Predictive Maintenance Solution
Predictive Maintenance: Anticipate a breakdown before it brings you to a standstill
Cavitation, dry running, clogging: these issues that damage your pumps aren't visible on a conventional sensor. The SCAN42 detects them in real time and alerts you before a failure occurs.
The problem
Your sensors measure. They don't see.
Conventional sensors provide a reading, not information about what's happening in the flow. Cavitation, dry running, and clogging: these conditions can damage your pumps for weeks without a single indicator showing any change.
By the time the alarm goes off, the damage has already been done.
Maintenance
The shutdown that no one saw coming
A pump breaks down on a Sunday evening, right in the middle of production. No prior warning. The team rushes to intervene; the line is down, and the bill keeps rising by the hour.
Maintenance - Technical
Equipment wear detected too late
Cavitation eats away at parts from the inside. Dry running overheats the bearings. Fouling gradually chokes the flow. Without visibility, you replace out of caution or repair after failure. Never at the right time.
Maintenance
Maintenance that costs both sides
Replace parts too early, and you waste components that are still in good condition. Wait too long, and you face unplanned downtime. Without real-time data on the state of your flow, you are caught between two forms of waste.
The problem isn't a lack of sensors. It's that they measure variables without seeing what is actually flowing inside.

The Solution
See anomalies as they emerge. Act before failure.
Installed on the pump suction line, the SCAN42 continuously analyzes the flow signature. When an anomaly emerges — early-stage cavitation, the onset of dry running or clogging — it recognizes it and triggers an alert.
You no longer suffer the failure. You see it coming, and you decide when to intervene.
Cavitation:
the bubbles that eat away at the inside of your pumps.
Dry running:
the pump running dry and overheating.
Clogging:
the gradual buildup of debris that restricts flow and reduces efficiency.
Anticipate unplanned downtime and stay in control
Take action at the right time, not in a rush
The alert comes before failure. You schedule downtime on your terms. Not too early, not too late.
Double the lifespan of your equipment
Maintenance triggered at the right time reduces premature wear and delays replacement. Less CAPEX, greater profitability per machine.
Avoiding just one shutdown pays for the investment
An unplanned shutdown can cost up to €100,000. The SCAN42 pays for itself with the very first avoided incident, not over the course of years.
See what your sensors can't see
95% of breakdowns are caused by invisible factors. The SCAN42 gives you the insight you need to take proactive action.
Designed to integrate with your critical equipment
- Transparent in production:
Once installed, the SCAN42 causes no pressure drop. Your flow rate remains unchanged.
- Integrates with your monitoring system:
Alerts are sent to your SCADA system or PLC via OPC-UA. No need to monitor yet another screen.
- Runs locally:
The AI runs on the device itself, with no mandatory cloud connection. Your monitoring remains fully independent.
- Tested under extreme conditions:
Born from over 10 years of R&D at the CEA (French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission), the technology has been validated up to 330 bar and 600°C at Framatome.
Case Study - Industrial Pumps
A European leader in pumps detects a failure before it occurs
On pumps in production, the SCAN42 is installed on the suction line and detects cavitation, dry running, and clogging in real time. Alerts are generated before any damage occurs, reducing unplanned downtime on critical lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
display-none
How can you prevent an unplanned shutdown of an industrial pump?
Most unplanned shutdowns are caused by phenomena that are invisible to conventional sensors: cavitation, dry running, and clogging. Anticipating these issues requires continuously measuring the flow signature—not just pressure or flow rate. The SCAN42 detects these anomalies as soon as they occur and triggers an alert before damage occurs, allowing time to plan a response.
What anomalies does the SCAN42 detect?
Cavitation, dry running, and fouling—all in real time. It recognizes the signature of each phenomenon in the flow before it damages equipment or degrades performance. The same scanner also detects the interface between two fluids, which is useful for optimizing your clean-in-place cycles.
How is this different from a conventional sensor?
A pressure or flow sensor provides a reading, but cannot see what is flowing through the system. The SCAN42 analyzes the flow signature and detects anomalies that these sensors fail to detect until a failure occurs.
Find out how the SCAN42 works.
Do I need to modify my setup to install it?
The SCAN42 is installed on the pump suction side of your existing equipment. Installation requires a brief production shutdown, but once in service, the scanner causes no pressure drop.
What types of equipment can it be used with?
For pumps and critical equipment in any industrial sector. Contact us to verify compatibility with your system.
How much does an unplanned shutdown cost you?
A single shutdown can cost up to €100,000 due to lost production, emergency repairs, and damaged parts. Speak with a fluiidd expert to estimate how much you could save on your production lines.
