ISSYS Announces An Open House For Its Manufacturing Expansion
YPSILANTI, MI--(November 4, 2010) - Integrated Sensing Systems, Inc. (ISSYS) announces their open house on Wednesday, November 17th from 10am to 12pm, to celebrate its 2010 manufacturing expansion project. The expansion added 5,400 square feet to its existing facility and is dedicated to high-quality manufacturing of system-level products based on ISSYS MEMS chips that are fabricated in its current cleanroom facility. The addition includes assembly lines, production laboratories, clean assembly/packaging rooms and calibration areas for both medical and industrial products. The new floor space also includes a combination Cleanroom and Faraday cage for final assembly and calibration area with capacity of ISSYS' wireless, batteryless medical implants.
According to Doug Sparks, Executive VP of ISSYS, "This new manufacturing site will allow ISSYS to ramp up the production of its MEMS-based microdensity sensors and eventually the MicroCoriolis mass flow meters. The latest product, the FuelSenseTM density meter, is gaining traction in the monitoring of fuel and petrochemical quality, fuel custody transfer, fuel type and fuel blending markets. Its small size and added features gives it a significant advantage over current density meters based on steel resonating tubes. Phase I expansion accommodates production of thousands of industrial units per year. We are proud to show this new facility to our partners."
Dr. Nader Najafi, ISSYS President and CEO, stated that, "We look forward to showing the public our MEMS cleanroom facility, which included a new Pegasus DRIE system. The expansion area allows ISSYS to manufacture system-level products based on these enabling MEMS chips. These products include wireless, batteryless, sensing implants (targeted applications include congestive heart failure and traumatic brain injuries), and industrial fluidic devices such as the FC10 methanol concentration sensor, FuelSenseTM, MassSenseTM, and UL approved intrinsically safe density and flow meters."
