The Who's groovin video series continues with a look at how highly specialized and complicated refrigeration systems can be monitored remotely.
Do you work in a very specialized industry where downtime means major profit loss and technicians are hard to find?
That was the problem facing CryoPhit USA, an OEM manufacturer of cryotherapy chambers. These systems produce extreme temperatures, and fixing them can be time consuming. If a machine goes down, the operator's revenue stops cold.
In episode 8 of the Who’s groovin video series, see how CryoPhit turned a hard-to-service refrigeration system into one they can diagnose remotely and predict failures for before they happen.

New case study shows you how a SCADA integrator turned a patchworked, incomplete design specification into a streamlined monitoring solution.
How do you monitor radioactive waste activity and storage that will move continuously for decades—while collecting thousands of critical position measurements every second?
This was the challenge facing SCADA system integrator TUVI & Co. Ltd., a Bulgarian engineering firm.
They needed to track 19,008 cell positions across 66 permanent storage cells, plus 122 in a temporary storage building. Every move has be be recorded, and every position confirmed.
Opto 22's new case study explains how TUVI achieved it.

Learn how network segmentation protects the devices that can't protect themselves.
Are you a manufacturer who is trying to modernize operations without replacing the PLCs and control systems that are still working? Your machines are still running, but you face the challenge of connecting their OT data to IT networks.
These legacy systems weren't made to hold up to today's cybersecurity threats when they are exposed to the internet or business networks.
So what's the answer? Read a new technical article that offers practical solutions—and see why network segmentation is vital to unlocking OT data in a secure way.
