Challenges
Flowserve had difficulty monitoring pumps that undergo cavitation intermittently, ultimately causing impeller wear and possible failure.
For Flowserve, IoT Intelligence is a Game Changer
Hear Flowserve Vice President Aric Zurek on the future of service, why Flowserve invested in ThingWorx, and the “ahah” moment when he realized how IoT monitoring would change everything.
In Flowserve, we truly had an a-ha moment when we saw some of the first information come back from the field from the IoT platform. That was the moment where we thought, 'Oh, my gosh. We've got something incredible here.
