Sitech is entering into a strategic partnership with Sorama B.V., a specialist company in acoustic camera and sensor technology in ATEX environments. For Sitech, the partnership is a great addition to its inspection and asset health monitoring services in Ex-zones.
The acoustic products can be deployed via handheld devices, fixed and/or via ‘mount & move’, meaning integrated on robotic platforms from EXRobotics, for example. The application areas are inspections (locating gas/air/steam leaks) in explosion hazardous environments and mechanical condition monitoring based on acoustics (trend monitoring and anomaly detection).
The partnership with Sitech means a strong strategic service offering in the Southeast Netherlands specifically focused on our ATEX solutions. The combination with our specialised knowledge in acoustics and our products enables us to work together to offer more companies integrated solutions to improve safety, reduce emissions and at the same time reduce their energy and maintenance costs by providing early warning information related to the state of their assets.
Michel Weeda, VP Sustainable Industries for Sorama B.V.
Sitech and Sorama look forward to a fruitful collaboration that improves the chemical process industry in terms of safety and sustainability.
