Smart Systems are a critical driving force for a range of rapidly emerging intelligent and autonomous systems and objects that make up the Internet of Things (IoT). Now, IoT has hit the often complicated world of fire pumps. Digital tools give you the line of sight you need for all your fire pump equipment, which can indicate larger equipment issues like system leaks that trigger the jockey pump. If equipment needs attention, you’d be notified immediately so you can address the problem and keep your building safe. Wouldn’t it be great if you could have confidence that your fire safety system would operate effectively in an emergency? With IoT, 24/7 access to alerts and continuous reporting of all system data would allow you always to be the first to know what’s happening at your facility. If there were an emergency, you would know within seconds of it happening. You’d immediately have the information you need to make quick decisions. You’d know your pumps’ data flow and conditions so your emergency response would be as effective as possible. With access to real-time and historical data, you can proactively address equipment issues and diagnose before dispatching service personnel when needed. Joining Drew is special guest Travis Montembeault from Peerless Pumps. They cover Digital Tools for Fire Pumps.
