Monitoring networks

Portrait

Online data acquisition is becoming increasingly important in the environmental sphere. The systems and processes are facing ever greater challenges as a result of new technologies.

The monitoring networks specialist department focuses on telecontrolled measurement data acquisition and sampling control systems. High-quality, cost-effective systems can be realised by using industry standards from the automation sector.

The use of open archiving and SCADA systems allows customers to be offered a complete solution all the way to automated monitoring and data control.

A team of engineers and service technicians maintains and develops monitoring and sampling systems for a wide variety of applications.
