IMI Norgren LLC Leaps into Lifestyle Tech with Smart Digital Picture Frames

Littleton, CO – November 8, 2023 – IMI Norgren LLC, a name traditionally associated with industrial automation and fluid control solutions, is making a surprising – and exciting – foray into the consumer electronics market with its new line of smart digital picture frames. While known for delivering robust and reliable pneumatic and electro-pneumatic systems, the Colorado-based company is proving its adaptability and innovation by bringing a fresh perspective to how people display and share their precious memories. For over 75 years, IMI Norgren has been a trusted partner to industries ranging from manufacturing and automotive to food processing and life sciences. Their core competency lies in engineering precision and building products that just work – a philosophy they've directly translated into their new digital picture frame offering. “We realized the same principles of reliable performance and user-friendly design that drive our industrial products can be beautifully applied to something people use every day, in their homes,” explains Sarah Miller, Product Line Manager at IMI Norgren. “It’s about simplifying lives, whether that’s on a factory floor or in the living room.” More Than Just a Screen: The IMI Norgren Frame Difference The market is already crowded with digital picture frames, so what sets the IMI Norgren frame apart? It's not just about displaying photos; it’s about how it displays them, and the ease with which users can manage their content. “We’ve been listening to what people don’t like about existing frames,” says David Chen, lead engineer on the project. “Clunky apps, complicated setup, and frustrating connectivity issues – those are all pain points we’ve tackled head-on.” Here’s a breakdown of the key features that make the IMI Norgren digital picture frame stand out: Seamless Cloud Integration: Forget emailing photos or fumbling with USB drives. The IMI Norgren frame connects effortlessly to your favorite cloud storage services – Google Photos, Dropbox, iCloud Photo Library – meaning your memories are always up-to-date. Automatic syncing ensures new photos appear on the frame within minutes of being uploaded. Dedicated Mobile App – Simplicity Redefined: The IMI Norgren app (available for iOS and Android) isn’t packed with unnecessary features. It's designed to do one thing – manage your frame – and it does it beautifully. You can easily upload photos directly from your phone, create playlists, set schedules, and even remotely manage multiple frames. High-Resolution Display – Vibrant and Clear: Available in 10.1-inch and 15.6-inch sizes, the frame boasts a stunning IPS display with a 1920x1080 resolution. Photos appear crisp, vibrant, and true-to-life, making every memory shine. Motion Sensor – Smart Power Management: The built-in motion sensor detects when someone is nearby and automatically turns the frame on, displaying your cherished photos. When no one is around, it enters a sleep mode, saving energy and extending the life of the display. Remote Management – Family Connection: Grant access to family members and friends so they can contribute photos directly to the frame. It’s a fantastic way to stay connected and share memories with loved ones, even from afar. Ideal for grandparents, parents living in different states, or simply keeping the whole family in the loop. Built to Last – IMI Norgren Reliability: This isn’t a flimsy consumer gadget. IMI Norgren’s commitment to quality engineering shines through in the frame’s robust construction and durable components. They've even incorporated an enhanced cooling system to prevent overheating and ensure long-term reliability. Multiple Display Options: Beyond slideshows, the frame supports video playback and can even display a clock and calendar, making it a versatile addition to any room.
