EC: SSG-RP Series Ultra-Wide Temperature UPS
Power - monitoring, protection - Falcon Electric Inc. - SSG-RP Series Ultra-Wide Temperature UPS. This rugged UPS gives users the ability to maintain their UPS once every 4-10 years. Users now get ~1 yr of life (esp hi-temp environments like control panels). This is a Control Engineering 2011 Engineers' Choice (EC) nominee.
Currently, “industrial UPS” are rated to 40 degrees C and feature a “line-interactive” design with a cheap, low-grade battery charger. The problem? Batteries get weak or die within a few years or, in hi-temp settings, months.
Our hi-temp on-line UPS has batteries rated to last up to 12 years at room temp, 4 years at 50 degrees C. Standard batteries last 6 months at 50 deg C. This rugged UPS gives users the ability to maintain their UPS once every 4-10 years.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
