If I was to highlight what I believe to be the key attributes of an ideal IT rack, then (in no particular order) I would suggest it would need to be: easy to order; meet current standards provide a safe environment for servers and other equipment; be modifiable at no great cost; and have an optimum price/performance ratio.
Brady Corporation's new, highly reflective ISO 7010 safety signs greatly increase safety in dark places. The signs reflect twice as much light when lit with a torch or vehicle headlights and can be used both in- and outdoors.
Precision sensor manufacturer Micro-Epsilon has introduced two thermal imagers for industrial environments that are both compact and robust, offering advanced thermal imaging functions at a price level normally associated with single point pyrometers.
Beamex introduces a better way to perform temperature calibrations with a new revolutionary, versatile temperature calibration solution called the Beamex MC6-T.
The MC6-T is the latest member of the hugely successful and respected Beamex MC6 family including the MC6 documenting calibrator and communicator, the MC6-Workstation bench calibrator and communicator and the ATEX, IECEx and North American certified MC6-Ex intrinsically safe field process calibrator and communicator.
The new Quint Power power supply from Phoenix Contact enables you to achieve high operational safety, even for demanding applications.
The Plus version with protective coating and ATEX/IECEx approval enables use in potentially explosive areas (zone 2). It has an integrated decoupling MOSFET and double overvoltage protection with SIL 3 certification.
Latest TVOC 2 incorporates well proven MiniPID 2 sensor technology for continuous detection of total volatile organic compounds
Further strengthening its position at the forefront of gas detection instrumentation for global occupational health and environmental monitoring applications, Ion Science (www.ionscience.com) has redesigned its TVOC fixed photoionisation detector (PID). Developed for continuous monitoring of total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs), the TVOC 2 features eye-catching new branding and incorporates the company’s latest market-leading long life MiniPID 2 sensor.
Ion Science’s TVOC 2 has three selectable detection ranges of 0 – 10, 0 – 100 and 0 – 1000 parts per million making it ideal for monitoring applications in a range of industries including manufacturing, processing, offshore, refineries, petrochemical, chemical, waste and water treatment, indoor air quality and pharmaceutical.
By incorporating Ion Science’s MiniPID 2 sensor, TVOC 2 boasts Fence Electrode Technology for increased resistance to humidity and contamination allowing extended operation in the field. A robust and rugged design helps ensure accurate results in the harshest of working environments.
Ion Science’s TVOC 2 utilises a diffusive sample technique resulting in less contamination issues compared to pumped systems which reduces lamp cleaning and servicing requirements. The 4-20 mA analogue output enables TVOC 2 to be integrated into a Distributed Control System (DCS) to give warning or control of high VOC levels in the working environment.
The ATEX approvals enable a three wire TVOC system to be used in Zone 2 hazardous areas, without safety barriers. Plus, ATEX and IECEx approvals allow TVOC to be used in Zone 1 hazardous areas, with safety barriers.
Ion Science’s TVOC 2 is simple to install, service and calibrate and does not require a hot work permit. The MiniPID 2 sensor is accessible and changeable in a matter of seconds.

Eight-inch tablet with optional 2D scanner enables enterprise mobility and productivity
London, UK – 17 September 2019 – Conker, a British producer of business rugged tablet, touch screen and mobile devices, announces the availability of its SX80 Android 8.1 tablet. The SX80 has been designed to be fit for purpose within scenarios where a business rugged device is required to enable a mobile workforce and enterprise mobility strategy. This includes warehouse and logistics, engineering, construction, manufacturing, retail and emergency services.
Cygnus Instruments makes the world’s only ultrasonic thickness gauge (UTG) that has been certified intrinsically safe to Zone 0. And it is being chosen more and more by the marine industry.
Safety is of course the leading driver here, as Chris McChesney of Marine Technical Limits (MTL) explains: “as a leading FPSO integrity and repair management company, we ensure we are always meeting the highest possible standards. On an FPSO, one is surrounded by confined spaces, Zone 0 and Zone 1 environments; so wherever relevant we will use ATEX equipment”.
