Industrial valves connect via Internet for consistent monitoring

Flowrox has introduced the new Smart line of industrial valves, designed for connectivity via the Internet for consistent monitoring to help reduce unplanned downtime and guarantee spare part availability.

The valves are embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, enabling customers to collect and exchange data with the users and in some cases directly with Flowrox. They incorporate smart sleeves and intelligent positioners with enhanced reporting and wear analysis to signal the customer that a valve is heading for failure long before it actually fails.

The valves also feature the Flowrox Malibu Platform, which gives users a visual interface to track operational parameters, including the early warning of upset conditions and product failures. The interface allows users to view process performance, flow rates, pressures, and variables through an Internet connection.
