ORLANDO, Fla. — For the HVACR technician in the field every day, having the appropriate testing and monitoring equipment is essential to his or her job. Manufacturers understand this and have worked to integrate new technologies into their latest products in order to increase technician efficiency, measurement accuracy, data collection and storage, and ease of use. Many of these new testing and monitoring products were on display last month at the AHR Expo in Orlando, Florida, where manufacturers showcased and demonstrated their newest, smartest products.
Santiago Duval, product manager for Fluke Electrical Products, current clamps, Fluke Corp., said generational changes in the workforce, changes in communication, and changes in maintenance philosophies are shaping the testing and monitoring market.
