6 February 2008
Zettlex are to supply high precision encoders to a major European homeland security manufacturer as part of a 5 year supply & service contract.
Terrorism - or the threat of terrorism - is increasingly an everyday occurrence for many of us. In an affort to protect innocent people from such threats a new industry - 'homeland security' - has generated a plethora of new surveillance, monitoring and target acquisition technology. Zettlex encoders enable the operation of such technology by providing compact, lightweight, high precision rotary and linear encoders which will operate reliably in all weathers.
As part of Zettlex's most recent contract, the company will produce encoders and provide field technical and spares support in UK & mainland Europe.
Zettlex's General Manager commented "I'm greatly encouraged by the feedback we received after the formal tendering process. We were in competition with 3 optical encoder manufacturers and Zettlex was the only company that fulfilled every part of the client's requirements specification. Whenever there's a need for a precision sensor in harsh environments people choose Zettlex technology."
