Starbox De Visu
Description
Starbox De Visu is an RTU designed to control and manage pressure reduction and gas metering stations, even under harsh environmental conditions.
It combines the typical features of a datalogger with advanced process control, multi-device connectivity, and remote wireless communication.
The system enables remote pressure regulation, flow control and limitation, multi-line flow splitting, remote monitoring and disconnection, as well as other advanced computational functions.
Overall, it optimizes gas network operations, reducing both operational costs and energy consumption.
