Nitrex, a Novacap portfolio company and a global provider of fully integrated heat-treating solutions and technologies, unveiled a new corporate brand identity. A new logo will be adopted by all the Nitrex business units. For now, the names of the legal entities will not change so customers, suppliers and stakeholders can continue to use the existing names and addresses in all official communication. The new wordmark for United Process Controls leverages its well-known trade name, the UPC initials, in combination with the company’s best-known brand asset, Marathon Monitors, to form UPC-Marathon. G-M Enterprises, the newest addition to the Nitrex Turnkey Systems portfolio, traded its metallic graphic for a single-color wordmark using the same typeface as the other logos with the addition of the tagline, “A Nitrex Company.”

BNP Media has announced the launch of the Process Heating & Cooling Show, an interactive conference and exposition where executives and engineers from various industries – including oil and gas, electronics, pharmaceuticals, food, beverages, packaging and plastics – will learn from thought leaders and discover new technologies and trends exclusively for the process heating and cooling sectors. This new event will be held June 16-17, 2021, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Ill.

The Capella C3 Series of hand-held, battery-operated infrared thermometers feature temperature ranges from 482°F (250°C) to 5972°F (3300°C).

Corr-Paint CP3015-BL is a high-temperature coating system used to inhibit oxidation of carbon-steel and cast-iron exhaust headers used in automotive, truck and industrial applications up to 1500°F.

Semiotic Labs, a company based in Leiden, Netherlands, and Germany’s SMS group signed an agreement under which the two companies will cooperate in the field of predictive maintenance. The AI-based technology developed by Semiotic Labs uses electrical signals and the data fingerprint of AC motors and other rotating equipment to monitor and analyze the condition of critical plant assets and enable reliable and early prediction of developing faults. SAM4 operates based on sensors installed directly in the control cabinet – not on the asset itself. This solution is particularly useful for the monitoring of equipment in the metallurgical industry.

Thermal IQ Optimize provides users with real-time analytics and fault modeling with early event detection at plant, equipment and process level to keep thermal-processing equipment running safely, efficiently and effectively.

Groov RIO, a family of intelligent, distributed input/output (I/O) for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and automation applications, can quickly connect traditional wired switches and sensors directly to Ethernet networks, software applications and cloud platforms without intermediary control or communication hardware.

Stream image analysis software v. 2.4.2 includes an improved image analysis solution to measure and rate non-metallic inclusion content in high-purity steel.

The NIR-B-2K short-wavelength radiometric infrared borescope imaging camera is designed for continuous industrial furnace process monitoring and control applications requiring highly accurate temperature measurement.

The Industrial Heating Equipment Association (IHEA) has several educational opportunities available for members and non-members alike throughout 2020.
