Activity for Early Spring _ Highlighting our T&M product lines
Well how was the winter, any skiing time??. We have had a lot of time with the horses in the mud.
Spring is here up north and the Almond trees are in full flower, have been for 2-3 weeks now.
MasTec has had a busy winter, with a lot of OEM Machine and Device Building clients starting to ramp up production again.
So we have been supplying parts for the builds that are probably going on right now.
These clients will be running these production items off orders received and not just building for inventory, you can be sure.
This means business has been steadily improving over the year for many companies. They have low inventories and will only build on orders, keeping things lean. This means delivery times are getting extended and everyone at present is OK with this but it will soon change and it will be all go again.
We hope the same is happening in your area also.
Focus on T&M Products with a special focus on Rigol Products
Rigol is a premier instrument maker, Oscilloscopes, DMM, ARBs both Bench and Virtual.
They supply many companies in the world with badged products, even Agilent.
I think if you are teaching or researching this newsletter section will be of interest.
Pricing on these products are excellent and we feel we can beat any equivalent product in NZ or Australia right now. So if you are setting up labs or workshops with instruments, you may save thousands of dollars using Rigol and the other manufacturers in this newsletter.
This issue will look at Rigol first as a highlight and then also include some of our other suppliers of Instruments.
We can surely meet your needs in 95% of cases.
A New Service
This section is to assist other companies:
We are finding many small start up companies are having difficulty exposing their products or services to the market.
This is a report on one of the companies we introduced a few months back.
Follow up on Infranet Systems Ltd Infranet Systems has several sites in NZ running now and in July shipped their first export order with possibly more to come from the same client if all runs well remotely.
On time of writing, they have comms and the data is flowing to the web server fine from a country in the Pacific.
Infranet Systems make Web based connected remote monitoring and control systems for Infrastructure running out of sites on ADSL, 3G, GPRS etc.
The End Point Infranet System has local intelligence and has a configured set of rules of how to operate and maintain the site if comms is lost. If comms is lost, data is still collected and held in the remote end and when comms is re-established the data is sent to the web server, to up date the graphs and displays etc for the clients page/s.
The infrastructure can be almost anything, such as resouces like fuel, water, electricity, bulk material and security
It can manage devices or systems like these: - pumps, gensets, UPSs, motors, alternative power, any tank system, battery banks, silos.
Typical locations are industrial, generation, pumping, reticulation sites as well as building complexes, hotel, resorts, apartments and marine service sites, even marine floating systems, like ferries etc.
The nice thing about this IP Based system, is that all the customers get a web page/s to view their systems performance with historical data plots etc. So view anywhere even on your 3G phone, iphone etc.
For security or alarms, the system can do SMS text or emails to central locations etc for remedial correction or site visits
New Model Releases:
Infranet Systems are site testing level 3 of their software which configures remotely of the web, so the system will be even more versatile. Release date is before the end of the year at this point.
Infranet have also released a hardened galvanically isolated end point module for harsh sites, with all I/O digital and analog having isolation. Also including standard 4-20mA analog loops with loop power. All digital in and out are isolated to 4000VRMS and analogs to 1500VRMS.
They can be boxed in IP68 rating now
Some Interesting Highlights for this month are:-
LabJack - U6 - 16bit + ADC, programmable gain amp, TCs and Bridges without any additional hardware. Best buy for simple instrumentation so far.
Gamatronic - Are you building a data center? You need Gamatronic Power + or Mega Power hot swap redundant scaleable UPSs to 250KVA. Don't leave the datacenter without one. Very high efficiency. Super prices Easy install. Power factor correction also
Array PLC - wireless remote control - pushing out the uses for these low cost PLCs. Now build remote control relays with a range of up to 70--100 meters. This is the lowest cost way we know of for wireless control of 6 relays with programmability in the middle for complex or simple logic, timers lock outs, interlocks etc.

Smart Works Systems -- For Sale -- We endeavoured to do this last year but were not prepared for the interest.
As announced in the beginning of the year MasTec would go through a process of off loading all parts of its operation that did not meet its focused goal of being a sales only company.
MasTec is now actively selling off its complete integration divison called Smartworks Systems or SWS for short.
This is to complete the cycle of divesting all but sales operations from the company.
SWS will suit an Auckland based company who wants to add income to their already established client base.
Most of SWS clients are in Auckland with some in Australia and Malaysia.
What will be available in this transfer is all the integration projects, products, software work done from 1990 to the present.
Additionally there is hardware design and IP included for proprietary systems that are installed at many sites that require onward going support and upgrading etc.
We know several of you are interested in this section of the company and we would like to hear from you by email first please.
We will reply with a listing of what is being offered.
Email discussions from there and finally for those really interested phone and mettings etc.
Finally offers to purchase will be accepted, with the sale completing as soon as everyone is happy.
Please register your interest -- I am interested
