Environmental Measurements and Controls (EMCON) is an award-winning engineering firm based in Kochi, Kerala, specialising in indigenous sensors, measuring instruments, and data acquisition systems. Established over three decades ago, EMCON develops solutions for ocean technology, meteorology, agricultural sciences, dam safety, water management, and environmental monitoring.
EMCON was founded on the belief that advanced measurement technology should be developed to suit local conditions. By designing both hardware and software around customers’ specific requirements, the company provides solutions to complex scientific and engineering challenges, reducing dependence on expensive imported instruments.
Three decades of engineering, research and innovation.
Indigenous Thermistor Chain Developed
A 25-sensor online thermistor chain is developed for CSIR-NIO, Visakhapatnam, recording thermocline data during multiple field deployments.
National R&D Award
Managing Partner T.S. Sreejith receives the National Award for Research & Development from the Ministry of MSME, Government of India.
Cassava Starch Meter
Developed with ICAR–Central Tuber Crops Research Institute to provide instant on-screen starch-content readings for cassava.
Building Comfort Monitoring System
A multi-sensor environmental monitoring system is developed with NIT Calicut for building comfort and energy-efficiency research.
Ocean Temperature Profiler
EMCON develops a fully digital ocean temperature profiling system in collaboration with NPOL and DRDO.
Four steps from first call to signed-off certificate.
Define the application
We begin with what needs to be measured, the operating environment, required parameters and the intended research or field application.
Engineer the solution
Our team develops the sensor, measuring instrument or data acquisition system around the specific technical requirement.
Develop it in-house
The system is engineered and assembled by EMCON, followed by testing to ensure reliable performance under its intended operating conditions.
Ready for real-world use
The completed instrument is prepared for field or laboratory deployment, with technical support from the team that developed it.
The people behind the innovation
Dr. T. K. Sivadas, a retired ICAR scientist and former professor at Cochin University, is the co-founder and visionary behind Environmental Measurements and Controls (EMCON). Driven by his belief in indigenous innovation, he established EMCON to develop reliable, cost-effective scientific instruments suited to Indian conditions, reducing dependence on expensive imported technologies. His pioneering contributions to sensor development and environmental monitoring laid the foundation for EMCON’s growth into a recognised name in scientific instrumentation. As a technology advisor, he continues to inspire the company’s commitment to research, innovation, and engineering excellence.
