A Loyal Companion Through the Times –

26 Years of MicroControl Quality

Some products become true unsung heroes over the years—devices that provide reliable service for decades before eventually reaching their end. One such product from our range has now reached its well-deserved retirement: After 26 years of tireless use at our customer’s site, the Temperature acquisition module has finally failed and was kindly returned to us as a museum piece. It carries the serial number 150998 043 and represents everything MicroControl has stood for over the past decades: quality, durability, and precision.

26 Years of Customer Service: A Milestone of Reliability

When we talk about 26 years, it’s more than just a number. It means that the µCAN.4.ti-BOX was in continuous service for over 9.490 days. In an era, when many technical devices devices are replaced after just a few years, this remarkable lifespan is an impressive feat. Our customers could always rely on the module, whether in demanding environments or in extreme conditions. It performed its job brilliantly, and that’s a clear testament to the quality and robustness of our products.

A Stylish Farewell – The Museum Piece

Now, after all these years, the µCAN.4.ti-BOX has found its way to the “museum” – not just to a shelf, but as a valuable keepsake of an era of reliable technology. Our customers could always rely on the module, whether in demanding environments or in extreme conditions. It performed its job brilliantly, and that’s a clear testament to the quality and robustness of our products.

We truly appreciate this gesture and see this BOX module as a piece of our history that makes us proud. For, it represents what MicroControl stands for: quality that lasts throughout the years.

MicroControl Serial Numbers: A Look Behind the Scenes

When we talk about the temperature acquisition module, we should not forget its serial number. The serial number 150998 043 tells an interesting story. It consists of several parts that provide important information about the product’s manufacturing date and production details:

  • 15: this number represents the day of the month the module was made – here, the 15th.
  • 09: indications the month of month of production – in this case September.
  • 98: denotes the year of manufacturing – so this module was made in September 1998.
  • 043: this is the sequential production number of this particular product in the series, making it uniquely identifiable.

It’s a system that helps us and our customers trace the exact origin of each product, even over a long period of time.

MicroControl Quality – a Promise that Lasts
