Keep Your Pumps Flowing

Protect Production and Prevent Costly Downtime with Advanced Pump Condition Monitoring

The Challenge

Pumps keep industry moving — circulating water, transferring chemicals, and feeding critical processes across plants. When pump performance slips, consequences spread quickly: reduced flow, increased energy consumption, equipment damage, or total production stoppage. Failures often cascade into safety hazards, environmental risks, and expensive emergency repairs.

Pumps Are Vital in Applications Like:

Effective monitoring isn’t just about protecting the pump — it’s about safeguarding the entire process it drives.

Monitoring Strategies

Pumps face diverse failure modes, from cavitation and seal leaks to bearing wear and motor-driven issues. No single sensor can catch them all. A multiphysics approach delivers the coverage needed to identify early warning signs before performance losses or breakdowns occur.

Key Strategies Include:

  • Vibration Analysis to detect imbalance, misalignment, bearing wear, and cavitation
  • Electrical Signature Analysis to diagnose coupling faults or load-related problems
  • IR Thermography for seal degradation, overheating, and lubrication issues
  • Pressure and Flow Measurements to spot hydraulic issues and reduced efficiency
  • Process Data Correlation tying pump health directly to flow reliability and plant performance

Protect Your Pumps. Protect Your Process.

Industrial Pump Fault Model

Cutsforth’s Integrated Diagnostic Models provide a digital blueprint for reliability by mapping known failure modes to the sensors and signal features needed to detect them. Built with input from experienced reliability engineers, the models capture optimal sensor placement, failure criticality and likelihood, and diagnostic effectiveness. The result is actionable fault intelligence—combining multiphysics measurements, deep expertise, and AI-driven optimization to clearly show how assets behave and where failures are most likely to occur.
