Transense signs exclusive distribution agreement with Adperc of Brazi

Just days after signing a significant distribution deal in China Transense has announced a similar arrangement in another emerging market. Transense’ trading division, IntelliSAW, has reportedly entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with Adperc of Brazil. Adperc has forecast sales of the IntelliSAW monitoring system in Brazil of at least $2.8 million over the next three years and will have to achieve this to maintain exclusivity in the territory. Adperc will provide distribution, system integration and marketing services for IntelliSAW's innovative wireless/passive temperature monitoring system throughout Brazil in electric power transmission and distribution systems. Like China before it, Brazil has been identified by Transense directors as a key geographical region for IntelliSAW.

Adperc is a supplier of critical test, control, and monitoring equipment for the electric power industry, with offices in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Founded in 1985, Adperc has established relationships with key players within the Brazilian power generation and distribution markets.

Adalberto Pereira Junior, commercial director of Adperc, commented: “We are excited to add the new state-of-the art IntelliSAW electrical monitoring system to our range of solutions in the Smart Grid space. The robust, flexible and highly-scalable architecture of the IntelliSAW system lends itself ideally to the inhospitable environments encountered in switchgear installations, as there is no longer any requirement to access the sensors after installation; reducing on-going maintenance costs, improving safety for service personnel and maximising system uptime.”
