Flowrox, a manufacturer of industrial valves, with operations in the United States, has announced the introduction of Flowrox ”Smart” products and services that will be dedicated to increasing productivity, optimization and online predictivity, through automation and connectivity. The aim is to help its clients garner the full potential of Flowrox products as well as those from other manufacturers.
Flowrox Smart Series products will be equipped with intelligent solutions – a transformation currently underway that will ensure connectivity via the Internet, allowing the consistent monitoring of Flowrox products and systems to maximize its customer’s up-time, reduce unplanned downtime and help guarantee spare part availability exactly when the customer needs them.
Initially, Flowrox will begin marketing its Smart Series of valves that incorporate a new series of smart sleeves and intelligent positioners with enhanced reporting and wear analysis, which will signal the customer that a valve may be heading toward failure, long before it actually fails.
The Smart Series will also feature the Flowrox Malibu Platform, which will provide its customers with a visual user interface so they can track valve or instrument operational parameters—including the early warning of upset conditions and product failures or reports on a product experiencing deterioration from normal wear and tear.
