Exalon Delft

What Exalon Delft does

Exalon Delft B.V. is a privately held Dutch electronics engineering firm founded in March 2004 by Ferry Toth, Erik Schnitger, and Willem-Jan de Hoog, headquartered at the Radex Innovation Centre in Delft. The company specializes in explosion-safe (ATEX/IECEx) analog and digital instrumentation for hazardous-area industrial environments, with a focus on tank gauging in the oil and gas, petrochemical, and bulk liquid storage industries. Its product portfolio includes universal tank thermometer interfaces (X62T family with eight protocol variants, and X59T), Bi-Phase Mark communication interfaces (UCI-108), a Universal Gauge Emulator platform (UGE-207-CONNECT and UGE-207-MSTP), a Universal Tank Gateway (UTG-306), a TRL/2 Universal Bus Modem (UBM-180), the HPAL2 HART V7.7 slave protocol stack, and a HART Test Bench tool. Underlying technology covers intrinsically safe (Ex ia) hardware including proprietary PCB-trace Ex transformers with sub-1 mW loss, capacitive measurement to 0.1 fF accuracy, and Smartec SMT130 temperature sensor integration at 0.002°C resolution.

The company maintains ISO 9001:2015 certification (renewed September 2025), an ATEX Notification covering Ex e, Ex i, and Ex t for Category 1 and 2 equipment (scope extended October 2024), and an IECEx QAR issued by DEKRA. It earns revenue through two streams: own-brand hardware sales of proprietary tank gauging and explosion-safety products, and ATEX/IECEx development, consultancy, and contract manufacturing services (Ex Development, Ex Consultancy, Ex Electronic Design, Ex Production) sold to third parties. Go-to-market is exclusively indirect through a global network of exclusive and non-exclusive distributors across 20+ countries in LATAM, Europe, MEA, and Asia-Pacific, supplemented by annual international Partner Events. Pricing is quote-based, with flexible multi-tier licensing (e.g., BASE/PLUS/PREMIUM) for software-enabled platforms.

Core offering

Exalon Delft designs, develops, and manufactures electronic instrumentation for explosion-hazardous (ATEX/IECEx) environments in the process, petrochemical, and tank storage industries. The company sells its own-brand products (tank thermometer interfaces, fieldbus communication interfaces, gauge emulators, HART protocol stacks) through a global distributor network, and provides ATEX development, consultancy, electronic design, and certified production services to third parties.

Product overview

Exalon Delft is a specialist in explosion-safe industrial measurement electronics for the oil and gas tank storage and petrochemical industries. The product portfolio is organized around protocol conversion and integration for Honeywell-Enraf tank gauging systems. The X62T and X59T are universal tank thermometer interfaces that connect temperature probes (thermocouples and Pt100 RTDs) to various tank gauges. The UGE-207 is a Universal Gauge Emulator platform with two application packages: UGE-207-CONNECT bridges 4-20 mA, HART, or Modbus instruments to the Honeywell-Enraf BPM fieldbus, while UGE-207-MSTP integrates Multi Spot Temperature Probes for average product temperature calculations. The UCI-108 is a universal Bi-Phase Mark communication interface supporting multiple protocols and multi-node configurations. The UTG-306 is a tank gateway for small tank farms, and the UBM-180 is a TRL/2 universal bus modem for Emerson-Rosemount fieldbus systems. Supporting software includes HPAL2 (HART V7.7 protocol stack) and HART Test Bench (HART conformance testing tool), plus the Smart HART Modem hardware. Exalon Delft also provides ATEX development, consultancy, and manufacturing services to third parties. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified.
