Torino Power Solutions enhances
PLM Sensor System and explores
opportunities in Iraq

T
orino Power Solutions Inc, as
part of its continuous technology
development efforts, has announced
that its engineers over the past month
have further enhanced design features for
manufacturing its Power Line Monitoring
sensor system (PLM) reducing costs of
production and improving reliability at the
same time. Highlights of the system include:
• Engineers have developed a new thermal
contact insulator that can be of made of
silicon cast, replacing the PTFE machined
part used before. This will reduce the cost
of production of this component by a
factor of almost 20 times. The previous
insulator was one of the more expensive
components of the sensor.
• Software engineers have made significant
changes to the PLM system database
architecture and interoperability to
improve integration with Internet of
Things (IOT) platforms. Real-time power

line temperature data produced by Torino
sensors, used for dynamic line ratings, will
be easier to access via the web, reducing
the need for middleware. Torino’s web-
based data console, for utility asset
managers, now updates 10 times faster.
Furthermore, changes to the database
architecture will allow for enhanced
control of interrogators in the field.
• The company has reduced cost of
production to the sensor clamping
mechanism by a factor of 10 times by
moving to a die cast process.
The company also updates that it has been
working with a U.K. based engineering firm
that has existing business and projects in
the Iraqi market. Torino was approached
regarding its PLM temperature sensors and
in the last few months, the UK engineering
firm has introduced the PLM to three
transmission operators in various regions
of Iraq.
Rav Mlait, CEO, said: “We’re excited with
these significant strides in improving Torino’s
IOT sensor technology for utilities. This
includes reducing the cost of production of
key components.” n
