Grundfos has unveiled GENIECON, a next-generation smart pump controller designed to deliver secure connectivity, real-time insights, and energy optimization for parallel-connected pumping systems. The launch marks another important step in the company’s push toward intelligent and data-driven pump operations across industrial, commercial, and water utility markets.
For operators working in environments with fluctuating demands, GENIECON provides the visibility and control needed to keep pumping systems running at peak performance while minimizing downtime and operational waste.
Smarter Control for Connected Pumps
Efficiency in modern pumping starts with intelligence at the controller level. GENIECON gives system operators the ability to monitor performance, adjust settings, and respond to varying load conditions in real time. The controller’s secure connectivity protocols also support remote operations and integration with existing digital ecosystems.
With global attention shifting toward Industrial IoT (IIoT) and smart water infrastructure, GENIECON arrives at a critical moment when utilities and industries in Europe, the USA, Africa, and Canada are accelerating their digital upgrades.
Key Enhancements & Capabilities
- Secure Connectivity: The Grundfos GENIECON smart pump controller introduces enhanced cyber-secure connectivity, ensuring that parallel pump systems remain resilient against vulnerabilities.
- Real-Time System Insights: Operators can monitor flow, energy usage, and runtime diagnostics, supporting predictive maintenance and optimized lifecycle performance.
- Intuitive Interface: GENIECON’s user-friendly interface reduces setup complexity, shortens commissioning, and supports faster on-site adjustments.
