The best things come in small packages. I’ve heard that phrase many times. Recently the engineering team at Burns has been working on a stealth project to evaluate material and process approaches for the purpose of; mini, tiny, micro and just little RTD’s. We code named the project SLIM and gave it a mascot….
We discovered some interesting materials and process options, and broke a few assumptions and perceived constraints. Then, in the design mode, applied these ideas and created a few new RTD’s for various applications throughout the BioPharma, Food & Beverage, PetroChem and Ethanol industries. These little RTD’s play a role in Bearing temperature monitoring, product transit condition monitoring and various surface sensing and tight locations where addition temperature profile and awareness is important to the process.
The team had a blast think beyond the rules, historical approaches and known materials. In true “achieve, change and improve” mode, we are doing it again.
