What ORBIT MERRET does

ORBIT MERRET, spol. s r.o. is a privately held Czech industrial instrumentation manufacturer founded in 1990 and headquartered in Prague, with operational roots in Kyje and an active workforce in the 11-50 employee band. The company develops, manufactures, and sells digital panel measuring instruments (OMM 335 line, OM 403UNI, bargraph panel instruments), programmable logic controllers (PLCs with main and expansion modules), signal converters (OMX 300/200, OMX 390T for strain gauges), modular paperless recorders (OMR 700), large-area displays (standard and custom), DIN-rail power supplies, and specialized instrumentation for nuclear power plants. It also offers an IoT air quality monitor (OMT 1450), an intelligent robotic system (CAB.iQ), and a 5G-enabled drone management platform for precision agriculture (AGRIP), alongside custom manufacturing services such as PCB assembly, laser marking, and X-ray spectrometer measurement.

The technology stack centers on analog and digital signal acquisition and conversion (DC current/voltage, AC, Pt/Ni/Cu/NTC/PTC/TC temperature sensors, resistance, mV/V strain-gauge bridges, BCD, RS data, counters/frequency, LVDT), with PLC platforms supporting both centralized and distributed control architectures and PC-based visualization. Devices are configurable via DIP switches, USB interfaces, or companion PC software (OM Apps), with IP64-rated panel variants for harsh environments. The company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and IQNet certifications and operates a 31.20 kWp EU co-financed photovoltaic installation for own consumption.

The business model is hardware-led: products are configured and quoted per customer specification rather than sold at published list prices. Revenue streams include industrial instrumentation hardware sales and custom manufacturing services. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with regional representation for the Czech Republic and Slovakia, complemented by a dealer/reseller channel and complementary sensor partnerships (Novotechnik, TECFLOW). Customer acquisition relies heavily on the AMPER trade fair in Brno, the company website, and technical documentation/courses. End customers operate primarily in industrial automation, with secondary exposure to environmental monitoring and nuclear power generation.
