Ex-tech wireless microsensors for hazardous areas
Published 30 June 2022; updated 30 September 2026; 3-minute read. Ex-tech Group offers wireless microsensors for hazardous areas, attachable to cables, pipes and high-voltage fuses, including hard-to-reach locations. The page lists temperature, touch, proximity, water detection and humidity measurements; combinations of readings/algorithms can flag vibration, rapid heating or other warning signs. Alerts go to wind-farm technicians for remote assessment and corrective action.
The article says the sensors automate inspection 24/7, reduce periodic manual inspection, human error and offshore exposure, and support safety compliance. It recounts an installation where sensors found serious corrosion within an hour that prior manual inspections had missed. The units are described as glue-on installations, with Ex-tech training customers to install the first turbine and then complete further deployments themselves. The page says the sensors introduced in February 2021 were the first of their kind to receive Ex certification.
The article cites a wireless-sensor market forecast of USD 6.7 billion by 2026 (historical forecast) and quotes Ex-tech expecting 20–25% market growth. The company says it focuses on Asia, Europe and the Middle East and sees potential across renewable/conventional energy, hydrogen and pharmaceuticals. Availability: available.
