Accutech's industrial wireless instrumentation recognized for excellence in industrial automation.
Hudson, MA - September 2005 - Accutech, a division of Adaptive Instruments Corp., a leading edge, technology-driven developer, manufacturer and supplier of industrial wireless instrumentation, today announced that Frost & Sullivan, a premier growth consulting firm, has named Accutech the recipient of the 2005 Award for Excellence in Technology.
Receiving the award for pioneering the development of high performance robust instrumentation to meet the demands and challenges of the process control industry, Accutech has been at the forefront of this rapidly growing field and has thousands of their instruments installed in over 250 plants, refineries and pipelines nationwide.
Accutech delivers powerful wireless instrumentation solutions for the oil and gas, refining, power, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper and food processing industries. These wireless measurements give industrial users a new tool to measure parameters such as temperature, pressure, differential pressure, level, voltage, electrical current, switch status and acoustic signatures for industrial applications such as detection of leaks in stream traps or relief valves, measurement of tank levels, continuous measurement of process parameters in rotating equipment, status of safety showers, CIP, and flare temperatures with installation ease not possible with other types of existing process instrumentation.
With a maximum RF transmission range of up to 2 miles, real plant measurements at distances of 1,000 feet are very realistic. The instruments have a battery life of up to 5 years with a transmission data rate of every few seconds. FM approved and rated for Class I, Division 1, these instruments provide measurement and monitoring of variables that are often too costly to measure with wired solutions. The 900 MHz ISM license-free units assure complete security with frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) communications technology.
Accutech's flexible and portable Wireless instrumentation solutions are more easily installed than traditional instruments, in as little as an hour from start to finish, saving up to 90% of total cost. Further, they can be conveniently integrated into a process operation's existing controls.
Accutech's instrumentation is designed to meet strict requirements and to solve tough challenges in difficult environments. Accutech's industry solutions provide businesses of all types with powerful tools to reduce costs, save time, enhance safety, improve environmental performance and cut waste.
Accutech, a Division of Adaptive Instruments Corp. of Hudson, MA, has pioneered industrial-strength wireless technologies specifically for applications in the most demanding industrial and processing environments. For over two decades, Accutech has offered a broad range of microprocessor measurement, monitoring and control instrumentation for a wide range of industries, including refining, petrochemicals, chemicals, plastics, oil and gas production, municipal water treatment, food and beverage, and others.
