Fig. 1 shows a nameplate for a fictitious electromagnetic flowmeter, tag FT-101, DN 100, with ordering code DF200-100-P16-F2-S3-A1 and the key for each segment. A hard rubber liner is excluded because the process runs at 95 °C and the liner limit is 80 °C. Below, a simulated 4-20 mA signal of about 12 mA, 60 cubic metres per hour, is drawn against a high alarm threshold at 16 mA, 90 cubic metres per hour, which sends an email.

02 · Field notes16 years, four patterns

Sixteen years of selling instruments. The same four problems, again and again.

I have specified flowmeters, transmitters and control valves for manufacturers and distributors, working with contractors and end users, from single workshop orders to large projects. These are the patterns I saw from the inside, and what I build instead.

#PatternWhat I sawWhat I build instead
N.01The quote waits for the one person who knows the range.Every non-standard enquiry goes to one or two people. When they are busy or away, the customer waits, or buys elsewhere.I sit with those people and write their rules down, in your product’s language: a tool that knows a Class 300 flange from a PN 40 one. It asks the questions they ask, for every customer and distributor, at any hour.
N.02The in-house configurator in its third year.An internal project starts well, then competes with daily work. Three years on, it still does not quote.A fixed scope sized to finish, and a working demo in your brand before you sign anything.
N.03The tool that left with its vendor.A hosted selection tool goes offline: the vendor is sold, closes, or is hit by a cyber-attack. The rules inside it go too.You receive the source code and the files. The tool runs on your website, your intranet or a laptop, with or without me.
N.04The signal that ends at a terminal block.A transmitter measures all day, but the reading stays on a local display or in a system few people can open.The same 4‑20 mA or Modbus signal travels over 4G or NB‑IoT to a page the right people read on a phone or a wall screen.

One signal. Three screens. Your name on all of them.

A transmitter’s 4‑20 mA signal often ends at a local display, or in a control system only a few people can open. These pages take it where people do look: a web portal, a phone, a wall screen in the office. With history, thresholds and email alarms. Under your brand if you make the sensor; under your plant’s name if you run it.

Three frames, a web browser at monitor.your-brand.example, a phone and a 50-inch office wall screen, each show tag FT-101 inlet flow at about 60 cubic metres per hour, 12 milliamps, with a 60-second trend, a dashed high-alarm line at 90 cubic metres per hour and a status of normal.

05 · MethodFrom your catalogue to a working tool

You send the catalogue. You get back a working demo.

Most of a manufacturer’s selection knowledge sits with one or two people. My job is to get it out of their heads, structure it, and publish it as a tool that asks the questions they ask. Before you sign anything, you see your own range working, with your logo; for monitoring, your own signal on a page with your name.

Steps 0–3 cost you nothing but two working sessions with your engineer.

  1. 0

    Call

    Day 0

    Thirty minutes. You describe the range or the plant, and the problem; I show a tool for a case like yours.

  2. 1

    Study

    After the call

    You send the catalogue, price list and ordering-code key. I map models, options, rules and exceptions. For monitoring: what is measured, where, with which signal, and who needs to see it.

  3. 2

    Know-how sessions

    Two sessions

    With your sales engineer: the questions they ask, the combinations they refuse, the documents they send. They approve every rule.

  4. 3

    Demo in your brand

    Before any contract

    A working page and a short video with your logo, your range and your codes. You judge a result, not a proposal.

  5. 4

    Fixed price, then build

    Date in the offer

    Scope, price and delivery date agreed in writing before work starts.

  6. 5

    Pilot and handover

    At delivery

    Your team uses it on real enquiries and I adjust it. Then you receive the source code, deployed where you want it. Annual care is optional.

What you receive

MonitoringBuilt at a fixed price. Hosting, SIM data or per-point rental, where you choose them, are recurring costs stated in the offer. Readings are stored where you decide: hosted for you, with the provider and location named in the offer, or on your own server or PC. Nothing is written back to the plant.

06 · Pilot programme 2026–27Places open

A small number of pilot places, in four segments.

NH Tech Solutions is a young practice. From autumn 2026 I am building tools with a small number of pilot companies, a few at a time. Pilot companies contribute to the development cost and get a tool built around their range, with more of my time than any later client will get.

Open in four segments

  • Valves
  • Flow and level instruments, and their distributors
  • Pumps
  • Monitoring: sensor makers, utilities, machine builders

What a pilot gets

  • A study of your range
  • A demo in your brand before you commit
  • The tool built and adjusted with your team
  • Source code and handover
  • A say in what the tools do next

What I ask in return

  • A contribution to development, agreed in writing before work starts; for a pilot company it is the fixed price
  • Two sessions with the person who knows your range
  • Honest feedback
  • Permission to describe the project without your name, and by name only if you agree

STATUS UPDATED BY HAND · LAST UPDATE OCTOBER 2026

07 · Who builds itFounder-led

I have sat where your sales engineer sits.

I’m Roberto Alberio. For sixteen years I have sold and specified flowmeters, transmitters and control valves for manufacturers and distributors, working with EPC contractors and end users, from single workshop orders to large projects. I started building software because the same questions kept arriving, and the answers kept waiting for one person. NH Tech Solutions is where that experience becomes software. I work in Italian, English and French.

08 · QuestionsBefore the first call

Questions buyers ask before they write.

01How long does it take?

A first demo on your own range, in your brand: two to five working days from your catalogue. A configurator or a bid-package tool follows a few working sessions and a signed NDA, and its delivery date is written into the fixed-price offer. Speed is not what I sell, though. What I sell is a tool that gets your products right, built by someone from the trade, at a modest fixed price.

02What do you need from us?

Your catalogue and datasheets, the price list, the ordering-code key, and two sessions with the person who knows the range best. For a bid package, one real RFQ you can share under NDA. For monitoring: what you measure, where, and who should see it.

03Does it touch our IT or our ERP?

Not unless you want it to. The tools are static files on your website or intranet. A live price list or an ERP or CRM connection is a separate, optional step.

04Who owns the code?

You receive the complete source code with a perpetual, royalty-free licence to use, change and deploy it, also with another developer. Your rules, data, texts and branding are yours.

05What happens if NH Tech Solutions stops trading?

You already have everything: the files, the source code and the rules, documented. Any web developer can host and change them. That is the point of building it this way.

06Where does our data go?

For the sales tools: duty data, configurations and RFQs are processed in the user’s browser and are not sent to me. The enquiry goes to you only when the user sends it. For monitoring, readings are stored so the page can show history, on the server you choose, and nothing is written back to your plant. Your rules, prices and RFQs serve your tool only.

07Why not build it in-house, or with an AI tool?

You can. The hard part is not the form; it is the rules: which model fits which duty, which combinations your factory builds, what a compliant bid has to contain. These tools are built from rules your own engineer approves, and every answer can be traced back to one of them.

08Are the public demos built on a real manufacturer’s range?

No. The public demos run on fictitious ranges and simulated data. Your range is never shown to other prospects.

09What does it cost?

A fixed price, agreed after you have seen the demo in your brand and before work starts. It is sized so that the owner can approve it without a procurement project: no per-user licences, no subscription to keep the tool running. Annual care is optional.

10What are the monitoring pages not?

Not a control system, not a safety system and not a SCADA replacement. They show readings, trends and alarms, and never write back to the plant.
