An Internet of Things ecosystem

Parker Hannifin introduced at this year’s Hannover Messe its ecosystem backed by products, technologies and engineering collaboration.
At the core of Parker’s proposition to support the development of smart manufacturing solutions is its Voice of the Machine platform. The platform creates an Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem to provide customers a seamless IoT experience across Parker products and technologies. Among the other products were the Smart IO-Link connectivity for the company’s valve portfolio, externally monitored safety exhaust valves and new additions to the Transair aluminium pipework range that speeds and eases installation and gives weight, space and cost savings in compressed air, vacuum and inert gas applications.
Finally, Parker has recently launched Accumulator Service, which provides expert maintenance, service, repair and technical support for the company’s industry-leading products at designated service centres, via mobile units or onsite. This ensures the reliable, cost-effective and safe operation of accumulators with minimal risk of costly downtime.
