NEW YORK — Imperial’s iManifold™ uses a smartphone or tablet as the user interface, leveraging the smart device’s processing power, communications, GPS, and other features to make the process of troubleshooting, charging, reporting, servicing, and assessing equipment performance faster and easier, says the company.

The app features built-in onboard diagnostics that allow an entry-level technician to be as productive as a veteran tech, the company says, and remote communications allow a service manager, factory support, or other field support representative to see the readings on the iManifold in real-time and offer service advice.

With its intuitive user interface, high-precision durable sensors, and reporting, the iManifold offers remote connectivity and support through screen sharing, data, audio, picture, and video, as well as onboard diagnostics to get problems solved quickly.

The product won an AHR Expo Innovation Award in the Tools and Instruments category.
