> 00:30:40,390
So very very cool, very innovative.

833
00:30:40,769 --> 00:30:42,289
It's a product that we've had out for

834
00:30:42,289 --> 00:30:43,089
a while in,

835
00:30:44,130 --> 00:30:45,809
a while, less than less than a year,

836
00:30:45,809 --> 00:30:47,650
but long enough. And there's been a lot

837
00:30:47,650 --> 00:30:50,130
of interest in in the pharmaceutical space, especially

838
00:30:50,130 --> 00:30:51,984
as people are trying to save costs,

839
00:30:52,764 --> 00:30:55,024
go closer to maybe

840
00:30:55,325 --> 00:30:57,184
a personalized medicine approach,

841
00:30:57,964 --> 00:30:59,424
where there's gonna be smaller,

842
00:31:00,044 --> 00:31:02,924
amounts of product going through, more expensive amount

843
00:31:02,924 --> 00:31:04,224
of product going through.

844
00:31:05,029 --> 00:31:07,690
Accuracy is gonna be the most important there.

845
00:31:09,029 --> 00:31:10,069
And so this is where,

846
00:31:10,470 --> 00:31:11,769
we kinda talk about

847
00:31:12,390 --> 00:31:14,809
a little bit more about how to maintain

848
00:31:15,109 --> 00:31:17,769
that data trail, that automated data trail from

849
00:31:17,944 --> 00:31:20,025
the cal the calibration in the factory all

850
00:31:20,025 --> 00:31:21,325
the way into production.

851
00:31:21,704 --> 00:31:23,224
And so in this case, what we what

852
00:31:23,224 --> 00:31:25,384
we're looking at is, here's the process of

853
00:31:25,384 --> 00:31:27,704
what would happen in in in a in

854
00:31:27,704 --> 00:31:30,345
a system. We would calibrate the tubes at

855
00:31:30,345 --> 00:31:31,005
our factory.

856
00:31:31,579 --> 00:31:33,900
The tubes would go to a tube set

857
00:31:33,900 --> 00:31:34,400
manufacturer.

858
00:31:35,259 --> 00:31:37,420
The tube set manufacturer puts all of these

859
00:31:37,420 --> 00:31:38,320
pieces together.

860
00:31:38,700 --> 00:31:41,099
They double bag them in a class seven

861
00:31:41,099 --> 00:31:41,599
ISO,

862
00:31:42,059 --> 00:31:43,599
ISO class seven environment.

863
00:31:44,194 --> 00:31:45,414
Super clean area,

864
00:31:45,875 --> 00:31:48,115
no risk of contamination there. And then just

865
00:31:48,115 --> 00:31:49,954
to be even more safe, they're going to

866
00:31:49,954 --> 00:31:51,974
gamma sterilize it there. Then

867
00:31:52,434 --> 00:31:53,815
they're going to bring it on-site

868
00:31:54,194 --> 00:31:56,055
where they have their skid created,

869
00:31:56,700 --> 00:31:59,579
and they're gonna plug everything in. And then

870
00:31:59,579 --> 00:32:01,200
once they plug everything in

871
00:32:01,579 --> 00:32:02,319
and turn

872
00:32:02,859 --> 00:32:06,059
the entire skid on, they're gonna, they're gonna

873
00:32:06,059 --> 00:32:07,819
notice that on the flow meter, it says,

874
00:32:07,819 --> 00:32:10,184
hey, we're doing a function check right now.

875
00:32:10,345 --> 00:32:12,265
What does that mean? That's ultimately what we

876
00:32:12,265 --> 00:32:13,485
call heartbeat technology,

877
00:32:13,865 --> 00:32:15,805
and that's doing some advanced diagnostics

878
00:32:16,105 --> 00:32:18,045
behind the scenes. And it's checking

879
00:32:18,745 --> 00:32:21,305
information like electronics in the bit in the

880
00:32:21,305 --> 00:32:22,684
base unit. It's checking,

881
00:32:23,545 --> 00:32:25,805
tubes, making sure the tubes are

882
00:32:26,179 --> 00:32:28,359
aligned and weren't damaged in shipping,

883
00:32:29,059 --> 00:32:32,179
and ensuring that the the factory calibration is

884
00:32:32,179 --> 00:32:34,660
still valid on the current device. So all

885
00:32:34,660 --> 00:32:36,179
of that is happening kind of behind the

886
00:32:36,179 --> 00:32:37,319
scenes before you,

887
00:32:37,859 --> 00:32:40,714
even start running product through it, to ensure

888
00:32:41,575 --> 00:32:43,194
that we are fully CGMP

889
00:32:43,734 --> 00:32:44,234
or,

890
00:32:45,015 --> 00:32:47,194
current good manufacturing practice

891
00:32:47,494 --> 00:32:48,154
and operation,

892
00:32:49,335 --> 00:32:50,634
on a production side.

893
00:32:51,815 --> 00:32:54,054
And that kind of maybe leans leads a

894
00:32:54,054 --> 00:32:54,795
little bit

895
00:32:55,109 --> 00:32:55,609
into,

896
00:32:55,990 --> 00:32:58,630
another product that we've recently released, which is

897
00:32:58,630 --> 00:33:01,049
our Anderson Hauser ProMASS k 10.

898
00:33:01,750 --> 00:33:05,029
It's the first Coriolis meter, in the world

899
00:33:05,029 --> 00:33:07,744
that has IO Link as an output. And

900
00:33:07,744 --> 00:33:10,305
now IO Link, I I think it's really

901
00:33:10,305 --> 00:33:12,225
important to start with a really good basis

902
00:33:12,225 --> 00:33:13,765
about what IO Link is,

903
00:33:14,144 --> 00:33:15,924
and IO Link is something

904
00:33:17,345 --> 00:33:20,005
I call it the three wire digital communication,

905
00:33:20,670 --> 00:33:23,390
but it it's not a 100% accurate. So

906
00:33:23,390 --> 00:33:24,990
we'll maybe dive into that a little bit

907
00:33:24,990 --> 00:33:27,090
and talk about what IO Link can do,

908
00:33:27,470 --> 00:33:28,690
and how it is,

909
00:33:29,710 --> 00:33:31,490
is being accepted in industries,

910
00:33:31,869 --> 00:33:34,590
specifically in farms, in in food and beverage

911
00:33:34,590 --> 00:33:35,250
and pharmaceutical

912
00:33:35,894 --> 00:33:36,394
industries.

913
00:33:37,414 --> 00:33:39,035
As a general rule of thumb,

914
00:33:39,414 --> 00:33:39,914
most

915
00:33:40,695 --> 00:33:43,035
large smart factories are using

916
00:33:43,575 --> 00:33:44,955
Ethernet based protocols.

917
00:33:45,575 --> 00:33:47,434
So that means that their their

918
00:33:47,859 --> 00:33:50,659
the devices that they have, the control system

919
00:33:50,659 --> 00:33:53,059
that they have is all digital, which means

920
00:33:53,059 --> 00:33:54,519
you can get a lot more data

921
00:33:54,819 --> 00:33:56,099
and get a lot of data. You can

922
00:33:56,099 --> 00:33:57,460
get so much data you have no idea

923
00:33:57,460 --> 00:33:58,359
what to do with.

924
00:33:59,139 --> 00:34:00,039
There's also,

925
00:34:01,055 --> 00:34:03,454
these Ethernet switches that are typically either remote

926
00:34:03,454 --> 00:34:05,775
Ethernet switches or switches that are out in

927
00:34:05,775 --> 00:34:06,674
the plant that,

928
00:34:07,214 --> 00:34:08,574
that are pulling in a lot of this

929
00:34:08,574 --> 00:34:10,034
data and then

930
00:34:11,054 --> 00:34:13,054
sending it up to whether it's their asset

931
00:34:13,054 --> 00:34:14,114
management system

932
00:34:14,494 --> 00:34:15,875
or a control system,

933
00:34:18,150 --> 00:34:20,789
and ultimately can give us the most amount

934
00:34:20,789 --> 00:34:21,530
of information

935
00:34:21,989 --> 00:34:23,449
about the health of the device,

936
00:34:23,989 --> 00:34:25,130
any sort of multivariable,

937
00:34:26,469 --> 00:34:28,150
values that we have coming out of the

938
00:34:28,150 --> 00:34:28,650
device.

