Facing the Inevitable: Sensor Obsolescence, Mitigation Strategies, and Alternatives

Obsolescence. If its only difficulty was remembering how it is spelled it wouldn’t be so bad. And whether you’re trying to replace a sensor that has failed with age or are a manufacturer who can no longer source an important sensor, obsolescence of an inexpensive sensor can create extremely expensive headache. At Everight Position we help customers to understand the causes of sensor obsolescence, explore mitigation strategies and find alternative solutions.

Position Sensors for Hazardous Locations

When choosing components for a hazardous environment it is important to have a trusted partner. For over a decade engineers have relied on Everight Position for rotary, linear and tilt sensors for these challenging applications.

When COTS Isn’t Enough: Why You Need a NIST 800.171 Compliant Supplier Like Everight Position

The COTS Conundrum: In today’s digital landscape, Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) sensors seem like an easy button for compliances purposes. They’re readily available, cost-effective, and offer familiar functionality. But when it comes to identifying strategic suppliers, COTS alone isn’t enough.

Redundant Encoder Options

In the world of rotary encoders, modern non-contact sensing technologies and high MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) specifications are standard. However, in critical applications, redundant sensors are still a necessity. When selecting a solution, several criteria need to be considered, and fortunately, various options are available to simplify the task. Understanding Redundancy in Encoders The […]
