IRISS Acquires Safe-Connect, Expanding Predictive Maintenance and Electrical Safety Solutions

By STAFF REPORT

At IRISS, we are always looking for ways to enhance electrical safety and reliability with innovative technologies that help industries protect their assets and workforce. That commitment has led to the acquisition of Safe-Connect, a UK-based leader in thermochromic overtemperature indicators.

This strategic move comes just six months after IRISS and Safe-Connect first established a distribution partnership—a collaboration that proved to be a natural fit for both companies. Now, Safe-Connect’s award-winning thermochromic products officially join the IRISS Ecosystem, enhancing our ability to provide continuous, real-time overtemperature monitoring for electrical systems.

“We are excited to add the Safe-Connect range of products to our current electrical maintenance safety devices. The patented color-lock technology used in Safe-Connect products adds a unique dimension of protection to electrical asset management, giving both a visual and historical reference to cables and switches that are currently in an over-temperature condition or may have gone over-temperature between inspections.”

— Martin Robinson, Founder & CEO of IRISS

Revolutionizing Electrical Safety with Thermochromic Technology

Safe-Connect’s ThermoClips, ThermoWraps, ThermoSpots, and ThermoSpot-Bs provide a simple yet powerful way to detect overheating in electrical connections. These products change color permanently when exposed to excessive temperatures, providing a visual warning of potential failures or fire hazards.

By integrating Safe-Connect’s patented memory-effect thermochromic technology into our suite of reliability solutions, IRISS enables maintenance teams to:

• Detect overtemperature conditions 24/7—even between scheduled inspections.
• Improve predictive maintenance strategies by identifying problem areas before failures occur.
• Enhance worker safety by reducing direct exposure to live electrical components.
• Protect assets from costly damage caused by unnoticed overheating events.

A Perfect Fit for the IRISS Ecosystem

At IRISS, our mission has always been to provide cost-effective, scalable solutions that improve electrical system reliability. The addition of Safe-Connect’s thermochromic indicators to our patented polymer infrared windows and real-time asset monitoring technologies gives customers a multi-layered defense against electrical failures and fire risks.

For companies looking to enhance their electrical reliability strategy, the acquisition of Safe-Connect marks an exciting opportunity to leverage advanced predictive maintenance solutions. Contact us today to learn how Safe-Connect’s technology can help safeguard your operations and workers.