939
00:34:29,285 --> 00:34:30,425
And then similarly,

940
00:34:31,445 --> 00:34:32,965
on the op on the right side here

941
00:34:32,965 --> 00:34:35,445
of this screen, you see an IO Link

942
00:34:35,445 --> 00:34:35,945
system.

943
00:34:36,644 --> 00:34:37,305
IO Link

944
00:34:37,925 --> 00:34:38,425
also

945
00:34:38,885 --> 00:34:40,985
does a very similar thing

946
00:34:41,285 --> 00:34:42,585
where you have a remote,

947
00:34:42,890 --> 00:34:45,610
what's called an IO Link master. It's connected

948
00:34:45,610 --> 00:34:46,670
to a flow meter

949
00:34:47,050 --> 00:34:49,369
or connected to a level switch or connected

950
00:34:49,369 --> 00:34:49,869
to,

951
00:34:50,329 --> 00:34:52,650
a temperature probe, and it pulls all that

952
00:34:52,650 --> 00:34:53,630
information in,

953
00:34:54,410 --> 00:34:56,349
and then it outputs that information

954
00:34:56,730 --> 00:34:58,925
back to their control system.

955
00:34:59,224 --> 00:35:01,625
And so historically, we've had a lot of

956
00:35:01,625 --> 00:35:03,324
Ethernet four wire devices,

957
00:35:03,704 --> 00:35:05,324
whether that's Ethernet IP,

958
00:35:05,704 --> 00:35:06,204
PROFINET,

959
00:35:07,224 --> 00:35:07,724
Modbus,

960
00:35:08,265 --> 00:35:10,344
any sort of digital heart as a as

961
00:35:10,344 --> 00:35:11,485
an option as well.

962
00:35:12,369 --> 00:35:15,329
That's historically been where our Ethernet four wire

963
00:35:15,329 --> 00:35:17,750
and two wire devices come from.

964
00:35:18,690 --> 00:35:21,090
Now IO Link hasn't really been a focus

965
00:35:21,090 --> 00:35:24,574
for us, but because of our our

966
00:35:25,835 --> 00:35:28,414
diversity in different industries, we've had to

967
00:35:28,795 --> 00:35:30,974
look at IO Link as a feasible,

968
00:35:31,434 --> 00:35:34,734
cost efficient choice for basic process needs

969
00:35:35,114 --> 00:35:38,400
in under in in flow meters, in pressure

970
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,099
transmitters, in a lot of devices,

971
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:42,079
and a lot of a lot of different

972
00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:42,579
applications.

973
00:35:43,679 --> 00:35:46,319
And so there's some benefits and pros and

974
00:35:46,319 --> 00:35:47,219
cons to both.

975
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,420
Ethernet, you have a lot of

976
00:35:50,875 --> 00:35:51,855
process devices

977
00:35:52,155 --> 00:35:54,494
versus simple simple measurement points.

978
00:35:54,954 --> 00:35:55,454
The,

979
00:35:56,075 --> 00:35:58,075
the IO Link, you have a specific range

980
00:35:58,075 --> 00:35:59,375
in terms of distances.

981
00:35:59,835 --> 00:36:02,315
That's only about 60 feet, which means it's

982
00:36:02,315 --> 00:36:04,335
really, really good for those skid solutions,

983
00:36:05,159 --> 00:36:07,639
that are put out in into many, many

984
00:36:07,639 --> 00:36:08,940
factories and especially

985
00:36:09,319 --> 00:36:10,539
especially in food and beverage.

986
00:36:11,319 --> 00:36:13,880
The IO Link masters are really where the

987
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,019
integration happens.

988
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,875
And then the data that's recorded and aggregated

989
00:36:19,175 --> 00:36:22,054
is happening inside that IO Link master where

990
00:36:22,054 --> 00:36:22,554
typically

991
00:36:23,014 --> 00:36:23,675
on a,

992
00:36:23,974 --> 00:36:26,554
Ethernet based system, you all have full transparency

993
00:36:27,255 --> 00:36:27,755
from,

994
00:36:28,614 --> 00:36:30,934
device level all the way up to your

995
00:36:30,934 --> 00:36:33,034
your control system, DCS system,

996
00:36:34,409 --> 00:36:37,389
throughout and anywhere throughout that system as well.

997
00:36:37,849 --> 00:36:39,690
There is uses for both even in the

998
00:36:39,690 --> 00:36:42,089
same plants. There's uses for both in in

999
00:36:42,089 --> 00:36:43,070
similar applications,

1000
00:36:44,409 --> 00:36:46,170
but I I think one of the benefits

1001
00:36:46,170 --> 00:36:46,670
is

1002
00:36:47,094 --> 00:36:47,994
being the first,

1003
00:36:48,695 --> 00:36:49,675
Coriolis manufacturer

1004
00:36:50,055 --> 00:36:52,295
to have a IO Link device. What does

1005
00:36:52,295 --> 00:36:54,454
that mean? Really, what it means is we

1006
00:36:54,454 --> 00:36:56,535
can get some very good data, not all

1007
00:36:56,535 --> 00:36:58,375
the data, but in many cases, we don't

1008
00:36:58,375 --> 00:36:59,515
need all of the data,

1009
00:36:59,974 --> 00:37:01,755
and we can be super accurate,

1010
00:37:03,469 --> 00:37:06,449
extremely fast in terms of data data transmission,

1011
00:37:07,230 --> 00:37:07,730
and,

1012
00:37:08,429 --> 00:37:10,429
make things a little easier in terms of

1013
00:37:10,429 --> 00:37:11,889
of integration and installation

1014
00:37:12,589 --> 00:37:13,329
of the devices.

1015
00:37:14,510 --> 00:37:15,945
So typically what a

1016
00:37:16,425 --> 00:37:18,824
a system or a subsystem might look like

1017
00:37:18,824 --> 00:37:21,065
with IO Link, you have your IO Link

1018
00:37:21,065 --> 00:37:22,684
master, that's where power is

1019
00:37:22,985 --> 00:37:24,125
is brought to,

1020
00:37:25,465 --> 00:37:28,344
and it's also where our connection to that

1021
00:37:28,344 --> 00:37:28,844
overarching

1022
00:37:29,224 --> 00:37:32,319
enterprise system or DCS system is. So that

1023
00:37:32,319 --> 00:37:34,159
IO Link master is a must. You have

1024
00:37:34,159 --> 00:37:34,900
to have that.

1025
00:37:35,199 --> 00:37:36,799
You also have to have a flow meter

1026
00:37:36,799 --> 00:37:39,280
that is or any device that is capable

1027
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,099
of outputting

1028
00:37:40,559 --> 00:37:42,099
in an IO Link protocol,

1029
00:37:43,119 --> 00:37:45,059
in an IO Link communication method.

1030
00:37:45,545 --> 00:37:47,945
And then there's a specific three wire cable

1031
00:37:47,945 --> 00:37:49,164
that goes from the device

1032
00:37:49,465 --> 00:37:50,285
to the master.

1033
00:37:50,985 --> 00:37:53,565
And there this is the often overlooked thing,

1034
00:37:53,625 --> 00:37:54,765
but it's an IODD.

1035
00:37:55,065 --> 00:37:56,925
Essentially what that means is it's an

1036
00:37:57,305 --> 00:37:59,164
IO Link device driver.

