In today’s fast-paced industrial world, the migration of telemetry systems and control equipment to newer technologies is becoming not just an option, but a necessity. These changes allow for increased efficiency, reliability and safety in industrial operations. An example of such a transformation is the evolution from the MT-101 telemetry module to the MT-121, which perfectly illustrates the benefits of modernisation.
In 2002, the MT-101 telemetry module made its market debut as a simple tool for sending short SMS messages. Initially it served a modest function, but over the years it has undergone a remarkable transformation. It has evolved from a simple controller into an advanced, reliable unit that has become the foundation of many telemetry systems. Thanks to its ability to integrate measurements from a variety of devices, the MT-101 has gained status as the heart of autonomous industrial facilities, enabling precise monitoring and management of processes in real time. Today, it exemplifies the dynamic development of telemetry technologies to meet the growing demands of modern industry. Despite the passage of years, the MT-101 is still in operation at thousands of installations around the world, a testament to its reliability and durability.
As is usually the case with technological developments, the availability of modern components and increasing market demands meant that the well-deserved MT-101 device lived to see its successor, the MT-121. The new design gained a number of improvements that allowed even more efficient integration with various systems, as well as the implementation of more advanced operating algorithms. The MT-121 introduced new functionalities and higher performance, while maintaining the reliability that was the hallmark of its predecessor.
The MT-121 offers a number of improvements over the MT-101 that translate into real benefits for users:
There are a number of benefits to migrating to newer platforms, such as the MT-121:
The migration of telemetry systems from MT-101 to MT-121 is a natural step in the evolution of industrial technology. New functionalities, higher performance and better integration with modern systems translate into real benefits for users. With the development of GSM technology, the future of industrial telemetry looks even more promising, offering even greater opportunities for real-time monitoring and process management.
Each installation has unique characteristics depending on the specifics of the company in question and therefore requires an individual approach. Nevertheless, a few key elements can be identified. Migrating from MT-101 to MT-121 requires careful planning, taking into account technical and organisational aspects. The first step is a system audit to identify strengths and areas for improvement. Next, the needs of the business and the capabilities of the new device, the MT-121, should be analysed. The next step is detailed migration planning, including configuration, installation, integration and testing. The process should be staged to minimise the risk of disruption, and staff should be trained accordingly. After installation, testing is carried out, optimising the system to realise the full potential of the MT-121.
If this is the case, you should consider choosing the MT-151 LED or MT-151 HMI devices. If you have any doubts or need help, take a look at the device selection file we have prepared or contact the Inventia team.
