IntelliSAW is one of the leading providers of next generation wireless sensor systems for smart grid applications. The company recently announced that it has entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Adperc of Brazil. Adperc is one of the leading suppliers of critical test, control, and monitoring equipment for the electric power industry. The company has offices in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro.

Adperc will now offer distribution, system integration and marketing services for IntelliSAW's innovative wireless/passive temperature monitoring system throughout Brazil in electric power transmission and distribution systems.

In a release, Adalberto Pereira Junior, commercial director of Adperc, said that, “We are excited to add the new state-of-the art IntelliSAW electrical monitoring system to our range of solutions in the Smart Grid space. The robust, flexible and highly-scalable architecture of the IntelliSAW system lends itself ideally to the inhospitable environments encountered in switchgear installations, as there is no longer any requirement to access the sensors after installation; reducing on-going maintenance costs, improving safety for service personnel and maximizing system uptime.”

The IntelliSAW's proprietary solution is a wireless solution and its sensors do not require any power. This helps with the ease of installation and system commissioning while also removing any threat of arcing or flashover concerns.  

Tom Cunneen, CEO of IntelliSAW said that “IntelliSAW is delighted to have secured Adperc as its exclusive distributor to the Brazilian market. Brazil is a huge growth area for Smart Grid technology and Adperc's significant presence in this market provides IntelliSAW with a strong partner in the region. Our next generation sensor system provides significant cost and safety advantages over legacy switchgear monitoring products and we believe can play a vital role in enabling Brazil's power generation market to scale up to meet the ever-increasing demands of its booming economy.”