1037
00:37:59,599 --> 00:38:02,480
So that device driver is gonna tell the

1038
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:03,619
IO link master

1039
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:08,500
what and how is this device sending information

1040
00:38:08,559 --> 00:38:09,219
to me.

1041
00:38:09,599 --> 00:38:10,099
So

1042
00:38:10,559 --> 00:38:12,420
it's almost like a little roadmap

1043
00:38:13,005 --> 00:38:15,484
for the IO Link master to understand what's

1044
00:38:15,484 --> 00:38:15,984
happening

1045
00:38:16,364 --> 00:38:18,684
on the on the base the base level

1046
00:38:18,684 --> 00:38:19,184
of,

1047
00:38:19,565 --> 00:38:20,944
of that IO Link device.

1048
00:38:21,964 --> 00:38:23,804
Ultimately, these are the four things to have

1049
00:38:23,885 --> 00:38:26,944
that you have to have for, basic subsystem

1050
00:38:27,085 --> 00:38:27,585
components.

1051
00:38:27,969 --> 00:38:28,710
And then,

1052
00:38:29,329 --> 00:38:31,489
as you start integrating it to into an

1053
00:38:31,489 --> 00:38:33,730
overarching system, there's a little bit more that

1054
00:38:33,730 --> 00:38:35,489
would be needed as well, but this will

1055
00:38:35,489 --> 00:38:36,710
at least get you started,

1056
00:38:37,250 --> 00:38:40,050
and understanding kind of why there's IO Link

1057
00:38:40,050 --> 00:38:40,550
masters,

1058
00:38:41,655 --> 00:38:44,795
and why there's IO Link protocols and technology

1059
00:38:44,934 --> 00:38:45,914
in the first place.

1060
00:38:46,775 --> 00:38:47,275
So

1061
00:38:47,894 --> 00:38:50,474
again, this is our Coriolis k 10,

1062
00:38:51,094 --> 00:38:53,414
with our IO Link master. It's a line

1063
00:38:53,414 --> 00:38:55,015
size three eighths of an inch all the

1064
00:38:55,015 --> 00:38:56,340
way up to three inch.

1065
00:38:58,340 --> 00:39:00,680
It also has what we call heartbeat technology.

1066
00:39:00,820 --> 00:39:01,559
It has,

1067
00:39:03,460 --> 00:39:05,160
three a. It has all of our,

1068
00:39:06,340 --> 00:39:07,960
approvals for hygienic

1069
00:39:08,545 --> 00:39:11,204
applications, for food and beverage applications, for pharmaceutical

1070
00:39:11,505 --> 00:39:12,644
applications as well,

1071
00:39:13,344 --> 00:39:15,844
and gives us a little bit more flexibility

1072
00:39:16,545 --> 00:39:17,525
in terms of

1073
00:39:17,824 --> 00:39:19,844
what we can offer our customers

1074
00:39:20,385 --> 00:39:20,880
that

1075
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:23,119
will meet the need of where they're at,

1076
00:39:23,119 --> 00:39:25,380
but also prepare them for for future,

1077
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:26,960
expansions and,

1078
00:39:28,319 --> 00:39:28,819
and

1079
00:39:29,119 --> 00:39:30,819
and large scale DCS

1080
00:39:31,199 --> 00:39:33,460
turnarounds and things like that. So,

1081
00:39:35,255 --> 00:39:36,075
there is

1082
00:39:36,535 --> 00:39:38,855
a couple of things here, mass flow as

1083
00:39:38,855 --> 00:39:40,235
a standard with density,

1084
00:39:40,535 --> 00:39:41,035
temperature,

1085
00:39:41,414 --> 00:39:43,494
and you get a standard totalizer one as

1086
00:39:43,494 --> 00:39:44,155
an output.

1087
00:39:46,454 --> 00:39:47,275
There is,

1088
00:39:47,575 --> 00:39:49,195
again, food contact materials,

1089
00:39:49,869 --> 00:39:53,309
eHedge three a, all hygienic process connections as

1090
00:39:53,309 --> 00:39:55,010
well as standard process connections,

1091
00:39:56,190 --> 00:39:58,590
available with this device. And then one other

1092
00:39:58,590 --> 00:40:01,329
key factor here is when we're in actually

1093
00:40:01,389 --> 00:40:03,309
interacting with this device, there's a couple of

1094
00:40:03,309 --> 00:40:05,224
ways we can interact with it. We can,

1095
00:40:05,224 --> 00:40:07,065
of course, use a a touch screen. We

1096
00:40:07,065 --> 00:40:08,045
can push the device

1097
00:40:08,344 --> 00:40:10,025
and and be right in front of it.

1098
00:40:10,025 --> 00:40:12,344
There's also a method for using a free

1099
00:40:12,344 --> 00:40:14,985
app that we have on on the Android

1100
00:40:14,985 --> 00:40:17,324
store and the Apple Apple Store.

1101
00:40:17,784 --> 00:40:18,844
That's called SmartBlue.

1102
00:40:19,569 --> 00:40:21,650
That's available for a lot of different devices,

1103
00:40:21,650 --> 00:40:24,230
but it is using a Bluetooth technology to,

1104
00:40:24,609 --> 00:40:26,230
tap into the device and configure,

1105
00:40:26,929 --> 00:40:27,429
everything.

1106
00:40:27,809 --> 00:40:30,150
And then the other option is using a,

1107
00:40:30,690 --> 00:40:31,829
a device manager,

1108
00:40:32,724 --> 00:40:35,125
with a CDI port that's built inside the

1109
00:40:35,125 --> 00:40:38,005
transmitter as well. So all different ways to

1110
00:40:38,005 --> 00:40:39,545
to interact with the same device,

1111
00:40:40,484 --> 00:40:40,984
even,

1112
00:40:41,925 --> 00:40:44,164
interacting with it using IO Link is possible

1113
00:40:44,164 --> 00:40:46,264
as well. So a lot of different functionalities,

1114
00:40:46,484 --> 00:40:47,385
a lot of different,

1115
00:40:47,940 --> 00:40:50,260
options, so we can meet the needs where

1116
00:40:50,739 --> 00:40:52,900
meet the customers where their needs are, and

1117
00:40:52,900 --> 00:40:54,980
then also where their they wanna get get

1118
00:40:54,980 --> 00:40:55,480
to.

1119
00:40:57,619 --> 00:40:59,380
So that kind of takes us into what

1120
00:40:59,380 --> 00:41:02,355
heartbeat technology is. And we actually we talk

1121
00:41:02,355 --> 00:41:04,914
about heartbeat technology as a story because I

1122
00:41:04,914 --> 00:41:06,454
think if we start talking about

1123
00:41:07,315 --> 00:41:08,994
what it is before we talk about the

1124
00:41:08,994 --> 00:41:09,715
story, it's,

1125
00:41:10,275 --> 00:41:10,775
it's

1126
00:41:11,635 --> 00:41:13,315
it's it's hard to to wrap your head

1127
00:41:13,315 --> 00:41:15,480
around. There's a lot going into it. And

1128
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:18,139
part of that that discussion really starts with

1129
00:41:18,199 --> 00:41:20,280
a a marketing phrase, which is called taking

1130
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,360
the pulse of your measurement. And what that

1131
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,820
really does is

1132
00:41:24,199 --> 00:41:26,599
is it's trying to understand how the device

1133
00:41:26,599 --> 00:41:27,739
is operating currently,

1134
00:41:28,235 --> 00:41:30,155
and how the device may be operating in

1135
00:41:30,155 --> 00:41:30,815
the future

1136
00:41:31,434 --> 00:41:32,815
based on current conditions.

