Acromag, Inc.〔(http://www.acromag.com/ )〕 manufactures embedded computing, process instrumentation, and distributed I/O products; combining more than 50 years of process monitoring and control experience with a solid background in high-tech computer design. Established in 1957, Acromag built its reputation designing critical measurement instrumentation equipment for the petrochemical and aerospace industries. It has since been a strong designer of analog and digital control products for the industrial I/O market. Acromag's experience in designing industrial I/O has paved the way for solutions to ground loops,〔(http://www.controlglobal.com/wp_downloads/120925-acromag-two-wire-transmitters.html )〕 RFI/EMI noise,〔(http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2011/07/12/new-head-mount-thermocouple-transmitter-provides-from-wixoms-acromag/ )〕 and temperature drift.〔(http://www.eetimes.com/electronics-news/4167827/Transmitters-resist-temperature-drift )〕 Many products are available with agency approvals such as UL, cUL, FM, CSA, CE, ATEX, and others to assure precise operation in hostile environments. Today, Acromag has two product divisions: (Embedded Computing Solutions ) and (Process Control and Automation Solutions ). The company’s product lines encompass a wide variety of I/O devices for manufacturing, military, scientific, public utility, and transportation applications. ==History== Acromag’s vision began in 1957 with (Henry Patton ), a pioneer in the development of solid-state magnetic amplifiers. Expanding from its first location in Detroit, Michigan (now Southfield), Acromag headquarters currently reside in Wixom, Michigan. Through the decades, Acromag has continued to develop new concepts and ideas, constantly striving for improvement. This ideal is maintained into 2012 when Acromag acquired the assets of Xembedded, LLC (formerly XycomVME).〔(http://vita-technologies.com/articles/business-changes-ahead/ )〕 This combination of product lines allows customers to have the advantage of a complete product solution, ranging from single-board CPU products to I/O solutions.
