Omniflex

The company was founded in 1965, formerly known as Conlog, specialising in process control, alarm/ event management and instrumentation products and systems.

In 1997, the original instrumentation business division of the company changed its name to OMNIFLEX Ltd.

Omniflex work across all business sectors including Pharmaceutical, Hospitals, Oil, Gas, Nuclear, Water, Electrical Distribution, Energy Monitoring etc.

The company has its offices in the UK, South Africa, and Australia, and the company’s products are sold on 5 continents. Product ranges include well-known brands such as OMNI SIL alarm annunciators, OMNITERM SIL signal conditioning, MAXIFLEX intelligent Remote Terminal Units and I/O systems and the MAXILARM/Omni 4000 Alarm/Event Management Systems.

We bracket ourselves as “Remote Monitoring Specialist”, using Data Acquisition Systems, with better than 1 mS timestamp at the IO point (from several I/O up to thousands of I/O),  Alarm Event Management including Multiplexing Systems, Telemetry Systems, Data2Desktop using standard web browsers, over varying forms of media and High Integrity (SIL1) Annunciator Systems. 

A particular area that Omniflex are also very strong in is obsolescence issues on old legacy alarm annunciators systems, we have in most cases a solution for replacement of Rochester, Highland and Robinson’s annunciator systems. Our alarm annunciator systems have been substantiated by Sellafield for and on behalf of all the nuclear operators, the case study attached explains this in more detail.

An area that we can offer customers significant cost savings is through the use of our CONET networking technology, which is supported by many of our RTU / PLC products.  Using our Conet network technology allows existing installed cabling to be used therefore significant cabling / installation costs can be avoided. A typical example of this whereby our customer in the Nuclear industry used our conet technology, retained their existing cabling and infrastructure, saved them in the region of £1M on cabling and scaffolding.

As a world-wide supplier, OMNIFLEX provides technical training, backup and application engineering support to a variety of industry partners including local distributors, value adding re-sellers and systems integrators, to provide superior levels of service to the end user.