1137
00:41:33,515 --> 00:41:36,635
And so all all of that is is

1138
00:41:36,635 --> 00:41:38,335
started with what our customers

1139
00:41:38,715 --> 00:41:41,010
expect out of a flow meter, expect out

1140
00:41:41,010 --> 00:41:43,410
of a pressure transmitter, expect out of a

1141
00:41:43,410 --> 00:41:44,309
pH probe.

1142
00:41:45,250 --> 00:41:47,489
All of our customers' needs and our users'

1143
00:41:47,489 --> 00:41:48,469
needs are expanding.

1144
00:41:48,769 --> 00:41:50,929
So not only do they need excellent measurement

1145
00:41:50,929 --> 00:41:52,469
performance from a device,

1146
00:41:52,769 --> 00:41:54,554
they also need a reliable device.

1147
00:41:55,194 --> 00:41:56,954
I I need to know when something's going

1148
00:41:56,954 --> 00:41:57,454
wrong.

1149
00:41:58,315 --> 00:42:00,714
They also wanna be available. If the device

1150
00:42:00,714 --> 00:42:02,574
itself isn't always available,

1151
00:42:03,994 --> 00:42:06,554
they can't trust it. We want our customers

1152
00:42:06,554 --> 00:42:08,234
to not only trust our device, but trust

1153
00:42:08,234 --> 00:42:10,260
the measurement performance that they're getting out of

1154
00:42:10,260 --> 00:42:10,920
the device.

1155
00:42:11,460 --> 00:42:12,900
And they also want it easy to easy

1156
00:42:12,900 --> 00:42:15,139
to use. As we've seen in a lot

1157
00:42:15,139 --> 00:42:15,800
of industries,

1158
00:42:16,820 --> 00:42:17,320
the,

1159
00:42:18,260 --> 00:42:21,059
the operations teams, the operators that are on

1160
00:42:21,059 --> 00:42:22,199
on the plant floor

1161
00:42:22,594 --> 00:42:23,974
are getting less and less,

1162
00:42:24,355 --> 00:42:26,295
and maybe they're moving more towards engineering.

1163
00:42:27,074 --> 00:42:29,335
But there are a lot of plants that

1164
00:42:30,034 --> 00:42:33,554
are running extremely lean. And so running lean

1165
00:42:33,554 --> 00:42:35,789
means they have to run efficiently and they

1166
00:42:35,789 --> 00:42:36,769
have to run effectively.

1167
00:42:37,070 --> 00:42:39,070
And if our devices are not easy to

1168
00:42:39,070 --> 00:42:40,690
use and easy to understand,

1169
00:42:41,469 --> 00:42:43,390
we're we're kind of failing at at that

1170
00:42:43,390 --> 00:42:45,390
point. So we also wanna make sure our

1171
00:42:45,390 --> 00:42:47,390
devices are safe. We wanna make sure our

1172
00:42:47,390 --> 00:42:48,610
devices are predictive,

1173
00:42:49,045 --> 00:42:51,065
and we wanna make sure our devices potentially

1174
00:42:51,125 --> 00:42:52,105
can be connected

1175
00:42:52,565 --> 00:42:53,385
in the future.

1176
00:42:53,764 --> 00:42:56,324
And so all of those together is now

1177
00:42:56,324 --> 00:42:58,324
now we've got a difficult puzzle we've gotta

1178
00:42:58,324 --> 00:42:59,144
try and solve,

1179
00:42:59,684 --> 00:43:01,864
with any one of our measurement devices.

1180
00:43:02,630 --> 00:43:05,289
And that's where we think kinda heartbeat technology

1181
00:43:05,430 --> 00:43:07,510
meets a lot of those needs and bridges

1182
00:43:07,510 --> 00:43:08,570
the gap between,

1183
00:43:10,230 --> 00:43:12,869
the excellent measurement performance and and all of

1184
00:43:12,869 --> 00:43:14,744
these, needs that we have.

1185
00:43:15,385 --> 00:43:17,785
So we split heartbeat technology into kind of

1186
00:43:17,785 --> 00:43:18,684
three categories.

1187
00:43:19,144 --> 00:43:21,005
We have diagnostics, which is,

1188
00:43:22,265 --> 00:43:22,765
current,

1189
00:43:23,865 --> 00:43:26,525
current status, current device diagnostics,

1190
00:43:27,144 --> 00:43:30,339
advanced diagnostics. That's the basis of everything. So

1191
00:43:30,339 --> 00:43:31,880
if we don't have a good basis

1192
00:43:32,179 --> 00:43:33,079
of diagnostics,

1193
00:43:33,539 --> 00:43:34,760
we can't do verification.

1194
00:43:35,139 --> 00:43:37,780
We can't do monitoring. We can't provide in,

1195
00:43:38,739 --> 00:43:39,239
improved

1196
00:43:39,699 --> 00:43:40,679
process insights,

1197
00:43:42,819 --> 00:43:44,500
very effectively if we don't have a good

1198
00:43:44,500 --> 00:43:47,405
base unit. So that happens from that happens

1199
00:43:47,405 --> 00:43:49,184
from the the design of our devices

1200
00:43:50,204 --> 00:43:51,804
all the way down to the raw components

1201
00:43:51,804 --> 00:43:53,405
that go into all of the devices as

1202
00:43:53,405 --> 00:43:53,905
well.

1203
00:43:54,204 --> 00:43:56,925
And then verification is kind of a what's

1204
00:43:56,925 --> 00:43:59,309
happening to my device right now, and can

1205
00:43:59,309 --> 00:44:01,150
you give me a PDF printout of what

1206
00:44:01,150 --> 00:44:02,050
that looks like.

1207
00:44:02,989 --> 00:44:05,390
So that's that's part of the verification. And

1208
00:44:05,390 --> 00:44:06,769
then again, monitoring

1209
00:44:07,309 --> 00:44:09,869
how we look at certain values over time

1210
00:44:09,950 --> 00:44:12,855
trended over time, so we can start understanding,

1211
00:44:14,595 --> 00:44:15,095
predictively

1212
00:44:15,795 --> 00:44:19,075
when certain process conditions or process upsets may

1213
00:44:19,075 --> 00:44:20,914
happen or could happen, and how will they

1214
00:44:20,914 --> 00:44:21,894
affect our measurements.

1215
00:44:22,835 --> 00:44:24,295
So all of that together

1216
00:44:24,670 --> 00:44:28,030
is really bridged on the diagnostic coverage. It's

1217
00:44:28,030 --> 00:44:30,610
based around how we can detect our,

1218
00:44:31,230 --> 00:44:31,730
any

1219
00:44:32,190 --> 00:44:33,969
alarms, alerts, failures,

1220
00:44:35,389 --> 00:44:37,469
things that happen inside the device that weren't

1221
00:44:37,469 --> 00:44:37,969
expected.

1222
00:44:38,829 --> 00:44:40,369
All of that needs to be,

1223
00:44:41,364 --> 00:44:42,664
really, really important.

1224
00:44:42,965 --> 00:44:46,025
And so our IO modules, our sensor electronic

1225
00:44:46,164 --> 00:44:47,465
modules, our sensor,

1226
00:44:48,164 --> 00:44:49,945
inlet and outlet pickup coils,

1227
00:44:50,405 --> 00:44:51,845
and our divi our ex

1228
00:44:52,325 --> 00:44:53,545
the entire excitation

1229
00:44:53,925 --> 00:44:56,199
system that's happening inside of a of a

1230
00:44:56,199 --> 00:44:57,179
Coriolis meter,

1231
00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:57,980
all

1232
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:00,679
are really, really important to understand the health

1233
00:45:00,679 --> 00:45:02,460
of the device. If we can understand

1234
00:45:02,920 --> 00:45:05,179
the health of individual components of the device,

1235
00:45:06,119 --> 00:45:08,280
we can try and better understand the health

1236
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:09,980
of the entire device as a whole.

