Electro-Sensors, Inc., incorporated on July 23, 1968, is engaged in manufacturing and selling industrial production monitoring and process control systems. The Company manufactures and sells monitoring systems that measure actual machine production and operation rates, as well as systems that regulate the speed of related machines in production processes. The Company operates through two segments: Production Monitoring and Investments. The Production Monitoring division manufactures and markets production monitoring equipment, in particular speed monitoring and motor control systems for industrial machinery. The Company markets its products to various industries located throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Latin America, Europe and Asia. The speed monitoring systems compare revolutions per minute or speed against acceptable rates as determined by a customer. The speed monitoring systems also include a line of products that measure production counts or rates, such as parts, gallons, or board feet.
The speed monitoring systems also include alarm systems, tachometers and other devices that translate impulses from the sensors into alarm signals, computer inputs, or digital displays that are usable by the customer. The Company's production monitoring devices include a tilt switch, vibration monitor and slide gate position monitor. A tilt switch is designed to alert the operator when a storage bin or production system reaches a certain capacity. A vibration monitor alerts an operator when the vibration of a machine in a production system exceeds or is less than a specified level. The slide gate position monitor is used in plant operations to provide feedback of the position of a slide gate. As part of its Electro-Sentry Hazard Monitoring system, the Company also has temperature sensors that are used to monitor bearing temperature and belt misalignment. It has several products used in drive control systems that regulate the speed of motors on related machines in a production sequence to ensure that the performances of various operations are coordinated. The Company's products consist of a line of digital control products for motors that require a complete closed loop proportional integral derivative (PID) control. The closed loop controllers coordinate production speed among process motors and reduce waste.
The Company's Electro-Sentry 1 hazard monitoring system integrates its sensors for monitoring temperature, belt misalignment and shaft speed with a programmable logic controller and touch screen interface to create a system for hazard monitoring. The system enables customers to locate which part of their material handling system is operating incorrectly, by using visual diagrams on a touch screen. It also offers Electro-Sentry 16 hazard monitoring system. It offers ION Frequency/Discrete-In, a product that allows users to measure approximately 10 shaft speeds and/or signal frequencies from pulse-frequency-output sensors. It offers a process meter for analog output sensors, such as TT420, temperature sensors, ST420, speed sensors and SG1000, slide gate position monitor. The Company markets the wireless hazard monitoring products under HazardPRO product line, and manufactures and services these products at its Minnetonka, Minnesota facility. It offers products for various applications, including grain, feed, bio-fuels, power generation, water utilities and waste water treatment, mining, chemical and other processing areas. The Company sells products primarily through both internal sales team, and manufacturer's representatives and distributors located throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Guatemala, Peru, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Australia, China, Korea, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Philippines and Singapore.
The Company competes with Danaher Controls, Red Lion Controls, 4B Elevator Components Ltd. and Durant Corporation.
