Our sensors overcome limitations and costs of legacy instruments

VitalSensors Technologies LLC is an applications specific spectroscopy company that develops cutting edge Inline, Networked, Infrared, Smart Sensors for real-time process control. VitalSensors' products are designed for use by Food, Beverage, Pharmaceutical and other industries worldwide.

Benefits of Inline, Infrared Sensors

Direct, Inline, Infrared Measurements of Process Contents - VS-1000 and VS-3000 Sensors directly measure the true contents and temperature of fluids in a process stream, tank or filler.  VS Sensors measure only true concentrations and do no infer any values or perform calculations.  Concentration readings are reliable and occur in real-time.  VS series Sensors can be implemented in flow or no flow conditions and are not affected by pressure spikes or extreme working conditions. The sensors operates in place during cleaning and sterilizing.

VS-1000 Series Sensors measure one dissolved concentration and temperature.

VS-3000 Series Sensors measure three dissolved concentrations and temperature as well as other derived measurements for brewers such as original gravity and specific gravity.

Un-paralled Sensor Resolution and Repeatability - VS-1000 and VS-3000 Sensors have been tested against traditional industry instruments at customer locations. The sensor's measurement range from low ppm to high concentrations is industry leading. VitalSensors' technology breakthroughs in infrared temperature stability and sensor drift provide for a very stable and repeatable sensor measurement.

Cost, Service and Maintenance Savings - VS Series Sensors are economical, easy to install and maintenance free 24x7 solid state devices.

Improve Plant and Asset Utilization - The proven reliability and accuracy of VS-1000 and VS-3000 Sensors provide plant personnel with accurate measurements 24x7.  This leads to raw material savings in addition to increased plant production as a result of less line downtime and less waste.

Networked Devices for Real-Time Data- VS Series Sensors are network capable and can be implemented as standalone units or as part of a process network under PLC control.

Custom Solutions - VitalSensors core technology can be modified to measure concentrations in applications not currently covered by our standard products.
