Real-time Performance Monitoring Helps Drive Operational Efficiency
Donaldson Company, Inc., a global leader in technology-led filtration products and solutions, announced the expansion of iCue Connected Technology into its portfolio of filtration equipment for industrial gases and hydraulic fluids.
The iCue technology, already widely available on Donaldson Smart Collectors, is a monitoring system that gathers and analyzes data from industrial filtration equipment to help drive efficiency. A collection of sensors track performance indicators to provide operators with real-time insights to help support uptime, manage maintenance intervals, and extend equipment life.
Available on the Ultradryer+ series of heat regenerated adsorption dryers, the iCue Connected Technology will provide additional equipment status visibility to organizations that rely on clean and dry compressed air and gases.
At the same time, the technology is also being integrated into the popular Donaldson Hy-Pro Vac-U-Dry (VUD) vacuum dehydrators. Designed for the removal of water and particulates from hydraulic and high viscosity lubricating oils, the VUD plays a critical role in optimizing equipment performance.
“Both systems utilize an array of standard and optional sensors that deliver performance metrics specific to the equipment and application,” said Bart Robbeets, General Manager of Industrial Gases at Donaldson.
Organizations in demanding environments can set operational parameters and alerts to monitor the performance from any connected device. The dashboard provides 24/7 visibility and can be used to help initiate on-site service depending on regional availability.
