Jenlogix History

1984
Jenlogix registered as a NZ company, to provide Industrial and Embedding computer and IO and Display Solutions, to the many vertical markets in NZ and Internationally requiring Computerised Technical Solutions.

1984
Jenlogix was founded at a time when standardised PC based industrial IO interfacing technology was just starting to become available. Jenlogix started to work in this market by manufacturing their own products.
It specialised in Industrial Interface IO boards that were especially designed for harsh industrial environments. Jenlogix modelled a lot of their work around Serial Comms and using a PC running DOS. Using a PC was just starting to become a viable solution.

1984
Jenlogix also started to manufacture their own industrial computers with LCD screens and keypads, making some of the first Panel PCs in Australasia.

1984-1994
Jenlogix manufactured their own designed PCBs for LCD and keyboard controllers for use in their Panel PCs. They also made a variety of PC ISA bus plug in IO boards. They became famous for an excellent high speed RS-232/485 Protocol converter.
During this time period Jenlogix also made sensor interface conditioners for Weigh Scales and Temperature.

1992
One of the more difficult products designed and built was a V25 embedded DOS computer which was quite a feat. These were used as Real Time Industrial Controllers.

1993
They even made a Sound Synthesiser board before they were common. These were even used in Elevators as the comms unit.
If you look at the Schematics for these early Jenlogix Industrial Products it is very obvious they knew what they were doing with excellent designs and PCB layouts, with great care being taken to insure a tough Industrial result with Galvanic Isolation using Opto Couplers, Transformers and Isolated DC power supplies.

1990-2000
Jenlogix designed boards and computers were even OEM to other companies in NZ and Australia.

1995
Jenlogix started to find they could now buy off the shelf Panel PCs and Embedded SBCs with any required IO and sensor conditioners. The early Taiwan manufacturers like Advantech and Adlink were able to produce these products at lower costs due to volume. USA based companies like Diamond, Computer Boards, Data Translation and NI were ramping up to very professional plug in boards also. Ampro has just started the PC-104 Embedded Consortium standard, with a heap of IO boards available also.

1995
Jenlogix started a natural migration to becoming an Industrial Computer and Industrial Systems configuration company, by using their in house technical skills to build any specialised Industrial Systems required by their customers, by using “Off the Shelf” PC boards. They would even write code for these types of specialised systems. Early relationships were started with the suppliers that continue to this day with some of these early pioneer Taiwan manufacturers, such as Advantech, Arbor, ICPDAS, iBase, Winmate, ICOP and others.

2014
Jenlogix ventured into a new technology that became available. It is called the Palert, a cost effective but scientifically calibrated earthquake monitoring solutions for providing early warning of earthquakes, automatic system shutdown and rapid building structural health diagnostics. No one else had these level of product professionalism in this market.
The results now after 8 years, are quite clear. Since 2014 when Jenlogix started working in this special vertical market for sales, support and service with the Palert Seismic monitoring system, it has created hundreds of sites around the globe. Some of Jenlogix international clients include a Light Rail Network in Indonesia, dairy and mining companies in North and South America, with more sites coming on line each year. In New Zealand there are about 350 Palert sensors located in both islands. The Palert systems are used by many corporations and institutions in NZ: KiwiRail, Councils, University’s, Power Generation, Banking, Private business, Ports and Airports, Hospitals etc.
A unique and important feature of the Palert range of Seismometers is the Earthquake Early Warning (EEW) algorithm. This EEW operates like those in Japan and is based on calculations done on the quake’s early P-wave. At this stage only clients who have Palerts can benefit from the EEW.

In August of 2022, Jenlogix became a division of MasTec Ltd another High Technology company in NZ.
Today, Jenlogix sources standard PC and embedded computers and IO components, allowing it to support a much deeper and wider range of industrial, medical and laboratory system requirements. The capability now extends through the complete end-to-end processing cycle, from Data Capture, Communication, Processing and Display of mission-critical information.
Jenlogix designs, configures, source, builds and assemble all types of systems, including industrial computers, embedded systems, data entry / acquisition devices, communications servers and a wide variety of display technologies for heavy industrial / agricultural, pharmaceutical and Medical environments plus for less rugged specialised commercial environments.

As you can see from the above History of almost 40 years, Jenlogix has a long technical pedigree, a history of quality and a reputation for service.
Jenlogix looks forward to working with you on your next project requiring these skills.
