Technological trend
The migration from high-segment functions (Performance - Multifunction) to Basic and Value segments is
continuing due to the technological and competitive dynamics of the market.
The Performance and Multifunction segments confirm:
Trend to integrate in functions such as logic control, data logging, graphic operator interface, and
complex math functions in the PID controller.
Products dedicated to specific applications called application controllers
(Example: combustion control, oven controller, packaging, etc.).
• Purchase criteria for PID temperature controllers
Price, brand, local technical assistance, and installed base are the main aspects influencing the decision to
purchase controllers, but this is also strongly affected by:
Level of complexity in configuring the controller
Level of difficulty in using the controller
Special attention was paid to satisfying and resolving these last two aspects in developing Gefran’s new
generation of controllers.
