DOD Technologies has been recognized by Semiconductor Review Magazine as “Top 10 Semiconductor Manufacturing Solutions Providers - 2024” based on our proprietary methodology, reflecting its position in the industry. This profile has been developed by the Semiconductor Review research and editorial team based on insights from an interview with Bob Blessing, National Sales Manager.
Bob Blessing, National Sales ManagerThis is where DOD Technologies adds value.
A leader in low-level gas detection systems, the company manufactures and supplies industry-leading gas detection equipment with high sensitivity and low response times to address the semiconductor industry’s safety challenges. It is home to seasoned experts from diverse industry backgrounds—chemical, technical and customer success professionals—all united by a shared purpose of raising the bar for safety.
For instance, the company‘s product development team, comprised of PhD chemists, engineers and subject matter experts, constantly seeks to innovate. Utilizing the latest advanced technologies, they develop innovative new systems with detection methods at increasingly lower levels. This mindset demonstrates their dedication to addressing market concerns, including solutions to replace outdated or obsolete legacy systems.
The team’s efforts are evident in the quality and breadth of DOD’s product line, which comprises a wide array of purpose-built products for various needs. For over 20 years, the company has offered reliable, technologically advanced products led by its ChemLogic® colorimetric gas detection systems – to ensure a safe and efficient workplace 24/7.
DOD Technologies’ most recent innovations include the patented VISION® 8 with EλE Sense Technology® and ChemLogic® Revive™ CL4R. The one-of-a-kind VISION 8 utilizes advanced optics to sense and distinguish between different gases within the same family. Its modern interface also records, evaluates and stores real-time monitoring results. While the CL4R serves to directly replace and upgrade legacy four-point monitors. It seamlessly integrates into existing rack systems or can be used as a tabletop unit.
“Safety is a non-negotiable parameter in the workplace,” says Bob Blessing, national sales manager of DOD Technologies. “Our mission is to deliver gas safety systems that address all concerns, allowing our clients to prioritize semiconductor innovation and provide stability to their product production process.”
“Monitoring and detection instruments uphold the fine line between worker safety and a life-threatening hazard in fabs. It is important that they are maintained in peak condition to ensure seamless operations,” states Blessing.
This commitment was exemplified during a recent client visit posed with a hydrocarbon detection challenge. DOD identified that their existing multi-point detection system was not ideal for detecting the target gas. DOD established a new, more efficient single-point system that gave better results and more consistent gas readings.
DOD’s efforts to understand its clients’ specific needs and limitations played a critical role in this story, a trend that continues throughout its client engagement process. The company evaluates and identifies key points to address clients’ requirements while identifying physical barriers and challenges to implementation.

“Monitoring and detection instruments uphold the fine line between worker safety and a life-threatening hazard in fabs. It is important that they are maintained in peak condition to ensure seamless operations,” states Blessing.
DOD offers both mail-in and on-site scheduled maintenance services. Their technical services team provides routine preventive maintenance and helps troubleshoot malfunctions to keep toxic gas management systems (TGMS) running optimally. These world-class support services help ensure the least possible operational downtime for safety systems requiring 24/7/365 protection.
The commercial sales team is DOD’s foundational pillar for service excellence. It is the point of contact focused on ensuring client expectations are met or exceeded.
The task’s magnitude becomes apparent when seen in context with DOD’s diverse clientele. This group includes large foundries, fabs, OEMs, tool manufacturers, research facilities and universities. The company’s manufactured systems are engineered and assembled in the USA before being distributed globally to meet the safety needs of these clients. Their expanded portfolio is further supported by products from several world-class manufacturing partners, including New Cosmos, ION Science, and Critical Environment Technologies.
In the fast-paced world of semiconductor manufacturing, safety can mean the difference between operational excellence and business-critical incidents. DOD’s systems stand as guardians against the semiconductor industry’s gaseous hazards, ensuring that its innovation journey continues without a hitch.

DOD Technologies Recognized As Top Manufacturer By Semiconductor Review
Dodd Technologies Deploys Upgraded Riedel Artist System at Record-Breaking U.S. Swim Trials
GER: Riedel Communications announce that its intercom technology was instrumental once again at the U.S. Team Swimming Trials held in Indianapolis. As athletes competed for a place in the 2024 world championship events in France, Dodd Technologies used the upgraded Artist-1024 digital intercom matrix, along with Bolero wireless intercom and SmartPanel interfaces. This state-of-the-art setup ensured seamless coordination of the high-stakes event, delivering flawless broadcast and streaming experiences for fans around the globe.
From June 15-23, as elite swimmers competed at the purpose-built pool at Lucas Oil Stadium,
Dodd relied on its Riedel systems - as well as the stadium’s built-in Riedel gear - to ensure flexible,
reliable communications. This setup was crucial for managing an in-house show of exceptional
sophistication and scale.
Dodd Technologies covered the swim trials four years ago in Omaha using a Riedel intercom system.
This summer, with an Artist-1024 in place of its previous Artist-32 systems, the event production company successfully managed communications across a larger team and the larger, more complex setting of Lucas Oil Stadium, which earned the title of world’s largest aquatic arena. The event itself garnered a record number of attendees, drawing 20,689 fans plus a total viewership of more than 285,000.
“Given our experience at past trials, we’ve become accustomed to the flexibility and the speed at which
we can deploy Artist and Bolero - and how we can alter the Riedel intercom system to the specific needs of the event as they arise,” said Caleb Cassler, Audio Engineer at Dodd Technologies. “Integrating the Artist system with the giant system already in place took a matter of minutes, and because we didn’t have to spend time solving technical issues, we could focus on refining the comms system to operate exactly as needed.”
Cassler’s team was able to connect their Artist-1024 to both the in-house Artist/Bolero system and the broadcaster’s OB truck with ease. With the Artist-1024 serving as the backbone of all communications, Dodd Technologies effectively increased the scale and functionality of its intercom system in a smaller footprint. Scale proved essential due to the sheer size of the stadium and the number of people needed
on comms across that space to support the event. In addition to providing clear audio despite the densely crowded airspace, Bolero offered the benefit of water resistance, a useful factor for team members working around wet humans all day.
“The RF spectrum in downtown Indy, where the trials were held, is extremely challenging,” added Cassler. “With all the productions, including outside concerts, there are tons of channels - and we were in a stadium! But with Bolero, I didn’t have to worry about my wireless comms at all. It was delightful.”
“It was exciting to participate in the U.S. Swimming Trials once more alongside our excellent partner,
Dodd Technologies,” said James Skupien, Regional Sales Manager, North Central U.S., at Riedel Communications. “By upgrading their system to an Artist-1024, they gained the scalability and flexibility
to integrate seamlessly with both in-house and external systems, creating a single, accessible solution. Just as important, they are able to design larger and more complex systems, achieving the same
high-quality audio clarity and reliability, but with a smaller footprint and less setup time.”
