In a significant stride towards revolutionising industrial operations, today we announced the release of our newly redesigned IMI TWTG NEON Valve Sensor. This launch marks a pivotal development in how industrial engineers monitor and manage valve activities, ensuring enhanced safety and operational efficiency through cutting-edge IoT connectivity.
The NEON QT Valve Sensor, distinguished by its adaptability, now features an entirely redesigned assembly for universal compatibility with any quarter-turn valve on the market. This innovation, coupled with a user-friendly 45-degree slotted bracket, enables rapid deployment, allowing for installation in under two minutes without valve operation or the need for calibration. This deployment with zero downtime is particularly suited for valves that cannot be adjusted during installation, such as those in continuous processes.
Reflecting on the journey towards this innovation, Sanne van Wingerden, Senior Product Engineer for IIoT, stated, “Adjusting the bracket design was a real learning curve. We listened to our customers’ engineers in the field, understood the oversight of our initial design, and made significant improvements. It’s been a constructive process that has ultimately led to a much better product.”

The NEON Valve Sensors themselves have not changed. Engineered to withstand harsh and hazardous environments, the NEON Valve Sensor has been rigorously tested and certified to operate safely in explosive atmospheres (ATEX zone 1 / IECEx class 1), with a temperature range from -40 to +80 degrees Celsius. Its design not only ensures safety and practicality by positioning the sensor away from any potential accidental contact but also supports IMI’s commitment to durability, adaptability, and user convenience.
Valve position monitoring with NEON Valve Sensors enables a more efficient and streamlined operation minimising loss of containment. With the new universal bracket, the valve line-up remains unchanged during installation, ensuring zero downtime deployment. The redesigned NEON QT Valve Sensor is a testament to IMI’s dedication to responding to the needs of the industry, reinforcing its role as a leader in industrial IoT solutions.
