MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Graco Inc. (NYSE: GGG), a leading manufacturer of fluid handling equipment, today announced the launch of Pulse® Asset. An extension of Graco’s proven Pulse Pro Fluid Management system, Pulse Asset is a platform-based system that features programmable ID tags to track what machines are getting filled, how much fluid is used, who did the dispense and when the dispense occurred. This system is designed for applications like manufacturing facilities where wireless signals may not always be available.
“Pulse Asset is a powerful, new variant of a field-proven system for metering and tracking fluid dispenses,” said Jack Koenig, global product marketing manager for Graco’s Lubrication Equipment Division. “Manufacturing facilities are continually challenged with tracking fluid use and interruptions to their Wi-Fi signal, so having a fluid management system capable of recording dispenses offline will help engineers and managers confidently manage fluids in their operations.”
Pulse Asset dispenses are stored in the meter until synced with the Pulse HUB, allowing users to complete up to 40 dispenses without Wi-Fi connection. Once uploaded, the data is accessible on any device connected to the local area network – eliminating the need for manual records. Easy access to data helps operators identify fluid issues and simplifies department reporting.
Additional challenges that manufacturing facilities may face are ensuring the correct fluid is used in each asset and allocating fluid use to individual departments. Pulse Asset reduces the likelihood of human error by disallowing the dispensing of fluids that do not match the programmed tags.
