A regeneration facility replaced a manual method of measuring hazardous liquids in rail cars with a Signal Fire Remote Sensing System to increase worker safety. Previously, technicians used a measurement stick to determine the levels of sulfuric acid in rail cars shipped to the site daily by a refinery. Using the stick required tank measurement multiple times a day, exposing workers to acid fumes, posing a risk to their safety and health. As a manual method, tank measurement by stick varied…

Monitoring tubing and casing pressures from wellheads helps operators optimize well production while gaining a better understanding of long-term performance.  Feedback can also provide valuable information about well safety.  Wellkeeper Inc, a pioneer of reliable and affordable remote monitoring solutions for independent oil and gas operators, is specifying the SignalFire Remote Sensing System in their remote monitoring solutions for tracking tubing and casing pressures in the oil field.

Wireless monitoring and control systems must ensure the security of data as it passes from device to device. To provide this high level of data integrity for customers’ critical processes, SignalFire Wireless Telemetry has released a new version of their firmware that includes a suite of advanced security features.

SignalFire Wireless Telemetry introduces the Sentinel Float Stick System that serves as a wireless communication link in the remote monitoring and control of tank levels and temperatures for offsite data processing. Consisting of a magnetostrictive level probe with integrated temperature sensors and mated with a SignalFire Sentinel wireless node, the Sentinel Float Stick System creates a wireless connection between a sensor and Gateway where sensor data along with node-diagnostic information is available via a Modbus RTU or TCP interface….

SignalFire Wireless Telemetry has contracted manufacturer rep Automation X Engineers (AXE) to represent its wireless remote monitoring and control solutions in Canada throughout the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. With more than 40 years of experience in automation technology, AXE has established a strong reputation as experts in the wireless instrument/ automation industry/market across many industrial verticals in which SignalFire is growing its brand awareness.

SignalFire Wireless Telemetry has contracted four new manufacturer representatives to expand the brand of its wireless remote monitoring and control systems beyond the oil and gas industry to an array of new markets including chemical processing, refineries, downstream oil and gas, power generation, as well as food and beverage. The representative organizations were chosen based on their product expertise and client relationships in key territories that will play a major factor in supporting SignalFire’s growth throughout the country.

SignalFire Wireless Telemetry announces that its Modbus DIN Mount Gateways and Wireless I/O Modules are now certified to Class 1, Division 2 standards, allowing their use as part of remote monitoring and control systems in harsh environments with the occurrence of explosive gases.

SignalFire Telemetry has reached a major milestone by shipping its 20,000th wireless node.  The company reached this goal this week by shipping a Sentinel unit to one of its distributors: TechStar, based in Houston, TX.  SignalFire’s CTO, Scott Keller, commented, “Shipping 20,000 systems is a good milestone, but we are especially proud of our record of reliable performance.  We have maintained an extremely low field-failure rate from all causes—less than 0.15%—including warranty and non-warranty. Reliability is our number-one design…
