Founded in 2016 as a spin-off from Danaher Corporation, Fortive has quickly established itself as a leader in the technology industry. The company operates through two main segments: Professional Instrumentation and Industrial Technologies. These segments offer a wide range of products and services that cater to various industries such as healthcare, transportation, manufacturing, energy, and more.
Professional Instrumentation Segment
The Professional Instrumentation segment of Fortive provides advanced measurement tools for professionals across different industries. This segment includes brands such as Fluke Corporation - known for its high-quality electrical test equipment -and Tektronix - which offers innovative solutions for electronic design engineers.
Fluke Corporation has been providing reliable measurement tools since 1948. Its products are used by electricians, HVAC technicians, plant maintenance professionals worldwide to troubleshoot problems quickly and efficiently. Fluke's product line includes digital multimeters (DMMs), thermal imagers (infrared cameras), clamp meters (current clamps), insulation testers (megohmmeters), process calibration tools among others.
Tektronix is another brand under the Professional Instrumentation segment that provides advanced test equipment solutions for electronic design engineers worldwide. Tektronix's product line includes oscilloscopes (digital storage oscilloscopes or DSOs) spectrum analyzers signal generators among others.
Industrial Technologies Segment
The Industrial Technologies segment of Fortive provides critical technologies used in various industrial applications such as transportation systems like railways or airports; manufacturing plants; energy production facilities like oil refineries or power plants; water treatment facilities among others.
This segment includes brands such as Kollmorgen - known for its motion control systems-and Jacobs Vehicle Systems-which offers engine braking systems used in commercial vehicles worldwide.
Kollmorgen has been providing motion control solutions since 1916 when it was founded by Friedrich Kollmorgen who invented the first variable speed motor controller system called "the Kollmorgen Inverter". Today Kollmorgen's product line includes servo motors drives linear actuators rotary tables machine vision systems among others.
Jacobs Vehicle Systems is another brand under the Industrial Technologies segment that provides engine braking systems used in commercial vehicles worldwide including trucks buses RVs military vehicles etcetera Jacobs' patented "Jake Brake" system reduces wear on brakes while improving vehicle safety by reducing stopping distances during emergency situations.
Fortive's Commitment to Innovation
At Fortive innovation is at the core of everything they do. The company invests heavily in research & development activities aimed at creating new technologies that solve real-world problems faced by businesses today while also anticipating future needs so they can stay ahead of their competitors.
One example of this commitment to innovation can be seen with Fluke Connect™ – an app-based wireless system designed specifically for maintenance professionals who need quick access to data about their equipment performance anytime anywhere using smartphones tablets laptops etcetera This app allows users not only monitor but also diagnose issues remotely without having physical access thus saving time money resources while increasing efficiency productivity overall.
Another example would be Tektronix’s IsoVu™ Isolated Oscilloscope Probes which provide safe measurements up-to 1kV common-mode voltage difference between two points on an isolated circuit board without requiring any additional isolation components thus reducing cost complexity risk associated with traditional methods.
Fortives' Sustainability Efforts
As part of its commitment towards sustainability efforts Fortives’ operations are guided by principles aimed at minimizing environmental impact while maximizing social benefits wherever possible throughout all stages from sourcing raw materials through disposal end-of-life management processes including recycling reuse repurposing where feasible possible.
Conclusion
In conclusion,Fortives’ diverse global team works together tirelessly every day delivering essential technology making our world stronger safer smarter than ever before through innovative products services across multiple industries backed up with strong commitments towards sustainability efforts ensuring long-term success growth opportunities both internally externally alike making them one-of-a-kind companies out there today!
