IPS Wireless

Vibration Equipment Monitoring System

Through the application of advanced technologies, the Flowserve Intelligent Process Solutions (IPS) Family of products helps customers proactively manage their plant assets to increase plant uptime and reduce equipment life cycle costs. Flowserve offers advanced monitoring solutions- wired and wireless – for permanent and portable data collection and analysis of vital assets. Monitoring and control solutions from Flowserve are engineered specifically to address process and equipment issues. As a result, user interfaces are highly intuitive and information is easy to interpret and immediately actionable. In addition, Flowserve is on the leading edge of predictive monitoring and diagnostics. Onboard sensors and intelligent algorithms make it possible for plant operators to predict system behavior before failure or disruption, thus protecting their most critical plant assets.

IPS Solutions

Moving from reactive to predictive

  • Transitions reliability practices from reactive to predictive to improve reliability and reduce overall maintenance costs

Solutions that are practical and economical

  • Systems that capture data and generate actionable information are easy to use and ready now

Systems that are scalable

  • Plant- or enterprise-wide solutions that integrate with broader operational technology strategies

IPS Node … Pressure, Temperature, Vibration

The goal of predictive maintenance is to quickly identify equipment failures before they occur. The Flowserve IPS Node is a cost efficient monitoring device that continuously reports critical equipment performance information:

  • Wireless data transmission of sensor information: pressure, temperature, vibration (including FFT 8 Peak Data), discrete and 4-20mA signal
  • Ability to set alarm thresholds for sensor signals so that authorized personnel can be notified. Reports are generated daily to show the health of the equipment at a glance.

Improving reliability & efficiency … while lowering cost
