US 10,947,968 B2 · Smart pump for remotely sending realtime data to a smart device

Abstract

The present invention provides wireless sensor technology seamlessly integrated into a pump system having a pump, a motor and a drive, has diagnostic and prognostic intelligence that utilizes sensor data, allows real-time condition monitoring; enables easy access to data and analytics via smart devices (i.e., smart phones and tablets); allows for easy remote monitoring (i.e., web portal) of the pump system; allows self-learning artificial intelligence (AI) built-in that adapts to changing conditions; and allows for smart pump system remote control. In operation, the present invention monitors the health and performance of the pump system that allows the user to get real-time data and intelligence virtually anywhere and anytime, as well as real-time diagnostics and prognostics, and also allows for smart control of the pump system remotely via smart device, and reduces downtime of equipment.