1237
00:45:10,464 --> 00:45:12,464
Kind of the sum of, sum of equal

1238
00:45:12,464 --> 00:45:12,964
parts

1239
00:45:13,425 --> 00:45:15,585
or the sum of parts is is greater

1240
00:45:15,585 --> 00:45:18,304
than the than the sum of the the

1241
00:45:18,304 --> 00:45:19,525
system. So,

1242
00:45:20,385 --> 00:45:22,644
that's ultimately what we're trying to do here.

1243
00:45:23,344 --> 00:45:23,844
And

1244
00:45:24,380 --> 00:45:26,880
what that means is that this value,

1245
00:45:27,420 --> 00:45:29,360
the heartbeat sensor integrity parameter

1246
00:45:30,059 --> 00:45:32,380
is always generated and can be used as

1247
00:45:32,380 --> 00:45:32,880
a

1248
00:45:33,260 --> 00:45:33,760
direct

1249
00:45:34,059 --> 00:45:34,559
value

1250
00:45:34,940 --> 00:45:35,440
for,

1251
00:45:36,699 --> 00:45:37,199
understanding

1252
00:45:37,500 --> 00:45:39,039
process related concerns

1253
00:45:39,675 --> 00:45:41,215
as well as meter concerns.

1254
00:45:41,594 --> 00:45:43,695
So in a similar way, we talked about,

1255
00:45:45,114 --> 00:45:47,994
oscillation modes with our PROMAS Q, with our

1256
00:45:47,994 --> 00:45:49,055
PROMAS I,

1257
00:45:49,594 --> 00:45:52,280
and other flow meters as well. The

1258
00:45:52,739 --> 00:45:55,780
frequency or the oscillation frequency that we're actually

1259
00:45:55,780 --> 00:45:58,039
doing for this HBSI value is

1260
00:45:58,579 --> 00:46:01,719
a fixed diff distance from that frequency.

1261
00:46:02,179 --> 00:46:04,835
And so at any one time, we're we're

1262
00:46:04,835 --> 00:46:06,534
oscillating these tubes at

1263
00:46:06,994 --> 00:46:08,534
one, two, almost,

1264
00:46:09,155 --> 00:46:12,355
three every, three different frequencies every time. And

1265
00:46:12,355 --> 00:46:14,674
so the part of this this parameter is

1266
00:46:14,674 --> 00:46:17,014
ultimately giving us a little bit more

1267
00:46:18,519 --> 00:46:19,019
information

1268
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:21,179
related to the health of the sensors,

1269
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:22,460
related to,

1270
00:46:23,559 --> 00:46:25,480
even the health of the process as well.

1271
00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:26,920
And we'll talk about a couple of use

1272
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,460
cases on on how that,

1273
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:31,019
and what that means, and and can ultimately

1274
00:46:31,319 --> 00:46:32,299
mean for you.

1275
00:46:33,775 --> 00:46:35,534
So as a general rule of thumb, when

1276
00:46:35,534 --> 00:46:36,275
we calibrate

1277
00:46:37,135 --> 00:46:38,914
and design a new sensor,

1278
00:46:39,295 --> 00:46:40,835
our HBSI value,

1279
00:46:41,534 --> 00:46:43,135
is 0%

1280
00:46:43,135 --> 00:46:45,695
at reference conditions, and that may fluctuate depending

1281
00:46:45,695 --> 00:46:47,855
on if you're operating at reference conditions or

1282
00:46:47,855 --> 00:46:48,355
not.

1283
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:51,660
But right around zero, it could be negative

1284
00:46:52,440 --> 00:46:54,700
point one to positive point one,

1285
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:57,800
percent, but there's no no cause kind of

1286
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,800
for concern there. We do have kind of

1287
00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:02,039
a stated bandwidth in which we expect the

1288
00:47:02,039 --> 00:47:03,260
flow meter to operate

1289
00:47:03,664 --> 00:47:06,144
well within its its factory calibration and well

1290
00:47:06,144 --> 00:47:07,204
within its specification.

1291
00:47:09,264 --> 00:47:10,804
But if that value

1292
00:47:11,344 --> 00:47:11,844
shows

1293
00:47:12,304 --> 00:47:13,364
very, very low,

1294
00:47:13,984 --> 00:47:16,224
or values, like, right around zero as a

1295
00:47:16,224 --> 00:47:20,329
reference condition, your HBSI value is related directly

1296
00:47:20,329 --> 00:47:23,289
to sensor components that aren't affected. So if

1297
00:47:23,289 --> 00:47:23,789
our

1298
00:47:24,170 --> 00:47:25,230
exciter current,

1299
00:47:25,690 --> 00:47:28,349
if our pickup coils, if our,

1300
00:47:29,050 --> 00:47:30,990
sensor tubes are not damaged,

1301
00:47:31,454 --> 00:47:34,175
likely that HBSI value is going to remain

1302
00:47:34,175 --> 00:47:36,575
at zero or right around zero. Now when

1303
00:47:36,575 --> 00:47:38,914
we do have something like a wear mechanism,

1304
00:47:39,055 --> 00:47:42,195
something like corrosion or erosion or abrasion

1305
00:47:42,815 --> 00:47:44,035
inside the tubes,

1306
00:47:44,420 --> 00:47:46,900
ultimately, there's things that are going to be

1307
00:47:46,900 --> 00:47:48,900
affected by that. Now how do we actually

1308
00:47:48,900 --> 00:47:50,519
detect that? Well, that's where

1309
00:47:50,820 --> 00:47:53,640
using this HBSI value, we can actually understand

1310
00:47:54,180 --> 00:47:57,445
individual components of the the flow meter, individual,

1311
00:47:59,184 --> 00:48:02,085
components like the sensor tubes.

1312
00:48:02,945 --> 00:48:03,764
For example,

1313
00:48:04,625 --> 00:48:06,804
if we were to have a corrosion instance,

1314
00:48:07,105 --> 00:48:09,764
your wall thickness of the tubes would change.

1315
00:48:10,119 --> 00:48:12,280
And so what what would happen there is

1316
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:13,900
as we start oscillating these

1317
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:15,980
tubes, you would start to see that value

1318
00:48:16,519 --> 00:48:18,619
increase because your tubes

1319
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:20,839
are moving moving more and more and more

1320
00:48:20,839 --> 00:48:23,000
because we're oscillating at the same frequency or

1321
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,619
at the at the same frequency,

1322
00:48:25,079 --> 00:48:25,485
but

1323
00:48:26,045 --> 00:48:27,965
the tubes is not our tubes are not

1324
00:48:27,965 --> 00:48:29,985
as heavy. Right? So,

1325
00:48:30,845 --> 00:48:31,825
that's where that

1326
00:48:32,364 --> 00:48:35,724
that HBSI value can give us information related

1327
00:48:35,724 --> 00:48:36,224
to,

1328
00:48:36,845 --> 00:48:38,445
kind of the health of all of our

1329
00:48:38,445 --> 00:48:40,990
devices or all of our our components within

1330
00:48:40,990 --> 00:48:41,650
the device.

1331
00:48:43,710 --> 00:48:46,289
So there's multiple ways to observe that HBSI

1332
00:48:46,349 --> 00:48:48,269
value, and this is where trending comes into

1333
00:48:48,269 --> 00:48:48,750
play,

1334
00:48:49,230 --> 00:48:51,170
looking at something and trying to be predictive

1335
00:48:51,230 --> 00:48:51,890
and preventative,

1336
00:48:52,670 --> 00:48:53,809
in the long term.

1337
00:48:55,054 --> 00:48:56,434
There's no process interruption.

1338
00:48:57,135 --> 00:49:00,194
This this entire thing happens. This entire,

1339
00:49:00,734 --> 00:49:02,514
HBSI value is generated,

1340
00:49:03,295 --> 00:49:05,074
automatically by the device itself.

