Trystar Acquires Cyber Sciences for Diagnosis and Prevention of Power Loss
Trystar announced the acquisition of Cyber Sciences Inc. to add sequence-of-event data monitoring and logging solutions to its product portfolio, allowing the quick diagnosis, resolution, and prevention of power loss events in critical facilities like data centers, hospitals, and airports.
Based in Murfreesboro, Tenn., Cyber Sciences produces high-quality specialty products for monitoring electrical power systems. Key solutions include Sequence-of-Events Recorders (SER) and GPS time reference and synchronization devices. Precision timing to one-millisecond accuracy and comprehensive recording of events is essential for power loss event reconstruction and post-event analysis. The captured data is easily integrated into any power monitoring system, including SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) and DCS (Distributed Control System) systems, for rapid response, root-cause analysis, and corrective action. It enables the prevention of unplanned events and outages, thereby reducing risks and minimizing costs and recovery time for critical infrastructure.
“The acquisition of Cyber Sciences complements Trystar's portfolio of high-quality solutions," said Trystar CEO A.J. Smith. "We already provide customizable electrical infrastructure products for power distribution, conversion, conditioning, or backup. Our solutions give customers an edge by allowing them to prevent or prepare mitigation for power outages proactively. The addition of Cyber Sciences enhances our power monitoring, diagnostics, and analysis capabilities with their world-class SER solutions. Further, the companies' cultures are complementary. Each offers extensive industry experience, customer focus, and passion for their products and the value they bring to our customers.”
Cyber Sciences was founded in 2000 and has been supplying products to the electrical industry since 2001. Like Trystar, all its products are manufactured in the United States. Independent third-party testing helps ensure product integrity. Growth in the data center market and the need for continuous, reliable, clean power have led to significant growth at both companies.
"Cyber Sciences is excited to join forces with Trystar to bring the advantages of precision timing and event recording to more customers and provide new solutions to the broader market," added Cyber Sciences president Myron Blackburn. “Trystar and Cyber Sciences understand the implication and costs of a power loss. Together, we can help customers minimize the impact of power system events.”
