This year’s NDA Supply Chain event was held on Thursday 3rd November 2016 at Event City in Manchester and was yet another great day for everyone in attendance. There were over 1500 visitors at the event and it was a particularly successful day for everyone involved here at Omniflex, when we were announced winners for the 'Best Example of Innovation by an SME' Award for 2016. The award was received for the Innovative Radiological Protection Node (RPN1) which was designed to simplify the process of gathering data from Lab Impex, Canberra and other Radiation Monitors. By combining all of the required features in a standard COTS (Commercially-Of-The-Shelf) product the Teleterm RPN1 provides trouble free installation and set-up. Within minutes, the data from Radiation monitors can be read on Radiological Surveillance SCADA Systems.

Benefits

  • Proven substantial cost savings on conventional radiological monitoring systems
