ASR is a company that specializes in the research, design, and manufacturing of innovative sensor systems. Some of their offerings are at the cutting edge of the green electronics market, with products like their EcoPlug (patent pending), which reduces how much power a plug consumes while saving money. This plug uses metrics from the environment to design when to turn off and on, so it can be used for heaters and propane tank blankets to ensure optimal operation in all temperatures. 

This is just the tip of the iceberg. They have a range of products that help conserve energy, reduce bills, and make homes and businesses safer. All of their sensors and plugs are available on their website. A notable example of their innovation is the FROG (Forward Rate of Growth) sensor. This sensor is meant to work with active wildfires, to provide real-time data in conditions where firefighters can’t usually work. All of their products are made in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory.