1341
00:49:06,500 --> 00:49:10,440
It remained the measurement remains completely available, continuously

1342
00:49:10,739 --> 00:49:12,980
available, and it happens in situ behind the

1343
00:49:12,980 --> 00:49:14,119
scenes, if you will,

1344
00:49:14,420 --> 00:49:16,359
of a of your measurement.

1345
00:49:17,219 --> 00:49:18,839
And then you're gonna improve

1346
00:49:19,994 --> 00:49:23,275
efficiency, obviously, and and reduce risk if you

1347
00:49:23,275 --> 00:49:23,775
understand

1348
00:49:24,155 --> 00:49:26,234
what's happening and what's going on inside the

1349
00:49:26,234 --> 00:49:29,355
flow meter without you actually visually seeing what's

1350
00:49:29,355 --> 00:49:30,574
happening to the device.

1351
00:49:30,875 --> 00:49:31,375
So,

1352
00:49:31,994 --> 00:49:33,214
all of that to say,

1353
00:49:34,500 --> 00:49:36,199
there's a lot of ways to observe it,

1354
00:49:36,739 --> 00:49:39,079
but there is also important ways,

1355
00:49:39,539 --> 00:49:41,480
that we can use it. So,

1356
00:49:42,179 --> 00:49:45,140
yes, knowing that the HVSI value is zero

1357
00:49:45,140 --> 00:49:47,619
is just that's great. That's awesome. But what

1358
00:49:47,619 --> 00:49:49,974
does that ultimately mean? And here's a couple

1359
00:49:49,974 --> 00:49:51,815
of examples. Here's a couple of use cases.

1360
00:49:51,815 --> 00:49:53,034
So we've had an application,

1361
00:49:53,574 --> 00:49:54,715
in the past where,

1362
00:49:55,094 --> 00:49:57,114
it was an abrasive fine slurry.

1363
00:49:57,494 --> 00:50:00,054
And so anytime you have abrasive fine slurries,

1364
00:50:00,054 --> 00:50:02,875
you have to be extra cautious of using

1365
00:50:03,014 --> 00:50:03,835
bent tubes,

1366
00:50:05,659 --> 00:50:06,159
and

1367
00:50:06,460 --> 00:50:08,779
also the velocities in which you're flowing those

1368
00:50:08,779 --> 00:50:11,279
those those processes through there.

1369
00:50:12,380 --> 00:50:14,779
So the initial one, they had was a

1370
00:50:14,779 --> 00:50:16,940
dual bent tube that failed six months in

1371
00:50:16,940 --> 00:50:17,519
the service,

1372
00:50:18,005 --> 00:50:19,925
and they replaced it with a single straight

1373
00:50:19,925 --> 00:50:20,425
tube.

1374
00:50:20,805 --> 00:50:22,105
So they expected

1375
00:50:22,805 --> 00:50:24,824
to see some abrasion, but

1376
00:50:25,204 --> 00:50:27,364
because of the design of the flow meter,

1377
00:50:27,525 --> 00:50:30,344
that HBSI parameter was taken over time,

1378
00:50:30,789 --> 00:50:33,190
and it's been installed for for four years

1379
00:50:33,190 --> 00:50:36,010
now and shows a relatively flat line behavior

1380
00:50:36,069 --> 00:50:38,630
for the the HBSI value, meaning there's no

1381
00:50:38,630 --> 00:50:41,449
wear mechanism going on inside that device,

1382
00:50:41,750 --> 00:50:43,130
be because of the process.

1383
00:50:43,429 --> 00:50:45,875
So that's a that's a use case there.

1384
00:50:46,414 --> 00:50:47,934
Another use case that that we talk about

1385
00:50:47,934 --> 00:50:50,835
a lot is is the presence of abrasion

1386
00:50:50,894 --> 00:50:53,394
in general. We know that in some applications,

1387
00:50:53,454 --> 00:50:54,994
there is going to be abrasion.

1388
00:50:55,535 --> 00:50:58,335
And that's on us as the manufacturer, that's

1389
00:50:58,335 --> 00:51:01,239
also on, the customer to understand what their

1390
00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,119
levels and limits are, and are capable of

1391
00:51:04,119 --> 00:51:04,619
handling.

1392
00:51:05,159 --> 00:51:05,659
And

1393
00:51:06,039 --> 00:51:08,119
if they don't know, that's that's where we

1394
00:51:08,119 --> 00:51:09,799
we should probably step back and say, hey,

1395
00:51:09,799 --> 00:51:11,719
let's let's talk about this as a as

1396
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:13,400
a at a high level. What happens when

1397
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,835
something goes wrong? Do you just automatically remove

1398
00:51:15,835 --> 00:51:18,235
the device? Is it are you down in

1399
00:51:18,235 --> 00:51:18,974
terms of,

1400
00:51:19,835 --> 00:51:21,775
not being able to produce properly?

1401
00:51:22,075 --> 00:51:23,135
Things like that.

1402
00:51:23,755 --> 00:51:25,775
And that's where in this case we used,

1403
00:51:26,315 --> 00:51:27,695
kind of predictive maintenance

1404
00:51:28,315 --> 00:51:28,815
every

1405
00:51:29,219 --> 00:51:31,940
ten, twelve, fifteen, eighteen months. We know we

1406
00:51:31,940 --> 00:51:34,019
have to replace this device because of the

1407
00:51:34,019 --> 00:51:34,519
abrasion,

1408
00:51:34,820 --> 00:51:36,679
or we have to decrease our velocity,

1409
00:51:37,300 --> 00:51:38,199
through the meter.

1410
00:51:39,059 --> 00:51:41,780
So either way, that's ultimately this use case

1411
00:51:41,780 --> 00:51:44,744
and showing showing that there is a wear

1412
00:51:44,744 --> 00:51:45,885
mechanism happening,

1413
00:51:46,184 --> 00:51:48,425
and we need to understand at what point

1414
00:51:48,425 --> 00:51:50,525
do we need to start replacing these devices.

1415
00:51:51,864 --> 00:51:52,605
And lastly,

1416
00:51:53,385 --> 00:51:56,445
here's one that was an unexpected wear mechanism.

1417
00:51:56,585 --> 00:51:57,085
So

1418
00:51:57,410 --> 00:51:59,829
customer used a Coriolis flow meter,

1419
00:52:00,210 --> 00:52:01,110
and for

1420
00:52:01,489 --> 00:52:05,090
five days, everything was great. No worries. Everything

1421
00:52:05,090 --> 00:52:07,969
was totally fine. Customer didn't expect anything to

1422
00:52:07,969 --> 00:52:10,630
be wrong, which is exactly what was shown.

1423
00:52:11,184 --> 00:52:13,204
And then once they did a cleaning cycle

1424
00:52:13,505 --> 00:52:15,924
with a new product a new cleaning product,

1425
00:52:16,304 --> 00:52:18,644
they noticed that this value increased.

1426
00:52:19,344 --> 00:52:21,744
And so over time, I mean, think about

1427
00:52:21,744 --> 00:52:23,364
twenty five days, you're increasing

1428
00:52:24,510 --> 00:52:27,710
your HBSI value because you're performing your regular

1429
00:52:27,710 --> 00:52:30,289
scheduled cleaning. Well, that wasn't understood,

1430
00:52:30,590 --> 00:52:31,410
and that wasn't,

1431
00:52:31,789 --> 00:52:33,550
that didn't the the customer didn't know that

1432
00:52:33,550 --> 00:52:35,070
was going to affect things. We didn't know

1433
00:52:35,070 --> 00:52:36,590
that was going to affect things, but this

1434
00:52:36,590 --> 00:52:39,554
ultimately shined light on, here's what's happening.

