  • The non-Ex pressure and temperature sensor variants retained the sensing, wireless-connectivity and battery-life capabilities of the existing NEON range.
  • IMI combined the sensors with SolidRed analytics and LoRaWAN infrastructure for device management, asset visibility and long-range low-power data transmission.
  • The company reported more than 2,000 non-Ex units ordered for installation and said additional sensor variants were planned.
