Sensor Data Wherever Needed
Easy Integration of ISM Systems
You want data from your analytical sensors wherever it's required. ISM™ measurement points can be easily incorporated into your facility without major infrastructure investment, time-consuming configuration, or verification efforts.
Sensor Data Throughout Your Facility
With ISM, integrating data from sensors into your facility doesn’t take a lot of time and doesn’t require significant changes to your infrastructure. ISM’s compatible with all common communication and bus systems.
Once integrated, you can receive information from ISM sensors wherever required, allowing you to:
- Automatically generate maintenance orders according to the sensor diagnostics.
- Automatically receive process and sensor data and save it on your databases for analysis, audits and data modeling.
- Retrieve the complete calibration history from sensors for easy compliance.
- And more...
All data comes from the sensors. External components such as edge devices or external clouds for processing and accessing data are not required.
“ISM offers simple integration, which is essential for system fabricators and EPCs. And knowing if and when a sensor has to be maintained: that’s a major headache solved."
More Sensor Data with ISM Technology: Not Just Measurements
This short video looks at why ISM sensors are so useful and how it helps companies across the globe to maintain high product quality:
- ISM sensors are immediately ready to measure
- ISM sensor diagnostics are available wherever required
- ISM data enables easy process automation
ISM Sensors Are Immediately Ready to Measure, Without Human Intervention
ISM's Plug and Measure feature makes sensor installation fast and error-free. Calibrate an ISM sensor in a convenient location, connect it at a measurement point, and immediately start measuring. The transmitter automatically recognizes the sensor, reads the calibration and other data stored on it, and configures itself appropriately.
ISM Predictive Diagnostics Data Are Calculated Inside the Sensors and Are Transferable to Any Platform
The microchip in ISM sensors calculates the diagnostics data, which is then stored internally and output for access through all common process control and asset management platforms. You can view ISM diagnostics in a maintenance shop, control room, on a handheld device, or in a remote location.
ISM Data Enables Process Automation Without Complicated Data Analytics or Interpretation
The unique combination of unambiguous measurement, asset and predictive diagnostics data from ISM sensors enables automation of processes without further data analytics, interpretation, or additional hardware.

FAQs
If I want to use ISM sensors, do I need to convert all my measurement points to ISM?
No, you can start with one ISM measurement system and build from there.
Why do ISM sensors calculate their diagnostics internally?
It is possible to take data from a sensor and use external software or another device to interpret the data and calculate diagnostics information. However, use of external devices adds complexity to the system. ISM sensors make all the diagnostic calculations in their on-board microchip, and the diagnostics data is available through all common asset management and process control solutions.
Do I need a cloud to benefit from ISM?
No, the only devices you need are ISM sensors and ISM transmitters. The transmitter sends the measurement results, asset data and predictive sensor diagnostics data to any common process control or asset management platform. There is no need for edge devices or other hardware/software, nor are data analytics or interpretation required to benefit from data which can be used for predictive maintenance schemes or any automated process.
What is Plug and Measure?
Plug and Measure is an ISM feature that enables fast, error-free sensor installation at measurement points. In analog analytical measurement systems, a senor’s calibration data is held in the transmitter it is connected to. It is not possible to calibrate a sensor on one transmitter and use that sensor on another transmitter unless calibration is done again. ISM sensors retain their calibration data, which means a calibrated sensor can be connected to any ISM transmitter and no further calibration is required (unless a process calibration is necessary). Once a calibrated ISM sensor is connected to an ISM transmitter, the transmitter reads the calibration and other data from the sensor and configures itself automatically. Therefore, the system is ready to measure again very quickly.
