Upgrade from Pixsys ATR121 to ATR144 – Key Features and Comparison-0

Pixsys has officially announced that the ATR121 temperature controller is no longer in active production. This decision is based on several factors: most customers have already migrated to newer models, key component sourcing has become increasingly difficult, production lead times have significantly increased, and manufacturing costs are expected to rise. Therefore, Pixsys strongly recommends planning the transition to the more modern and flexible ATR144 controller, which offers better performance and future-proof features.
