Automation of manufacturing processes is important to plant manufacturers and users in order to optimise production. The automation of measurement processes in manufacture constitutes an important aspect of this. Communication by PRIMES measuring devices for beam measurement over industrially employed fieldbus systems with higher-level system controls allows direct and simple connection. Measuring devices for power measurement or analysis of beam distribution can be employed during production, and enable continuous documentation of beam quality. By laying down warning and threshold values, not only spontaneous but also long-term changes in the beam parameters are reliably identified.
