How does the Bröring Electronic Egg impact sensor work?

The device is designed to mimic a real egg in size, weight, and shape. It contains a 3D accelerometer and gyroscope that record shocks, vibrations, rotations, and tilts in real-time as it moves through transport, grading, and packing systems.

How do I access the data from the Bröring Electronic Egg?

The sensor features a built-in WiFi web server, eliminating the need for external software. Users can connect to the device via a browser on a smartphone, tablet, or PC to view live impact graphs or download data in CSV or PDF formats.

What do the LED indicators on the electronic egg mean?

The integrated LEDs provide immediate visual feedback: Green indicates low impact (safe), Yellow indicates moderate impact (warning), and Red indicates high impact (danger), signaling a point where egg breakage is likely to occur.

Can the electronic egg be used during active production?

Yes. Because it mimics the physical properties of a real egg, it can be placed directly into the production line alongside live product. This allows for testing and identifying mechanical 'hotspots' without needing to stop the machinery.

What are the primary applications for the Bröring Electronic Egg?

Key applications include identifying high-impact transfer points between conveyors, optimizing belt speeds to prevent pile-ups, commissioning new equipment, performing routine maintenance diagnostics, and calibrating lines based on the shell strength of specific flocks.

Electronic Egg Impact Sensor

The Electronic Egg is a reusable sensor device that moves through transport systems exactly like a real egg. This ensures all measurements reflect real handling conditions.

Realistic Simulation: Travels through the system like a real egg.

Impact Detection: Records shocks, vibrations and tilts.

Wireless Access: Browser-based access via integrated WiFi.

The Bröring Electronic Egg is the result of years of development with a clear goal: giving farmers precise and easy‑to‑use tools. Its robust design, real‑time data capture and intuitive visualisation (LEDs and tablet view) make it a breakthrough product.

The historical data view enables direct comparisons that even very experienced mechanics value highly. For this customer, the investment paid for itself in a very short time – a clear proof of the technology’s value.

This project shows how the Bröring Electronic Egg can help transform modern egg production by making mechanical stress finally measurable and optimisable.

Features

How the Electronic Egg works

The Bröring Electronic Egg is designed for simple integration into existing egg transport and processing systems. It follows the same path as real eggs and records all relevant mechanical stresses without interrupting

normal operation.

Place the Electronic Egg into the System

The Electronic Egg is placed directly onto the conveyor belt or transport system alongside real eggs. Its size, weight, and behavior closely match a real egg, ensuring realistic handling conditions. This guarantees that all measurements reflect real-world operation.
Measure Impacts During Live Operation

As the Electronic Egg moves through the system, it records shocks, vibrations, rotations, and tilts in three dimensions. Critical impacts are detected in real time. Integrated LED indicators provide immediate visual feedback.
Access and Analyze Measurement Data

All recorded data is stored internally and accessed wirelessly via the built-in web server. Any standard browser on PC, tablet, or smartphone can be used. Data can be reviewed and exported as PDF or CSV files.

Example live measurement view with impact markers.
Optimize the Transport Process

Measurement data reveals critical points such as drops, transitions, or excessive vibrations. Targeted adjustments can then be implemented efficiently. The result is reduced breakage and improved process stability.

FAQ’s

How does it work?

The device is shaped, sized, and weighted like a real egg. It contains a 3D accelerometer and gyroscope that record shocks, vibrations, rotations, and tilts in real-time as it moves along conveyor belts and through machinery.
How do I see the data?

It features a built-in WiFi web server. You don’t need to install software; you simply connect to the “egg” via a browser on a smartphone, tablet, or PC to view live impact graphs or download historical data (CSV/PDF).
What do the lights on the egg mean?

It has integrated LED indicators for immediate visual feedback:
- Green: Low impact (Safe).
- Yellow: Moderate impact (Warning).
- Red: High impact (Danger/Likely to crack)
Can it be used during normal production?

Yes. Because it mimics the physical properties of a real egg, it can be placed directly into the line alongside live product without stopping the machinery.
