Smart valve monitoring for hazardous locations
ChargePoint Technology
This company has achieved hazardous-area certification (Class 1 Zone 0 and Class II/III Zone 21) from the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) for its Verifi smart-monitoring hub (photo). The Verifi system monitors usage of this company’s split butterfly valves (SBVs), which provide containment during manufacturing processes and are designed to increase sterility assurance for ingredient and small-component transfers in aseptic processing. Verifi continuously records valve use and provides data to proactively manage and maintain containment solutions, which helps to improve operator safety and risk management. The Verifi system already holds atmosphere explosive (ATEX) and International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) explosive (Ex) certifications, allowing the use of Verifi in hazardous environments in Europe.
