In a recent interview with Connor Johnson, Aloxy‘s vice president of business development, the company introduced its wireless valve position monitoring sensors, a technology that is improving industries that rely on fluid transfer systems.
Wireless valve and sensor monitoring technology
Aloxy sensors offer a unique solution for monitoring quarter-turn ball valves and multi-turn gate valves, providing accurate tracking of valve positions in real-time.
Wireless sensors are designed to monitor the open, closed, and intermediate positions of valves, allowing operators to track fluid flow from one tank to another.
Such technology eliminates the risk of misaligned transfers during tank alignment operations, reducing the chances of spills or incorrect fluid transfers. For industries that handle high-end products such as gasoline, this innovation can prevent costly mistakes, such as blending premium gasoline with unleaded gasoline.
Johnson mentioned the importance of having a digital reference that confirms that the correct valve is being opened and ensures traceability in operations. With wireless monitoring sensors, companies can achieve greater operational efficiency and safety by digitally confirming valve positions and reducing the margin for human error.
Moreover, with the advent of artificial intelligence, Johnson recognized the presence of sophisticated algorithms that improve the functionality of the sensors, optimizing the calculation of valve position and contributing to the overall efficiency of the system.
In conclusion, Aloxy’ s wireless valve position sensors are poised to make an impact in industries focused on fluid transfer, offering real-time monitoring, increased safety and operational transparency.
