Siemens Milltronics Process Instruments Inc. (SMPI) designs and manufactures level measurement tools for use in mining, food and chemical processing, water and wastewater, cement and dry bulk storage. SMPI is committed to environmental management and became ISO 14001 certified in 2008[1].
SMPI was founded on June 21, 1954 as Milltronics Ltd. by Dave Weston and was later acquired by Siemens in 2000. Its breakthrough was in the late 1970s when it pioneered ultrasonic level measurement. In 1984 Milltronics became the first manufacturer of microprocessor-based ultrasonics instruments with the AiRanger IV.
