The Future of the Advanced Measurement Industry: A Vision of Precision, Safety, and Reliability

Posted to Maritime Reporter (by on August 10, 2025

As industries worldwide advance, the demand for precise and reliable measurement solutions becomes ever more critical. Advanced transmitters, like those offered by DUON System Co., Ltd. (manufacturer of the AUTROL brand), are poised to shape the future of the measurement industry.

1. Meets Industry Safety Requirements

In an era of heightened safety concerns, ensuring compliance with stringent regulations is paramount. AUTROL transmitters are designed to meet the toughest safety standards, including SIL (Safety Integrity Level) certifications for software and hardware. This ensures operators can rely on precise data even in high-risk environments, minimizing hazards and improving operational safety.

DUON System Co., Ltd. has extensive experience in critical applications such as nuclear power stations. The company’s ability to verify software validity and conduct rigorous hardware testing — including “Beyond DBA” tests for extreme temperature, pressure, and radiation — allows it to develop devices that perform safely even under demanding conditions.

2. Reliability Requirements from Diverse Applications

From oil & gas refineries to green energy plants, reliability is essential. AUTROL transmitters are engineered for stability under varying conditions, delivering consistent, accurate measurements in extreme temperatures or high-pressure environments.

Under Ex d conditions, sealing and leakage are major challenges. AUTROL’s Duo-Cell™ and Dual-Welding™ designs ensure critical sealing performance for demanding applications involving H2, NH3, hazardous gases, and high-pressure injection. Many AUTROL devices can be installed without additional sealing, depending on user needs.

3. Stable Supply Chain with Certified Quality

DUON System Co., Ltd., based in South Korea since 1989, specializes in manufacturing the AUTROL series. The company’s commitment to a stable, transparent supply chain ensures timely delivery of top-quality products. AUTROL maintains FM, ATEX, IEC, KCs, DNV, BV, LR, ABS, KR, SIL2, HART, IP66/67, and ISO certifications, and was the first company in Korea to achieve a Marine & Vessel certificate for pressure instrumentation.

4. Green Energy and Green Vessel Initiatives

DUON Systems has developed the AUTROL series for LNG, CNG, and FPSO applications, including two-/four-stroke engine lines, FGSS, SCR, EDG, LDCL, WTMS, WBS, and DPF. The company has secured licensing from MAN to apply the AUTROL series to MAN–ES designed engines. Looking ahead, DUON is collaborating with the Korean government on nuclear-powered, eco-friendly ship development.

Conclusion

As the measurement industry evolves, AUTROL transmitters continue to play a vital role in ensuring safety, reliability, and continuity. By prioritizing stringent standards, diverse applications, and dependable supply, AUTROL remains at the forefront of shaping a secure, efficient, and sustainable future for advanced measurement.
