These pumps can be controlled remotely, via the Internet
Masterflex cloud-enabled pumps (photo) featuring MasterflexLive now meet 21CFR Part11 and EU Annex 11, according to the manufacturer. This new technology brings the internet of things (IoT) to pump applications, providing pump operators with the ability to remotely control and monitor pumps via the Internet, without the need to be onsite. When enhanced security, data control and electronic records are critical to the operation, companies can meet 21CFR Part 11 compliance with a low-cost subscription service. MasterflexLive is a secure, cloud-based platform for controlling and monitoring select Masterflex L/S and I/P pumps. Pump operators can monitor and adjust critical processes running 24/7 from anywhere with a data connection. This new smart technology, a first-of-its kind for peristaltic pumps, provides real-time control of all pump parameters, including speed, flowrate, dispense volume and more. Push notifications provide alerts for operating conditions and error messages. Hands-free operation allows control of pumps operating inside cleanrooms, glove boxes or isolation chambers. Access is easy from a computer, tablet or smartphone. — Cole-Parmer, Vernon Hills, Ill.
