Ashworth Exhibits the SmartOven® Monitoring System with Live Demo at iba 2025 in Düsseldorf, Germany

A New Addition to Ashworth’s Smart Technology Portfolio

DÜSSELDORF, GERMANY — Ashworth Belts B.V., the industry pioneer, and leading conveyor belt manufacturer, will exhibit the SmartOven® Monitoring System – an innovative application that provides real-time remote monitoring of multiple ovens at multiple locations. Attendees of iba 2025 can witness a demo of the system in action at Stand A11, located in Hall 11 at the Messe Düsseldorf from May 18th through May 22nd. 

“New to Ashworth’s “Smart Technology” portfolio is the SmartOven Monitoring System. The SmartOven monitors key metrics that are tracked and trended to identify changes in an oven’s operating parameters.,” said Chris Trinch, Senior Product Engineer for Ashworth. “This data is available through your smart phone, tablet, laptop, or desk top computer across multiple ovens and multiple plant locations. Our goal is to aid in predictive maintenance and eliminate down-time associated with unplanned failures.”

“The SmartOven Monitoring system was developed to take the guesswork out of equipment failure for those in the baking industry. We based our technology around two top considerations; easy-access and preventing unplanned downtime,” said Chris Trinch, Senior Product Engineer for Ashworth. “The SmartOven offers sensors to continuously monitor zone temperature, motor power, and the main bearing. The result is a system that ultimately improves performance and efficiencies.”

The SmartOven Advantage

According to Trinch, companies rely on Ashworth’s Smart Technology to plan and prioritize maintenance costs, identify performance issues, prevent failures, and reduce repair costs. “The SmartOven ensures peace-of-mind for those in the baking industry by predicting problems before they occur. Alarm notifications include oven identification, identification of fault, the date and time that an issue was detected, and the location of the facility.”
