About TTS Automation
TecTradeSolution GmbH (TTS Automation), based in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, is a manufacturer of solutions for explosion-proof industrial cameras (ATEX) for optical process and plant monitoring. The company plans, develops, programs, manufactures and installs customized system solutions for early hazard detection that monitor processes, evaluate image data optically or thermally, and are integrated into existing process control systems. The portfolio includes process monitoring and thermal cameras, a drum camera for 360° container inspection, high-temperature cameras up to 2,000 °C, and integrated safety and monitoring systems for data centers and critical infrastructures. Customers include BASF, Bayer, Lanxess and WAGO, among others; the systems are in operation at leading chemical companies worldwide. In addition to the chemical industry, TTS Automation serves waste management companies, glass manufacturing, the food industry and data centers.
