The new Alfa Laval Clariot™ monitors equipment and processes to provide actionable insights that enhance uptime and optimize resource efficiency. The development is based on the extensive experience from more than 3,000 condition monitoring units already operating worldwide. With new hardware and software Alfa Laval now offers a complete digital handshake, tailored for use in demanding hygienic processes.
Every drop counts
Unplanned downtime costs manufacturers billions of euro in lost revenue each year. Idle process lines cause product loss, extra cleaning, production delays, wasted water and potential damage to machinery.
“In a world where every drop and every man-hour count, our customers increasingly seek solutions that improve uptime and productivity, while reducing resource waste. This is where Clariot™ makes a difference, helping manufacturers in hygienic industries prevent failures and run at full capacity without unnecessary interruptions”, says Torsten Pedersen, Commercial Head Condition Monitoring at Alfa Laval Fluid Handling.
Clariot™ provides 24/7 monitoring, alerts and diagnostics for pumps and other rotating equipment, e.g. agitators. The industry-intelligent solution proactively detects machine failures before they occur, maximizing performance, minimizing downtime and extending equipment lifespan.
From insight to foresight
Clariot™ is an important next step in the digitalization strategy of Alfa Laval, where resource and operational efficiency align with the latest smart technologies. Clariot is a standalone system, enabling maximum cybersecurity, by operating independently from internal business-critical systems, meeting the requirements of IEC 62443-3-3 SL1.
Installation is simple, and Clariot™ is compatible with most pump brands. The user interface is intuitive, and the investment is low with a short payback time. It is designed for hygienic processes, for monitoring pumps and other rotating equipment, e.g. agitators. The Clariot VX sensor is designed specifically for wet production environments and for handling multiple change-overs on the process lines. Clariot™ VX sensors are pre-mounted on a range of Alfa Laval pumps, and the use of Clariot™ potentially extends the warranty on equipment if monitored and serviced according to recommendations.
Comprehensive Buyers Guide available
To assist decision-makers and buyers, Alfa Laval has developed a Buyer’s Guide to condition monitoring in hygienic industries with detailed information about maintenance strategies, selection and implementation of the right solutions as well as customer benefits. The guideline is available on the Alfa Laval website.
