Technology

Innovation, the creative application of technology to overcome challenges and resolve problems, has been fundamental to Fusion’s success. Some current examples are given below:

Software engineering/electronics. RedBox is a telemetry module which automatically records and transmits butt fusion and electrofusion joint data. This data can also include photographs taken by the integral digital camera, Cyclops. Taken together, this technology could have a major impact on polyethylene pipe joint integrity.
