In machinery and equipment
for wet- and electro-chemical processes exists a large discrepancy between the high level of manufacturing automation
(transport, handling) and the insufficient automation level of the corresponding technology (process monitoring and control).
The optimization of manufacturing processes in terms of economic and environmental process control in surface technology
requires the demand-based dosing of process chemicals. The precondition for this is a continuous monitoring of the concentration
of quality-determining bath constituents (acids, alkalis, salts, organics).
Currently applied monitoring techniques such as titration, chromatography or spectroscopy
are error-prone laboratory methods or require expensive specialized equipment.
These shortcomings can be eliminated through the development and deployment of a new generation
of process measurement technology based on hydrogel sensors. Novel constructive and technological solutions for the first time allow direct concentration measurements and a simple online-monitoring of process baths in surface technology. The research objective is to gain the necessary knowledge for an efficient product development of industrial-suited hydrogel sensors.
