BRADENTON, Fla. (Jan. 9, 2014) – IRISS announced the acquisition of New Jersey-based Delta T Engineering, a 25 year-old privately held company. Delta T Engineering predominately develops a wireless monitoring system designed to detect temperature increases and prevent electrical equipment failures within electrical enclosures caused by poor connections and overloaded circuits.
Terms of the acquisition, effective Jan. 1, 2014, includes all the rights to trademarks, brand names, certifications, domain names, inventions, patents, registrations, copyrights, inventory, intellectual property, licenses, royalty fees, source code, object code, documentation and trade secrets. IRISS will move the company to its headquarters location in Bradenton, Fla., and will hire new engineers and assemblers locally to accommodate additional product offering.
"This acquisition plays into our overall company strategy of becoming a leader in the EMSD market. Delta T’s online monitoring system will join our family of EMSDs which currently includes infrared (IR) windows, ultrasound ports, and external voltage detection ports,” said Martin Robinson, CEO of IRISS Group. “Use of EMSDs allow maintenance tasks to be completed while the switchgear enclosure remains closed and collectively EMSDs are providing a cost-effective way for companies to comply with all of the established and changing NFPA 70E standards for maximum inspection safety while minimizing commercial risk."
The Delta T technology effectively tracks electrical system temperatures and sends that data back to a computer hub for analysis and trending. If a critical issue arises, operators will know in time to take the appropriate corrective action, before costly damage occurs. Maintenance personnel, electricians and facility occupants will have a safety advantage if warned prior to accessing electrical for scheduled routine maintenance or troubleshooting of possible electrical anomalies.
IRISS Group provides electrical maintenance safety devices (EMSDs) such as industrial-grade infrared (IR) windows and on-line monitoring systems.
