Leader in electromagnetic flowmeters recognised

Frost & Sullivan has recognised Endress+Hauser, with an installed base of more than two million instruments, as the market leader in electromagnetic flowmeters.

The company was recognised during Frost & Sullivan’s awards gala in California. “Endress+Hauser’s success is tied to a strong customer focus and a high level of innovation,” said Dr Rajender Thusu, Frost & Sullivan Industry Analyst. The company invests heavily in research and product development in order to meet its customers’ requirements in the area of liquid flow measurements.

Frost & Sullivan highlighted the company’s close collaboration with customers. “Our aim is to help our customers run their processes in a reliable, safe, sustainable and economic manner. To do that, we work closely together with the customers from the very early stages of product design, to the operations phase and beyond,” said Dr Bernd-Josef Schäfer, Managing Director of Endress+Hauser Flowtec, the Group’s competence centre for flow measurement technology headquartered in Reinach, Switzerland.

The Endress+Hauser range of electromagnetic flowmeters provides precise measurement of volume flow without restricting production flow rates or causing any pressure drop. The result is less downtime and increased productivity, which contributes to lower overall operational costs. “Most of our customers value the combination of state-of-the-art electromagnetic flow measurement instruments and the wide range of services that we offer,” said Schäfer.

Apart from the extensive portfolio of measurement instruments, Endress+Hauser also offers global support services that enable customers to optimise their processes over the plant’s entire life cycle, thus making the company more competitive. This includes calibration, diagnosis, repair, engineering, commissioning and maintenance services.

The electromagnetic flowmeters from Endress+Hauser, which feature advanced engineering such as Heartbeat Technology, support various communications protocols, including EtherNet/IP and Profinet that make the information easily accessible. Due to Heartbeat Technology, instruments such as the Proline flowmeter line have self-monitoring capabilities. By supplying process and instrument diagnostic notifications in line with NE 107, influences and changes can be detected and rectified before impacting the process — all while the process is running.
