News from Omniflex Remote Monitoring Specialists:
The role of alarm annunciators in temperature monitoring
September 2024, Temperature Measurement , Omniflex Remote Monitoring Specialists

Director at alarm annunciator specialist, Omniflex explores the importance of alarm annunciators in temperature monitoring applications, drawing on examples from different industrial settings.

Keeping an eye on invisible radiation
August 2024, Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring, Omniflex Remote Monitoring Specialists

At its peak in 1994, the energy generation capacity of the UK’s nuclear power stations was 12,7 GW across 16 plants. In 2024, the capacity has fallen to around 5 GW, and the number of stations is down to nine. However, this is far from the end of the story as spent nuclear fuel remains radioactive for centuries, and requires rigorous safety processes to safeguard against leaks.

Plant signal conditioning
I&C July 2024, Flow Measurement & Control, Omniflex Remote Monitoring Specialists

Often, plant managers have a deep understanding of all the key operational challenges facing their facility, and have a broad knowledge of the instrumentation that can help solve them. However, they might not always be aware of the latest innovations that can make their lives even easier.

Ensuring ongoing structural integrity in wharves
June 2024, Industrial Wireless, Omniflex Remote Monitoring Specialists

In collaboration with engineering firm AMOG Consulting, remote monitoring specialist Omniflex has developed WharfWise. This is a holistic structural monitoring system that, for the first time, provides wharf operators and asset managers with real-time oversight of mooring operations and structural integrity.

Upgrade your legacy alarm units
May 2024, IS & Ex, Omniflex Remote Monitoring Specialists

Darren Barratt, sales manager at alarm annunciator specialist Omniflex, explains the drawbacks of leaving outdated rack-based alarm annunciator systems in place, and why an upgrade might be simpler than you would expect.

Taming the terrain
April 2024, Industrial Wireless, Omniflex Remote Monitoring Specialists

Effectively monitoring and controlling water distribution networks is crucial if we are to avoid wasting this valuable, life-preserving resource. Wireless telemetry systems play a vital role in this task, collecting data from remote locations and transmitting it to a central control station for real-time monitoring and control.

Cathodic protection system for hazardous environments
March 2024, IS & Ex, Omniflex Remote Monitoring Specialists

When NSW Ports in Australia embarked on a two-year programme to rehabilitate the structures and combat corrosion levels at its Bulk Liquid Berth 1, it commissioned Melbourne-based consultancy Infracorr to deliver a bespoke cathodic protection) system. To deliver the system safely, Infraccor engaged cathodic protection specialist Omniflex to support the hazardous area and remote monitoring aspects of the CP system design.

Signal conditioning is the protective armour between plant and field
February 2024, Sensors & Transducers, Omniflex Remote Monitoring Specialists

Measurement and control of physical properties are the foundation of all critical industrial technologies. Ian Loudon, international sales and marketing manager at remote monitoring specialist, Omniflex explains the challenges of industrial signal conditioning and the importance of safety engineering.

Industrial signal conditioning
February 2024, Electrical Power & Protection, Omniflex Remote Monitoring Specialists

Automation for Industry 4.0, process control, data acquisition, and alarm processing all rely on the conversion of physical signals to a standardised, usable format, that engineered systems can reliably use to manage industrial processes.
