Waterjet management software

Flow International Corp. (Kent, Wash., USA) has introduced FlowConnex, software designed for waterjet management operations. It allows operators, shop supervisors and managers to see the status of their Flow waterjet systems on the FlowConnex dashboard from the shop floor, in an office or at an offsite location. This includes waterjet machine productivity and machine utilization information, as well as pump pressure and other system parameters. It also provides alerts to signal waterjet operators and management of waterjet machine and/or pump conditions that could shut down the waterjet machine. Customized alerts can be viewed from e-mail or any mobile device, such as a mobile phone. The system also links directly to Flow’s expert knowledge database to aid trouble resolution.
