2008 Channel Partner Meeting OPC Feedback Session Hans-Georg Horn TSI - Aachen Particle Instrument CP’s EUMEA, Thessaloniki - August 24, 2008
Objective • The purpose of this survey was to solicit your input towards the potential design of Optical Particle Counters (OPCs). • Based on your expertise in your respective country, you were asked to fill out the survey to the best of your knowledge.
Participation • The following 7 distributors in EUMEA have replied: • Alava Ingenieros • AMS Laboratory Technolgies • Danalytic • J.J. BOS • Luchsinger • Meteo-Tech • Stoelzle Oberglas Austria • Thanks for taking the time, now let’s have a look at the results…
Customer requirements for Air Pollution Research *) 1 x both but primarily number
Customer requirements for Toxicology *) 1x probably density problem
Estimate the Number of UnitsSold un Your Territory per Year Note: Spain seems to be the place to sell OPCs
Who are the players? • #1 Suppliers: • Met One (2x), PMS (2x), Grimm, Hach Ultra Metone • #2 Suppliers: • Grimm, PMS, Topas, Climet, Met One • Furthermore…. • Kanomax, FAS, Unitech, Lighthouse, IQAir
If TSI introduced an OPC, what obstacles would hinder our ability to succeed? To overcome each obstacle, what actions does TSI need to take? • 20 years track record and standardization (Hach in SA, $1 to 2M sales per year) • Lack of knowledge on this particular market; would need information on applications • Two competitors have been in market for long time. They compete with aggresive prices and good specs. TSI should compete in this sense (Met One, Climet in Spain) • The competition in the field of OPCs is very intensive in Israel. On the other hand, TSI has very good reputation as the particle instrument manufacturer. Thus, the key parameter for the successful introducing of the TSI OPC into the Israeli market, will be a competitive price of the instrument. • Make Dustrak equivalent to gravimetric in Europe (EN12341) - Enlarge number of channels for the number - Simultaneously measure PM10/2.5/1
