Technology type

Technical advantages and economic benefits

The ION-5 device:
- allows you to measure and track changes in three components and modulus of permanent magnetic fields in almost all possible cases (the field of Earth, residual magnetization of products, fields of permanent magnets) through a single converter;
- is a portable measuring tool and requires no additional power supply.

Technology differentiation and uniqueness

The ION-5 device is a portable measurement tool that does not require AC power and makes it possible not only to measure three components and module of induction of permanent magnetic fields in a wide range through a single converter, but also monitors changes of these parameters in real time.

Context in which technology was identified

ION-5 devices are introduced and exploited by a number of republican enterprises (Transport Republican Unitary Enterprise “Minsk Department of Belarusian Railway”, locomotive depot of Lida, Volkovysk, etc.).
