Pumps are critical across process industries, heavy industry, and mining/metals because they enable essential operations such as cooling-water circulation, slurry transport, chemical/fertilizer fluid circulation, and hygienic food & beverage processing. Unexpected pump failures can halt entire processes, creating safety risks, production losses, and higher maintenance costs.
The document highlights key monitoring challenges: harsh operating conditions (abrasion, corrosion, high heat, vibration), limited access for inspections (confined, hazardous, or remote locations), and the limitations of traditional periodic manual checks, which often miss early fault indicators and can’t reliably predict failures.
It states that the paper covers why pumps matter, real-time monitoring challenges, the importance of choosing the right sensors, and how the PlantOS Industrial AI platform detects early-stage pump faults. Download the white paper to find out more details.
