Designing for Extreme Environments

Designing for Extreme Environments

Digital technology has managed to reshape the world in the last several decades.  It’s made life much more efficient, and workers are able to adapt to a wide variety of situations.  Unfortunately, electronics can be a tricky business.  Even the most basic electronic systems can be screwed up if they get wet, damaged, or contaminated.  For that reason, durability has been an important part of creating the products at SRP Control.  These are some of the reasons that a durable measuring device might be useful.

  • Difficult Environments – Some products must be designed to function in less than ideal conditions. Some workers are operating in extreme hot or cold.  Those kinds of radical temperature fluctuations can wreak havoc on unprotected systems.
  • Contaminants – Sometimes there must be frequent time spent around water, or maybe dust and other particles could come into contact with the measuring device. A durable casing can help prevent those harmful contaminants from altering the quality of your device.
  • Transportation – Many operators have to use measurement devices in the field. Because they’re being transported, there may be a lot of the usual wear and tear associated with that kind of lifestyle.  If a measuring device is banging around the back of a work van, the last thing you want is for it to be damaged in such a mundane way.  Durable casings can help protect your device during transport.
  • Unexpected Damages – Displays and gauges are often very sensitive, so there may be some unexpected event that could cause damage to an unprotected system. By providing the proper casing, SRP Control can ensure the continued successful operation of your equipment.

Extremely sturdy casings may not be required or ideal for all environments, so before you make a purchase, consult one of our professionals to find out if those options are right for you.