1435
00:52:39,934 --> 00:52:41,795
Now can we change cleaners,

1436
00:52:42,094 --> 00:52:42,594
or

1437
00:52:43,054 --> 00:52:45,535
can we use a material that's more compatible

1438
00:52:45,535 --> 00:52:46,434
with that cleaner,

1439
00:52:46,815 --> 00:52:49,554
or can we just live with the the,

1440
00:52:50,574 --> 00:52:51,715
the risk that

1441
00:52:52,070 --> 00:52:52,570
the

1442
00:52:52,949 --> 00:52:55,030
the values will last long enough for us

1443
00:52:55,030 --> 00:52:57,269
to get really, really good good data, and

1444
00:52:57,269 --> 00:52:58,230
then we can,

1445
00:52:58,630 --> 00:53:00,710
and look at replacing it, things like that.

1446
00:53:00,710 --> 00:53:02,250
So this was another,

1447
00:53:02,550 --> 00:53:05,670
application where we weren't expecting to see any

1448
00:53:05,670 --> 00:53:07,724
sort of drift, but we did because

1449
00:53:08,204 --> 00:53:11,345
of, the the wear mechanism that that wasn't,

1450
00:53:11,805 --> 00:53:14,045
very well known or or present at at

1451
00:53:14,045 --> 00:53:14,704
the time.

1452
00:53:15,485 --> 00:53:18,605
So, ultimately, I think, you know, using,

1453
00:53:19,005 --> 00:53:21,345
something like heartbeat technology as a,

1454
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,640
a confidence boots booster in your measurement is

1455
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:26,559
is really the the key there. Because I

1456
00:53:26,559 --> 00:53:27,059
think

1457
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,920
the more that we can increase confidence in

1458
00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:31,940
our measurements, the more that our customers,

1459
00:53:33,039 --> 00:53:33,539
will

1460
00:53:34,720 --> 00:53:37,220
continue to want to to work with us

1461
00:53:37,405 --> 00:53:39,905
and collaborate with us on on applications

1462
00:53:40,285 --> 00:53:41,425
and and talk,

1463
00:53:41,885 --> 00:53:42,385
about,

1464
00:53:43,164 --> 00:53:43,664
different,

1465
00:53:44,525 --> 00:53:47,644
industry applications and things like that. As as

1466
00:53:47,644 --> 00:53:51,164
the working for a manufacturer is currently my

1467
00:53:51,164 --> 00:53:53,510
my first my first job, I think I

1468
00:53:53,510 --> 00:53:55,909
think, out of college, I think there's a

1469
00:53:55,909 --> 00:53:59,049
there's a really cool benefit of of a

1470
00:53:59,109 --> 00:54:01,210
privately owned company that

1471
00:54:01,670 --> 00:54:04,409
continues to invest in research and development

1472
00:54:04,710 --> 00:54:06,409
for the products that we have. And,

1473
00:54:06,710 --> 00:54:09,034
I think that, you know, Anderson Hauser has

1474
00:54:09,034 --> 00:54:10,574
has done a great job of,

1475
00:54:11,275 --> 00:54:13,355
showing some innovations that we can within our

1476
00:54:13,355 --> 00:54:15,295
Coriolis flow flow meter technologies.

1477
00:54:16,394 --> 00:54:17,454
That's all I got.

1478
00:54:18,795 --> 00:54:21,194
Well, I thought that was very interesting, especially

1479
00:54:21,194 --> 00:54:24,369
the HBSI, how you guys have in included

1480
00:54:24,369 --> 00:54:25,889
that in your product so you can see

1481
00:54:25,889 --> 00:54:28,849
that everything's good, or if something is starting

1482
00:54:28,849 --> 00:54:29,670
to go out

1483
00:54:29,969 --> 00:54:31,809
of out of, you know, out of I

1484
00:54:31,809 --> 00:54:33,329
don't wanna say out of whack. You know,

1485
00:54:33,329 --> 00:54:35,570
something's starting to go out of alignment, you

1486
00:54:35,570 --> 00:54:37,329
know, with Yeah. What you were expecting. And

1487
00:54:37,329 --> 00:54:40,184
that example of cleaning, you know, nobody would

1488
00:54:40,184 --> 00:54:41,805
have thought, you know, this, you know,

1489
00:54:42,425 --> 00:54:44,585
this product is designed to run this fluid

1490
00:54:44,585 --> 00:54:46,825
through it, but the cleaner, they'll finding out

1491
00:54:46,825 --> 00:54:48,285
that the cleaner was the problem.

1492
00:54:48,744 --> 00:54:51,065
That's priceless. Right? That's priceless. And you can

1493
00:54:51,144 --> 00:54:52,905
you like you said, there's different options you

1494
00:54:52,905 --> 00:54:53,565
can take

1495
00:54:53,889 --> 00:54:55,489
to address that issue, but now that you

1496
00:54:55,489 --> 00:54:57,329
know what the problem is. If you didn't

1497
00:54:57,329 --> 00:54:59,329
know there was a problem, then your values

1498
00:54:59,329 --> 00:55:00,849
would be off over time, and that wouldn't

1499
00:55:00,849 --> 00:55:03,170
be good at all. Right. So Right. Just

1500
00:55:03,170 --> 00:55:05,489
such an interesting topic to talk through. And

1501
00:55:05,489 --> 00:55:07,784
I I appreciate you not only to take

1502
00:55:07,784 --> 00:55:09,304
us through your products, but also taking us

1503
00:55:09,304 --> 00:55:10,525
through some of the technologies

1504
00:55:11,224 --> 00:55:12,824
that are built in the products and that

1505
00:55:12,824 --> 00:55:14,505
make them work. And I you know, there's

1506
00:55:14,505 --> 00:55:15,885
a lot there between

1507
00:55:16,585 --> 00:55:19,385
the, field bus, the PROFINET, and the Ethernet

1508
00:55:19,385 --> 00:55:19,885
IP

1509
00:55:20,199 --> 00:55:21,980
on your really high end,

1510
00:55:22,280 --> 00:55:23,099
high accuracy,

1511
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,460
you know, type of installations versus

1512
00:55:27,000 --> 00:55:29,079
maybe a smaller installation where you can use

1513
00:55:29,079 --> 00:55:31,160
IO Link because it's slower cost. We just

1514
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:32,840
had the IO Link folks on the podcast.

1515
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:35,275
If you guys missed that, just, check back,

1516
00:55:35,594 --> 00:55:37,114
a podcast or two ago. We had the

1517
00:55:37,114 --> 00:55:39,355
IO link guys on talking about what they

1518
00:55:39,355 --> 00:55:40,554
do and how they do it, and I

1519
00:55:40,554 --> 00:55:42,315
think you summarized it very well in this

1520
00:55:42,315 --> 00:55:42,815
presentation.

1521
00:55:43,355 --> 00:55:44,795
And so I think that makes a lot

1522
00:55:44,795 --> 00:55:46,894
of people happy because in many cases,

1523
00:55:47,570 --> 00:55:49,250
that's a lower cost. Yeah. I mean, you're

1524
00:55:49,250 --> 00:55:50,690
not gonna get the same performance as you're

1525
00:55:50,690 --> 00:55:52,150
gonna get over Ethernet, but

1526
00:55:52,530 --> 00:55:54,369
you're it's a lower cost, and it's, you

1527
00:55:54,369 --> 00:55:57,409
know, maybe enough information for your application. So

1528
00:55:57,409 --> 00:55:59,809
it's good to see that option there, especially

1529
00:55:59,809 --> 00:56:02,664
for those skid manufacturers who can utilize those

1530
00:56:02,664 --> 00:56:03,164
products.

