Industrial analytics board appointment.

The appointment of Anton Chilton to the Seeq Board of Directors has been announced effective immediately.

Anton Chilton

Chilton brings more than three decades of global technology leadership to Seeq, most recently serving as CEO of QAD Inc., a leading SaaS provider of ERP and supply chain solutions for global manufacturing companies. Over a multi-decade tenure at QAD, Chilton held leadership roles across sales, marketing, and professional services. Under his leadership, QAD accelerated its transition to SaaS, expanded through strategic acquisitions, and was taken private in a landmark transaction with Thoma Bravo in 2021.

“We are pleased to welcome Anton Chilton to our board,” said Pete Higgins, Chairman of the Seeq Board of Directors. “Anton’s expertise in SaaS for manufacturing, global supply chain, and enterprise operations—along with his proven track record of leadership—brings valuable perspective to Seeq at a pivotal stage of our growth. We look forward to Anton’s contributions as we accelerate innovation and deepen value for our customers.”

Following an early career in the British Royal Navy Submarine Service, Chilton began his technology career with British Steel and later held senior executive roles with world-leading systems integrators across Britain, South Africa, and Hong Kong.

"I am pleased to join Seeq’s Board of Directors,” said Anton Chilton. “As an enterprise technology leader, I see a significant opportunity for Seeq to continue driving innovation and accelerating digital transformation for manufacturers around the world. I look forward to supporting Seeq’s leadership team as they continue to execute their strategy and create measurable value for customers and stakeholders.”

Chilton will replace previous Board Director Ashley Kramer, who resigned in July 2025. Following the appointment of Chilton, the Board will be composed of seven directors and four observers with diverse backgrounds in corporate strategy, enterprise software, technology development, and engineering.

Higgins added, “On behalf of the Board, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to Ashley Kramer for her dedicated service as a valued board member. We wish her all the best in her future endeavors.”

Replacement oxygen sensor selector tool.

Analytical Industries Inc’s new online replacement oxygen sensor selector tool has been updated with a wider range of industrial electrochemical oxygen sensors. The company’s electrochemical oxygen sensors are renowned for their quality and performance, offering excellent accuracy and stability.

They are used by customers around the world to monitor safety, ensure quality and save energy in a host of industrial processes.

As well as providing sensors for their own range of industrial oxygen analyzers, Analytical Industries also produces replacement oxygen sensors for oxygen instrumentation from other manufacturers – such as AMI, Teledyne and GE.

This replacement industrial oxygen sensors selector tool makes it easy to find the correct sensor for analysers, searching either by manufacturer or model number. After selecting the correct sensor model and placing the order, replacement sensors are delivered in days.

Leak checking tanks.

When a tanker ship is having maintenance, the leak check of the tanks is an important part of the final safety procedure. For this, the tanks are purged with an inert gas, such as nitrogen, and an oxygen analyzer is used to check for trace oxygen levels in the purged tank. Depending on the type of vessel, the maintenance crews will need to be able to detect oxygen levels from 1000 ppm down to 50 ppm.

Portable oxygen analyzers, such as the GPR-1100 from Analytical Industries Inc. (AII), sister company of Michell in Process Sensing Technologies (PST),  are the preferred tools used for this purpose. They are light-weight so easily carried to the point of use, need little power to operate (the GPR-1100 operates continuously for 30 days, over 8 hours with the pump running, on a single battery charge) and will measure down to less than 10 ppm O2. Users like the simple and intuitive operation paired with a robust casing which prevents accidental damage in a heavy industrial environment.

To maximise the lifetime of the sensor, the GPR-1100 is available with quick-connect fittings to protect the sensor from ambient air when not in use, and users can expect sensors to last up to 24 months. Replacement sensors are easily available to buy and simple to fit.

A range of sample conditioning options are available for filtration, pressure reduction and flow control. As not all tanks have pressures positive enough to generate a flow to the analyzer, the GPR-1100 can be supplied with an internal pump.

The instrument is available with full ATEX certification for use in hazardous areas.
