Aloxy wireless sensors reduce operating errors
During the NISTM 2025 event, Connor Johnson, Aloxy's Vice President of Business Development, shared how the company is modernizing industrial operations through wireless sensors specializing in valve monitoring. Aloxy, headquartered in Belgium with operations in North America, offers IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) solutions designed for sectors such as gas, oil and chemical industries, its main innovation being wireless sensors that easily adapt to manual valves, providing accurate data on their position in real time.
A universal and easy-to-install sensor
Aloxy has developed a wireless sensor that adapts to any quarter-turn or multi-turn valve, the device detects whether the valve is open, closed or in an intermediate position, without the need to modify the original equipment or resort to custom fittings. This technology is designed for demanding industrial environments and can be installed with minimal effort, representing a significant advantage in projects where installation time and standardization are critical.
Error control in fluid transfers
One of the most outstanding benefits of these wireless sensors is their ability to avoid errors in valve alignments during fluid transfer operations. Connor Johnson explained that, thanks to this technology, product degradation (e.g., blending premium gasoline with regular) or even spills that could represent environmental and financial risks, with this solution, industrial plants gain a digital control point that reduces reliance on manual processes and potential human failure.
Digitization and traceability of operations
Traceability is another of the pillars that Aloxy brings to industrial operations. By having a digital reading of each monitored valve, it is possible to verify that the correct valve has been activated at the right time. This digital confirmation not only optimizes operational flows, but also generates reliable records for internal audits or regulatory certifications. Johnson emphasized that "all valves are important and must be monitored," underscoring the importance of this comprehensive traceability.
Proprietary algorithmic-based technology
Although the sensors do not incorporate artificial intelligence in the strict sense, they do use advanced algorithms to calculate the exact position of each valve. This "secret formula," as Johnson himself defined it, is crucial to the accuracy and reliability of the data generated, the sensors communicate via low-power networks such as LoRaWAN or DASH7 with Aloxy's IIoT Hub, which can be hosted in the cloud or on-premises depending on the customer's requirements.
A solution designed for the industrial future
Since its founding in 2017, Aloxy has managed to position itself as a reliable supplier for companies seeking to optimize processes without making costly modifications to their infrastructure. Its wireless sensors represent a technological alternative that improves operational efficiency and facilitates the digitization of facilities with traditional methods, in an environment where errors can translate into large losses, Aloxy offers a robust, flexible and high-impact tool.
