IRISS Inc. and SONOTEC US Inc., two world leaders in their respective industries join in a partnership. IRISS is a world leader in the manufacturing and supply of Maintenance Inspection Systems and Asset Surveillance Technologies and SONOTEC is a world leader in manufacturing of handheld ultrasound test equipment. The relationship between IRISS and SONOTEC began last year and has grown to be very successful. IRISS and SONOTEC have now announced that IRISS will be the Master Distributor for SONOTEC handheld ultrasound equipment for North America, South America (excluding Brazil) and the Caribbean. In addition, IRISS will provide calibration and repair services on SONOTEC products in the region.
According to Hans-Joachim Münch, Managing Director for SONOTEC, “There is a perfect match of SONOTEC hardware, the latest ultrasonic test equipment, and the electrical safety and electrical inspection professionalism of IRISS. Both companies see a large potential for growth and an added value for our customers.”
IRISS will offer the full range of SONOTEC handheld ultrasound test equipment including the SONAPHONE E, an ex-certified system, and the state-of-the-art SONAHONE III. IRISS will continue to sell the entry level SONUS XT product under the IRISS brand name and the SONUS PD product (for TEV / PD detection) also under the IRISS brand name. “The great news is that these Partial Discharge test equipment packages go together with the new IRISS Maintenance Inspection Systems with embedded Partial Discharge Sensors that allow users to perform visual, infrared, ultraviolet and now airborne ultrasound inspection of their critical assets” explains Martin Robinson, President & CEO of IRISS.
Sonotec US Inc, is a daughter company of SONOTEC Ultraschallsensorik Halle GmbH located in Germany. Founded in 1991, nowadays SONOTEC GmbH is a leading specialist in ultrasonic measurement technology solutions. With more than 150 employees, the technology company based in Halle (Saale) in the heart of Germany develops and manufactures customer-specific ultrasonic transducers and sensors as well as testing equipment and measuring technology solutions for a wide variety of industries.

IRISS is the global leader in Electrical Maintenance Safety Devices & Solutions. IRISS helps customer’s in reducing downtime related costs & maximize efficiency by reducing inspection times. EMSD’s warn you of potential equipment failures before they occur, maintain the energized compartment’s closed, safe and guarded condition ensuring workers are never exposed to the dangers of Arc Flash or electrocution, and automate asset inspection data collection process driving more efficiency improvements. The IRISS EMSD solutions reduce risk, minimize cost and maximize efficiency.
Enterprise asset management (EAM) implementation is sometimes misperceived as a complex, resource-intensive endeavor. But that perception is rooted in legacy approaches and outdated systems.
Effective maintenance planning and scheduling are essential to prevent unplanned asset failures from dictating your schedules and driving your budgets. In a reactive, unplanned environment, maintenance efforts falter—funds meant for proactive upkeep are instead wasted on waiting for parts, delayed equipment transfers, and emergency fixes that disrupt planned work
Minimizing downtime in the cement manufacturing industry is crucial, as each minute of operational delay can lead to significant financial repercussions.
This article outlines best practices for overcoming these hurdles and highlights the foundational elements of a successful spare parts management approach.
The impacts of Industry 4.0 and its younger sibling, Industry 5.0, fall right down to today’s factory workers. While embedded automation and optimization within the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 have the power to drive new efficiencies, they have also led to the introduction of more complex job roles and tasks, but for fewer frontline workers.
In today's industrial landscape, the buzz around advanced analytics is hard to ignore. Companies are increasingly looking to harness the power of data to drive efficiency, reduce downtime, and gain a competitive edge. However, the journey from collecting data to taking actionable steps based on that data is far from straightforward.
Employee engagement and retention are critical for the success of asset management organizations. High turnover rates and labor shortages pose significant challenges, impacting operational efficiency, safety and overall workforce morale.
Data analysis is critical to understanding problems and decision-making. Analysis that is not followed up by an action is likely a wasted opportunity, but not always.
When a machine is designed, one of the major considerations the engineer must make is the selection of proper rolling element bearings. Some of the factors to consider in selecting bearings are shaft speeds, loads (both axial and radial), the environment they will run in, how to relube them, the duty cycle, etc.
In today’s fast-paced connected world, you and your organization create an abundance of data. In the past, large corporations with multiple locations relied on in person site visits or information provided by the on-site team for updates to productivity in facilities. But what if there was a way to do this remotely?
