Henkel has expanded its industrial internet of things (IIoT) solution Loctite Pulse with two innovative offerings: Smart Rotating Equipment Monitoring and Smart Pipes and Tanks Leak Detection. These new solutions demonstrate the company’s dedication to enhancing its Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) portfolio and introducing advanced technology to industrial operations globally.
Loctite Pulse, built on over 70 years of industrial brand expertise, offers a range of IIoT solutions that utilize cutting-edge monitoring sensor technology for static and rotating equipment. The brand aims to help industries prevent plant failures, minimize downtime, and improve safety and sustainability. The Loctite Pulse app simplifies asset monitoring and maintenance, providing real-time alerts and equipment status updates to assist users in prioritizing tasks and planning shutdowns efficiently.
The Smart Rotating Equipment Monitoring solution features a 6-in-1 plug-and-play sensor, allowing simultaneous monitoring of six critical data parameters. This comprehensive approach enhances performance and precision, streamlining the monitoring process. The solution is currently available in the US and will launch in Western Europe in the third quarter of 2024.
On the other hand, the Smart Pipes and Tanks Leak Detection solution offers an advanced retrofit monitoring system for early hydrocarbon leak detection using carbon nanotube sensor technology. This solution aids in identifying leaks early, reducing downtime, and promoting sustainability, even in aging tanks and pipes. It is already available in the US and Western Europe, similar to the existing Loctite Pulse Smart Flange Leak Detection solution.
Dr. Kourosh Bahrami, Corporate Senior Vice President General Manufacturing and Maintenance at Henkel Adhesive Technologies, expressed excitement about the new solutions, emphasizing their role in empowering industrial customers to enhance reliability, efficiency, and sustainability. The integration of these solutions with Henkel’s MRO core product range reinforces the company’s commitment to providing comprehensive solutions for industrial maintenance challenges.
In addition to the new offerings, Henkel’s Loctite Pulse has garnered recognition in the market for its innovative approach, receiving prestigious awards such as Engineering Product of the Year 2023, Digital Innovation Award 2023, New Technology Award 2024, Best Smart Industry 4.0 Solutions Award, and Real Innovation Technology Award (RITA) 2024. These accolades underscore the impact of Loctite Pulse in driving technological advancements in industrial operations.
The expansion of the Loctite Pulse portfolio reflects Henkel’s ongoing efforts to deliver smart maintenance solutions and advanced IIoT technology to a wide range of industries. By providing integrated solutions for asset monitoring and repair, Henkel aims to help customers optimize their operations and achieve long-term sustainability goals.
