This company has launched a new OEM‑configured variant of the Picomag electromagnetic flowmeter that is purpose‑built for liquid cooling applications in data centers and OEM cooling systems, providing users with a factory‑configured option designed for environments where instrumentation without wireless connectivity is required. Picomag devices are designed for accurate measurement of conductive fluids in small‑diameter pipelines, combining flow, temperature and conductivity measurement in a single device While the standard Picomag includes industry‑leading Bluetooth® technology that meets rigorous global cybersecurity standards, many data centers and OEM partners operate under policies that prohibit wireless communication of any kind. The OEM variant meets this operational preference by offering a Picomag model delivered with Bluetooth® deactivated from the factory, ensuring alignment with facility policies while maintaining all core Picomag performance capabilities. In this configuration, the device integrates seamlessly through IO‑Link or standard signal outputs — 4–20 mA current, pulse, switch or 2–10 V — offering a controlled starting point ideal for secure or regulated environments. Available in 1- and 2-in. sizes, these devices are ideal for compact rack or subsystem cooling circuits, while retaining a bright and auto‑rotating display, intuitive commissioning and built‑in diagnostic capabilities. — Endress+Hauser Group, Reinach, Switzerland
