INNOVATION – THE CORE OF ALL OUR ENDEAVOURS
Innovation is the backbone of all our verticals. With strong emphasis on
innovation, quality and customer happiness and with an unwavering dedication to engineering
excellence and sustainability, we are creating a significant presence in both domestic and
international markets.
The Company continues its trend of setting a new benchmark in
engineering excellence and using technology for customer convenience.
KirloSmartTM, its
advanced version of its signature IoT (Internet of Things) based pump monitoring system uses
IoT as technology, allows the customer to remotely monitor the pump’s essential parameters
by measuring and transmitting its analytical field parameters on our web-based portal. It
generates alerts for the probable causes leading to the failure of the pump and a system
enabled with it helps the user in monitoring the pump health on a real-time basis by
appropriately sensing the critical health parameters of the pump. It helps take predictive
maintenance or action to avoid bad performance or failure, thereby significantly reducing
maintenance cost and loss of production.
