Disrupting Downtime – How to Reduce Manufacturing Downtime
It’s no secret that operational efficiency is paramount to the food and beverage industry and any potential downtime must be avoided. Currently, it’s estimated that food and beverage manufacturers lose around £180 billion annually to downtime, accounting for 20 percent of their working time.
Investing in modern pump technology – featuring remote monitoring – and proactive maintenance practices will allow professionals to monitor pump performance in real-time, identifying issues before they escalate into problems.

Addressing the Skills Shortage in the Pump Industry
For the pump industry to survive the growing demand, there needs to be a shift in focus towards creating attractive opportunities for younger people.
Businesses can encourage young people to enter these professions by spreading awareness of the potential benefits and the ability to build a fulfilling career.
While many do know that roles in the pump industry, and across the wider engineering sector, are worthwhile and well-paid, there is a very limited understanding of what they actually do.

Revolutionising Pump Efficiency through Remote Monitoring
Businesses are turning to technology as part of the solution, showing a growing appetite for smart pumps, which feature remote monitoring. Indeed, a recent report stated that the sale of smart pumps is expected to gain traction of 7.8 percent CAGR (compound annual growth rate) between 2023 and 2033.
This trend isn’t surprising, given the benefits of remote monitoring. The ability to track the status of pumps anywhere in the world with an internet connection, allows businesses to identify issues before they worsen and turn into risks.

Addressing Water Pressure Challenges in Hospitals
Is essential for patient safety and a necessity in providing effective care. A drop or fluctuation in pressure can disrupt essential services, like sterilisation, dialysis, and fire safety equipment. Modern pump booster technology with monitoring capabilities helps to resolve not just issues around pressure but energy consumption as well. Implementing this technology shows a commitment to sustainability and operational resilience – values that are increasingly important in today’s healthcare environment.

Profits Down The Drain
In the UK alone, the alcoholic beverage industry was worth an estimated £50 billion in 2023 but supply chain disruptions, rising energy costs and labour shortages all drive up expenses. Therefore, the importance of operational efficiency in the beverage industry is vital to minimise disruption to production. A key component of maintaining this efficiency is ensuring that pump systems function well throughout the manufacturing process.
Regular maintenance is necessary to avoid pump failure. Routine checks ensure that components like seals, bearings, and impellers are in good condition or need replacing, and investigate if the system is functioning as efficiently as it could. Remote monitoring is transforming the pump maintenance process by reducing the frequency of on-site visits required and allowing for the early detection of potential issues. Smart pump technology facilitates the continuous monitoring of pump performance, such as pressure and flow rates, without the need for physical inspections.
Pump Expert Shares Top Maintenance Tips For This Winter
As winter approaches, ensuring essential infrastructure is properly maintained is critical. The early predictions for winter 2024/2025 suggest it will be one of the most challenging in recent years, with cold temperatures, increased snowfall, and wet, stormy conditions expected. From heating systems to wastewater management, pumps play a key role in the daily operations of facilities and, like other key components of a building’s infrastructure, face a greater risk of issues over winter due to freezing temperatures and increased demand.
