You want data from your analytical sensors wherever it's required. ISM™ measurement points can be easily incorporated into your facility without major infrastructure investment, time-consuming configuration, or verification efforts.
Once integrated, you can receive information from ISM sensors wherever required, allowing you to:
All data comes from the sensors. External components such as edge devices or external clouds for processing and accessing data are not required.

This short video looks at why ISM sensors are so useful and how it helps companies across the globe to maintain high product quality:
ISM's Plug and Measure feature makes sensor installation fast and error-free. Calibrate an ISM sensor in a convenient location, connect it at a measurement point, and immediately start measuring. The transmitter automatically recognizes the sensor, reads the calibration and other data stored on it, and configures itself appropriately.
The microchip in ISM sensors calculates the diagnostics data, which is then stored internally and output for access through all common process control and asset management platforms. You can view ISM diagnostics in a maintenance shop, control room, on a handheld device, or in a remote location.
The unique combination of unambiguous measurement, asset and predictive diagnostics data from ISM sensors enables automation of processes without further data analytics, interpretation, or additional hardware.

No, you can start with one ISM measurement system and build from there.
It is possible to take data from a sensor and use external software or another device to interpret the data and calculate diagnostics information. However, use of external devices adds complexity to the system. ISM sensors make all the diagnostic calculations in their on-board microchip, and the diagnostics data is available through all common asset management and process control solutions.
No, the only devices you need are ISM sensors and ISM transmitters. The transmitter sends the measurement results, asset data and predictive sensor diagnostics data to any common process control or asset management platform. There is no need for edge devices or other hardware/software, nor are data analytics or interpretation required to benefit from data which can be used for predictive maintenance schemes or any automated process.
Plug and Measure is an ISM feature that enables fast, error-free sensor installation at measurement points. In analog analytical measurement systems, a senor’s calibration data is held in the transmitter it is connected to. It is not possible to calibrate a sensor on one transmitter and use that sensor on another transmitter unless calibration is done again. ISM sensors retain their calibration data, which means a calibrated sensor can be connected to any ISM transmitter and no further calibration is required (unless a process calibration is necessary). Once a calibrated ISM sensor is connected to an ISM transmitter, the transmitter reads the calibration and other data from the sensor and configures itself automatically. Therefore, the system is ready to measure again very quickly.
