Emerson acquires Locus Traxx and Paksense and expands its capabilities and provides consistent and safe control of food and other temperature-sensitive goods.

Consumers overwhelmingly trust their grocery store to ensure the food they buy is safe, but for most food we eat, the store shelf is the end-point of a seldom-considered journey that may span thousands of miles and change hands multiple times. With the requirements of the Food Safety Modernization Act beginning to take effect in 2016, food transport is coming into the spotlight for the first time.

Emerson is pleased to announce the introduction of its new DX3, an electronically operated expansion device that provides precise control of refrigerant flow and system superheat. The DX3 uses a high-resolution linear stepper motor actuator with a “dry” stator, allowing for excellent field serviceability, flexibility, and high reliability.
