Industrial Scientific Expands iNet(TM) Capabilities into Canada with New Service Centre
EDMONTON, AB, Canada - 12 Oct 2006 - Industrial Scientific Corporation, a global leader in gas detection and monitoring instruments, systems and related services, announced today the opening of a new service centre in Edmonton, Alberta. The centre will provide a solid support structure for the expansion of iNet(TM), a service-based solution, throughout Canada. The iNet Instrument Network(TM) Monitoring program effectively allows customers to outsource management of their entire gas detection fleet to the industry expert, Industrial Scientific. The total-cost-of-ownership program eliminates the most cost-intensive and time-consuming tasks involved in managing a gas monitor fleet.
"Given our commitment to providing the best customer service, it is only natural that we extend the first and only comprehensive gas monitor management service to an area where we have experienced such tremendous growth," said Justin McElhattan, President, Industrial Scientific Americas.
McElhattan further explained that the iNet service is grounded in the unique combination of three industry best practices to deliver extraordinary simplicity and value. First, iNet automates many tasks associated with operating a gas monitor fleet including instrument calibration, function testing, diagnostics, documentation and repair or replacement of an instrument if a problem occurs. Second, iNet allows users to focus on their core competency by freeing them from the hassles of administering a gas detection program. Third, standardizing equipment and processes improves safety and lowers costs by minimizing variations in practices and documentation.
These best practices all add end-user value by eliminating downtime, streamlining instrument fleets and lowering costs. As a company focused solely on gas detection, Industrial Scientific also provides peace of mind for iNet users by allowing them to shift the responsibility of managing and servicing gas detection programs to the industry experts.
