AMETEK Level Measurement Solutions (LMS) has launched BrightTEK, a state-of-the-art wireless Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution designed to redefine operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness in various industries
Initially available for the North American market, BrightTEK leverages wireless technology to facilitate seamless data transmission from AMETEK LMS branded transmitters — including Magnetrol, Orion Instruments, Drexelbrook, SWI and B/W Controls, offering visibility to key variables to help optimise on-site operations. It transmits data wirelessly directly to the customer-facing BrightTEK webserver, addressing the increasing demand for advanced wireless communication services in industrial environments. The BrightTEK webserver provides real-time insights into process variables such as tank levels, volume and location data. With customisable notifications, alerts, and alarms, users can proactively manage their operations, supply chain, and inventory.
BrightTEK introduces two cutting-edge uplink options; the ST95 battery-powered cellular uplink providing power and monitoring to sensors in remote locations without the need for wired connections; and the ST90 AC powered host, which offers the same features as the ST95 in a compact, rugged design.
AMETEK datacentres are certified SOC 2 Type 2 and SOC 3 (Tank Monitoring).
