NFPA - Advanced Hydraulics Conference - day 1
The integration of connected devices in hydraulic systems revolutionizes monitoring, diagnostics and efficiency. By leveraging an IoT device in conjunction with analog sensors and monitored cartridge valves, operators can continuously track system performance, predict failures and optimize maintenance schedules. This proactive approach enhances uptime, reduces unplanned downtime and streamlines technical support through remote diagnostics and automated alerts. Additionally, data-driven insights improve energy efficiency and system optimization, reducing operational costs.
- Troubleshooting hydraulic systems is complex and expensive, especially without diagnostic tools or clear feedback
- Embedding sensors provides more information and easier maintenance of hydraulic control systems
- Remote diagnostics significantly cut OEM service costs and reduce machine downtime
- Proactive system design can optimize productivity and simplify support for field technicians and service teams
