Omniflex has been designing and manufacturing electronic products and systems for the automation and control industry since 1965. The company now brings this depth of experience and technology to the field of M2M communications: a framework of technologies providing an integrated service to retrieve and present data and to provide monitoring and control of remote assets, wherever the user or the assets may be.
Features
• Remote control: not only can assets be monitored from around the world, but they can be controlled as well.
• Instant notification of alarms: notify the correct personnel the moment an alarm occurs.
• Tailor the system: user-friendly configuration and flexibility allows users to tailor their systems to suit any application.
Benefits
• A versatile solution to remote asset management: keep in touch and in control of remote assets 24/7/365, from anywhere.
• Reduce downtime, improve business process and provide greater efficiency = higher revenues.
• Managing assets in real-time provides competitive advantage.
Applications
• Utilities: remote meter reading.
• Supply chain management: optimise stock levels, service calls and downtime.
• Building automation: monitor heating, ventilation and refrigeration.
• Agriculture: monitor pumping stations, boreholes and greenhouses.
• Environmental monitoring: water quality and gas monitoring.
• Security: intrusion alarms and access monitoring.
• Production monitoring: batch reporting and stoppage alarms.
• Cargo: position tracking, cold chain and onboard diagnostics.
• Pharmaceutical (laboratory and clinic): compliance monitoring for 21 CFR 58.
• Electrical substations: status and fault monitoring.

Industrial Wireless
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.

Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring
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.
