AMETEK® Level Measurement Solutions unveils BrightTEK™: A wireless IIoT solution/platform

AMETEK Level Measurement Solutions (LMS), a business of AMETEK Inc., 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.

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 optimize onsite operations.

BrightTEK is engineered to address the growing need for advanced wireless communication solutions in industrial environments. The platform's ability to transmit data wirelessly directly to the customer-facing BrightTEK webserver promises a new era of efficiency, reliability, remote data monitoring and inventory management.

Key advantages of BrightTEK Include:

  • Cost savings: By eliminating the need for extensive wiring, BrightTEK significantly reduces both installation costs and ongoing maintenance expenses.
  • Direct labor efficiency: The platform's wireless connectivity minimizes labor and travel intensity required for monitoring and maintenance, especially in remote locations.
  • Enhanced reliability: BrightTEK simplifies the communication infrastructure, streamlining data transmission and reducing the risk of system failures.
  • Remote monitoring: BrightTEK offers continuous monitoring for improved operational efficiency and allows for immediate response to alarms or changes from anywhere, reducing downtime.

The company’s datacenters are certified SOC 2 Type 2 and SOC 3 (Tank Monitoring), demonstrating its commitment to maintaining high standards of security and compliance.

BrightTEK introduces two cutting-edge uplink options designed to cater to diverse industrial needs:

  • ST95 cellular uplink: A battery-powered cellular uplink providing power and monitoring to sensors in remote locations without the need for wired connections. The ST95 supports up to two 4 mA–20 mA inputs and offers compatibility with AT&T and Verizon cellular services.
  • ST90 AC powered host: Capable of aggregating communications via 900-Mhz radio with up to 32, 4 mA–20 mA sensors, the ST90 is an excellent choice for various industrial applications, offering the same robust features as the ST95 in a compact, rugged design.

The BrightTEK webserver is a user-friendly, web-based platform providing real-time insights into process variables such as tank levels, volume and location data. With customizable notifications, alerts and alarms, users can proactively manage their operations, supply chain, and inventory, leading to efficiency and significant return on investment (ROI) through reduced servicing costs and improved inventory management. Moreover, BrightTEK is committed to the highest standards of cybersecurity, employing proactive measures to safeguard data.
