Ishida to showcase Sentinel 5.0 at Gulfood

Share this article:

A new version of Ishida’s market-leading remote production monitoring and reporting solution, Sentinel 5.0, is set to be the one of the highlights of this year’s Gulfood Manufacturing exhibition in Dubai. The company is also showcasing a range of its weighing, packing and quality control solutions, including its recently launched IX-PD X-ray inspection system, which breaks new ground in detection capabilities.

Gulfood Manufacturing is taking place in Dubai on 5-7 November at the Dubai World Trade Centre, with Ishida based in Hall 3, stand C3-4. The world-leader in weighing, packing and quality control equipment is demonstrating how its brand-new Sentinel 5.0 software combines machine performance monitoring with comprehensive data capture to give food manufacturers a smarter, more in-depth analysis of their entire food production line.

The technology, which aligns with Industry 5.0 principles of human-machine collaboration, enables food manufacturers and packers to operate their lines at maximum performance and efficiency. Through greater access to critical data, they can achieve better planning and high levels of preventative maintenance that avoid unnecessary and unwanted downtime.

Talking about the launch, Matt Eastham, General Manager, Middle East at Ishida Europe, said: “We are very much looking forward to Gulfood Manufacturing this year, as it will be a landmark occasion where we unveil how the food manufacturing industry can readily implement Industry 5.0 principles within their operations.

“In simplest terms, Industry 5.0 strives for better collaboration between people and machinery, and we’re showing how we’re already well down this pathway with Sentinel 5.0. It is the successor to our already very popular Sentinel 4.0 software, and crucially, allows integrated connectivity with both Ishida and non-Ishida machines. In practice, this means manufacturers have more joined up, smarter thinking, with our remote monitoring system putting connected technology at their fingertips. Operators can track performance and trace issues at every point during the food production line, which in turn allows them to pinpoint areas for improvement, unlock efficiencies, and minimise chances of non-compliance.”
