ABLE Instruments is delighted to align itself with Aegex Technologies LLC, as resellers for their intrinsically safe Windows 10 tablets for hazardous industrial environments via the e-commerce platform, 247able.
Aegex excels in the creation of intrinsically safe mobile devices for hazardous plant throughout those industries where ABLE has forged its reputation for supplying process control instrumentation solutions. The product synergies are many and significant with ABLE’s key flow, level, temperature and pressure technologies all being designed for use in hazardous areas.
The Aegex tablet boasts a first in being the original device to run the Windows 10 operating system and receive certification for operation in ATEX and IECEx Zone 1 throughout Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. For the U.S. and Canada, UL 913 Class 1 Division 1 and CSA 22.2 accreditation are available respectively. Being authorised to supply Aegex products to its expanding customer base augments ABLE’s ability to enhance the current trend of automation and data exchange in manufacturing and process technology (Industry 4.0)
The hazardous areas created by manufacturing processes such as those associated with pharmaceuticals, chemicals and food processing restrict the use of most computing devices and subsequently, operational data is typically reported on clipboard and paper. These factories typically involve thousands of different pieces of equipment in constant operation, with the manufacturer striving to automate their procedures.
Consequently, none of this data was being used for maximum operational benefit. Now, with the integration of intrinsically safe sensors and mobile devices like the Aegex tablet, organizations are beginning to connect “everything,” and use data from all component parts to form a better overall picture of an entire operation. With this insight, companies can use predictive analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) to better predict, plan and respond to anomalies, thus reducing cost and risk and improving overall safety and productivity.
