Asset management software helps keep track of control valve informationProblem:The city of Redlands, California, has two water supplies that feed into seven pressure zones. Tim Neumann, a water plant mechanic, studied 18 automatic control valves and produced a maintenance database, recording everything relating to the valves.

He soon was responsible for 92 control valves, but his program was not an efficient way to log valve data.
Solution:Cla-Val was just launching its Link2Valves asset management software for control valves. It enables operators to log data and photographs using a mobile phone
