Today, Murray Equipment and ICS announced the launch of the highly anticipated ICS 480, the next evolution of the industry-proven ICS 360 control platform.

Designed for larger, more complex facilities, the ICS 480 delivers expanded capacity, enhanced connectivity, and greater flexibility to meet the growing demands of modern liquid handling operations. The system supports more than 100 products, up to 30 high-speed meters, 32 standard meters, 32 Ethernet meters, 2 serial scales, 8 analog connections, 384 Ethernet valves, 48 standard outputs, and 16 high-current outputs.

The ICS 480 can manage up to six systems simultaneously, with up to six loadout points per system. Additional capabilities include support for up to three premix skids, unattended loadout operations, and a variety of facility configurations. Operators can access the system through touchscreen controls, desktop computers, remote HMIs, tablets, and other smart devices.

"The ICS 480 represents the natural progression of our technology platform and our continued commitment to innovation," said Todd Scobie, MEI/ICS Sales and Marketing Manager. "As new technologies emerge, the ICS 480 is built to integrate with the latest advancements, helping customers maximize efficiency, connectivity, and operational performance."

While the ICS 480 becomes the preferred platform for new large-scale installations, ICS remains fully committed to supporting existing ICS 360 customers. The ICS 360 continues to be a powerful, reliable, and feature-rich control system, and there are no plans to discontinue support.

The introduction of the ICS 480 marks an important milestone in the evolution of the ICS product family, providing customers with a clear path forward while protecting their investment in existing systems.
