PENN System 550
The PENN System 550 is a modular electronic control solution that provides temperature, humidity and/or pressure control. When a refrigerant leak is detected, the technician is notified which A2L refrigerant sensor detected the leak through Modbus communications, simplifying and expediting maintenance and repairs. System 550 is designed so that in the future, sensors for detecting A3 refrigerant leaks (e.g., R290, Propane) can be used, preparing for the future as low-GWP refrigerant regulations continue to evolve.
Sensaphone
Sentinel and WSG30 Remote Monitoring Systems
Designed for use in commercial food storage, cold storage warehouses and food processing facilities, these systems provide 24/7 real-time monitoring and instant alerts to prevent product loss. When paired with temperature sensors or probes, these Sensaphone systems monitor the interior coolness of standard commercial refrigerators and freezers, as well as ultra-low freezers (down to -109°F/-85°C). They also function as data loggers that store historical temperature readings.
Curtiss-Wright
GTF Exlar Actuator
The GTF is designed to offer numerous configuration options, including an IP69K washdown variant, critical for motion applications with potential food contact. As with all Exlar integrated actuators, the inverted roller screw, servo-driven design and compact form make the GTF ideal for builders of hygienic machinery to incorporate into their designs.
ATC Diversified Electronics
SENSERT Remote Process Monitoring System
With this cloud-based monitoring and alert system, a variety of sensors can be wirelessly connected via remote I/O or hardwired to the SENSERT base unit. The SENSERT system works with commercially available sensors that conform to 0-20 mA, 4-20 mA, 0-5 V or 0-10 V. The system can monitor a variety of conditions, including temperature, humidity, vibration and pressure. Data is monitored in real time and can be accessed via web portal or mobile app. Alerts are triggered based on customizable thresholds.
Emerson
Dust Collector Monitoring & Control System
The Dust Collector Monitoring & Control system is a pre-engineered and customizable solution that enables manufacturers to monitor and track the performance of their dust collector systems, ensuring compliance with emission standards. This solution not only lowers operating costs but also extends the life of bags and pulse valves while reducing the waste of compressed air or gas due to leaks. Designed to meet emissions regulations, the Dust Collector Monitoring & Control solution effectively detects leaks early, minimizes compressed air waste, and prolongs the life of dust collector system components.