1531
00:56:03,464 --> 00:56:04,984
You know, with that, I I don't have

1532
00:56:04,984 --> 00:56:07,385
any other questions. Was there anything else you

1533
00:56:07,385 --> 00:56:08,824
wanted to say before we close out the

1534
00:56:08,824 --> 00:56:10,505
show? No. All I have to say is

1535
00:56:10,505 --> 00:56:12,664
thank you. I appreciate the the time and

1536
00:56:12,664 --> 00:56:14,880
the the the platform. I think this is,

1537
00:56:15,279 --> 00:56:17,199
awesome, and thank you for asking all the

1538
00:56:17,199 --> 00:56:18,559
questions you did. I think there was a

1539
00:56:18,559 --> 00:56:20,739
lot of a lot of really good information

1540
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:21,619
that you mentioned,

1541
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:23,460
as well there too. So,

1542
00:56:24,559 --> 00:56:26,339
thank you. That's all I have to say.

1543
00:56:26,480 --> 00:56:28,739
Well, Lon, thank you for coming on. I,

1544
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:30,235
I just like the first time we had

1545
00:56:30,235 --> 00:56:31,534
Anderson Hauser on,

1546
00:56:31,914 --> 00:56:34,974
it was just really just so intellectually interesting.

1547
00:56:35,034 --> 00:56:37,034
So it's our pleasure to have you on,

1548
00:56:37,034 --> 00:56:39,434
and we really appreciate you guys. Thank you.

1549
00:56:39,434 --> 00:56:41,514
Appreciate it. Well, I hope you enjoyed that

1550
00:56:41,514 --> 00:56:42,950
episode, and I wanna thank Lawton for for

1551
00:56:42,950 --> 00:56:44,150
coming on the show, not only to bring

1552
00:56:44,150 --> 00:56:46,490
us up to speed on Coriolis flow meters,

1553
00:56:46,710 --> 00:56:48,789
but also answering my questions because I know

1554
00:56:48,789 --> 00:56:50,349
I interrupted there, especially at the beginning with

1555
00:56:50,349 --> 00:56:52,869
a lot of questions. So really appreciate him,

1556
00:56:53,110 --> 00:56:55,110
taking my questions and also bringing us up

1557
00:56:55,110 --> 00:56:56,250
to speed on the technology.

1558
00:56:56,630 --> 00:56:57,945
Now Now I also wanna thank E and

1559
00:56:57,945 --> 00:56:59,625
H for sponsoring this episode so I could

1560
00:56:59,625 --> 00:57:00,905
bring it to you ad free on all

1561
00:57:00,905 --> 00:57:01,405
platforms.

1562
00:57:01,704 --> 00:57:03,465
I don't like ads, but, you know, you

1563
00:57:03,465 --> 00:57:04,905
gotta pay the bills. And when a vendor

1564
00:57:04,905 --> 00:57:06,345
comes in and they sponsor the show, it

1565
00:57:06,345 --> 00:57:08,345
really underwrites our cost to edit it and

1566
00:57:08,345 --> 00:57:11,070
publish it. So I'm super appreciative to them

1567
00:57:11,150 --> 00:57:13,309
and to all our sponsors who do that.

1568
00:57:13,309 --> 00:57:14,670
And please let them know if you see

1569
00:57:14,670 --> 00:57:16,349
E and H anywhere out there, if you're

1570
00:57:16,349 --> 00:57:17,710
talking to one of their reps or you're

1571
00:57:17,710 --> 00:57:20,190
talking to, somebody from E and H, please

1572
00:57:20,190 --> 00:57:22,030
let them know how much I appreciate and

1573
00:57:22,030 --> 00:57:24,610
maybe you appreciate that they sponsored this episode.

1574
00:57:24,905 --> 00:57:26,824
I also wanna mention that you may not

1575
00:57:26,824 --> 00:57:29,085
know this, but I brought my other podcast

1576
00:57:29,224 --> 00:57:32,425
back, the automation news podcast. I renamed the

1577
00:57:32,425 --> 00:57:34,664
automation tech talk. And anytime I have an

1578
00:57:34,664 --> 00:57:36,045
episode that is,

1579
00:57:36,505 --> 00:57:38,505
one of my shorter episodes that I think

1580
00:57:38,505 --> 00:57:40,105
will do good on audio, be a good

1581
00:57:40,105 --> 00:57:42,619
listen. Right? I am publishing it on that

1582
00:57:42,619 --> 00:57:44,240
automation tech talk podcast.

1583
00:57:45,019 --> 00:57:48,059
And on this podcast, you probably notice every

1584
00:57:48,059 --> 00:57:49,820
once in a while, I'm releasing an episode

1585
00:57:49,820 --> 00:57:52,380
of the automation show. Some episodes of the

1586
00:57:52,380 --> 00:57:54,300
automation show, there's so much hands on that

1587
00:57:54,300 --> 00:57:55,980
I don't think they'd make a good audio

1588
00:57:55,980 --> 00:57:56,480
addition,

1589
00:57:56,835 --> 00:57:58,775
but some of them are like presentations

1590
00:57:59,155 --> 00:57:59,894
and discussions.

1591
00:58:00,195 --> 00:58:02,355
And I think those would make a good

1592
00:58:02,355 --> 00:58:04,514
episode of the automation podcast. So I'm releasing

1593
00:58:04,514 --> 00:58:07,474
them on this podcast channel, but I'm keeping

1594
00:58:07,474 --> 00:58:10,135
the name, the automation show. So you know,

1595
00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:12,440
hey. This is, originally was a video that

1596
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:13,739
was turned into a podcast.

1597
00:58:14,039 --> 00:58:15,719
So give me feedback. If you don't like

1598
00:58:15,719 --> 00:58:17,659
those, I'll stop doing it. But I thought

1599
00:58:17,719 --> 00:58:19,800
because, some weeks we can't always bring you

1600
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:21,559
a new episode, we may have an episode

1601
00:58:21,559 --> 00:58:23,239
of automation show that I think would make

1602
00:58:23,239 --> 00:58:24,974
a good listen. So I wanted to bring

1603
00:58:24,974 --> 00:58:26,974
those to you on this platform as well.

1604
00:58:26,974 --> 00:58:28,775
And, again, I always love your feedback, and

1605
00:58:28,775 --> 00:58:29,795
I wanna thank everybody

1606
00:58:30,094 --> 00:58:32,414
who's given a five stars or thumbs up.

1607
00:58:32,654 --> 00:58:34,335
You guys are great. I you know, last

1608
00:58:34,335 --> 00:58:35,775
time I checked on it, you had so

1609
00:58:35,775 --> 00:58:36,510
many people,

1610
00:58:36,909 --> 00:58:38,269
had given us five stars. And that you

1611
00:58:38,269 --> 00:58:40,750
know, that's really how we find new vendors

1612
00:58:40,750 --> 00:58:42,110
come out, like E and H and other

1613
00:58:42,110 --> 00:58:44,829
vendors. Right? They specifically said you guys were

1614
00:58:44,829 --> 00:58:46,750
such had such great feedback on the previous

1615
00:58:46,750 --> 00:58:48,610
podcast that they wanted to come back on.

1616
00:58:48,750 --> 00:58:50,510
So please take a moment. I know a

1617
00:58:50,510 --> 00:58:52,255
lot of you listen while you're driving. But

1618
00:58:52,255 --> 00:58:53,534
when you get home or get to some

1619
00:58:53,534 --> 00:58:54,974
place where you can look at your phone,

1620
00:58:54,974 --> 00:58:56,414
please give us a thumbs up or a

1621
00:58:56,414 --> 00:58:58,255
five star rating because that really helps us

1622
00:58:58,255 --> 00:59:00,014
grow the audience and find new vendors to

1623
00:59:00,014 --> 00:59:01,695
come on the show. And with that, I'm

1624
00:59:01,695 --> 00:59:03,454
gonna end the show right there. I wanna

1625
00:59:03,454 --> 00:59:05,534
wish you all good health and happiness. And

1626
00:59:05,534 --> 00:59:07,074
until next time, my friends,

1627
00:59:08,632 --> 00:59:09,132
peace.
