Walden introduces Wilden SafeGuard, an Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled, air-operated, double-diaphragm (AODD) pump remote performance monitoring and alert system. The all-inclusive pump-monitoring system remotely tracks, records and alerts customers to key performance indicators of AODD pumps – such as leak detection, stroke rate and total stroke count – during operation. It provides real-time alerts via SMS or email to indicate any noteworthy change in operations that may be a precursor to or indicators of component failure. Wilden SafeGuard can also store maintenance records to help identify patterns to further enhance preventative maintenance plans. The Wilden SafeGuard offering is designed to monitor a single pump or a fleet of AODD pumps within one dedicated software system.
The connected Wilden SafeGuard system is composed of a single, battery-powered sensor mounted directly onto the pump. This sensor collects and analyzes pump-performance data in real-time and transmits it to a central gateway for encryption and transmission to the cloud. Once stored on the cloud, real-time and historic operational information can reportedly be accessed by the user anywhere in the world through a secure smartphone app or online portal.
