How Does it Work?
The technology behind pump monitoring solutions receives real-time data from sensors attached to the pump. The data collected is then securely sent to the SEEPEX cloud. There, industry-leading algorithms analyze the raw data for better operating efficiency. A monthly report provides recommended actions.
All operating data is available whenever and wherever you may need them. You can monitor the pump in real time to detect possible wear, joint damage, cavitation, pipe blockages and drops in performance and flow rate. You will also be able to identify any unplanned changes in process conditions, such as temperature or pressure fluctuations.
SEEPEX can help you monitor your assets. We will give you what you need to make informed decisions in a changing process. Optimize your pump performance and maintenance today.
A Smart Solution Makes for a Smart Decision
It can be challenging to implement and optimize an effective preventive maintenance strategy, as it requires accurate and reliable data, analysis, and decision-making. To alleviate the burden on the user, the SEEPEX pump condition monitoring system goes beyond traditional maintenance. In fact, it turns your pump into an intelligent field device.
A Pump with a Brain
SEEPEX Pump Monitoring collects data to evaluate the pump’s operating status and performance, diagnoses any issues it finds and immediately reports the results to the user. With the utmost precision and reliability, it measures and records individually defined process values and machine data such as pressure, flow rate, temperature, vibration levels and drive data - 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Users can also be alerted to activate a protective shutdown that protects their pump from overpressure and excessive temperature.
Users can stay informed at all times via the control room or from any location through the SEEPEEX cloud. With SEEPEX Pump Monitoring, pump operators have an overview of the status of all their pumps at any time, from any location. Messages from the system are sent directly to the mobile devices of your choice.
SEEPEX guarantees the best possible use of a pump, lending customers a predictive lens that allows them to anticipate potential issues before they occur. Thanks to advanced sensors and analytics, they can continuously monitor their equipment to foresee when it might be approaching a failure point, implement preemptive measures, schedule maintenance or repair and prevent unexpected and costly downtime.
Watch Your Total Cost of Ownership Go Down
Did you know that the purchase price accounts for only 15-20% of the total cost of owning equipment? The rest is eaten up by hidden costs, such as support, repairs, maintenance and upgrades. You can significantly reduce those operating costs through continuous data monitoring, analysis and reporting.
The reports provided by the intelligent pump monitoring system will suggest improvements to operating parameters, operating times and energy consumption by analyzing pump operation and process conditions. It will also let you know when it is time to replace the wearing parts. For example, the recommended adjustments can increase the service life of the rotor and stator by more than 50%.
With improved spare parts management, optimized maintenance cycles and downtime reduced by up to 75%, you do not have to worry about your machine’s health and skyrocketing annual costs of maintaining it.
Act vs. React - the Maintenance Dilemma
One of the biggest challenges for pump operators is dealing with maintenance issues. Knowing when to act, rather than react and repair, can mean the difference between material savings and maximum efficiency, and significant losses and costly downtime. This is also the difference between preventive and reactive maintenance.
Reactive maintenance focuses on repairing or replacing equipment and assets after they break down or malfunction. While a viable option in certain cases, in the long run this maintenance plan can be a risky and inefficient strategy when applied to critical infrastructure. Among the shortcomings of this approach, frequent and serious equipment failures and downtime are the ones that have the most severe consequences, resulting in reduced productivity, quality, safety, and customer satisfaction. They are also the ones that preventive maintenance strategies hope to eliminate.
The goal of preventive maintenance is to prevent or reduce the likelihood of failures, improve efficiency and reliability, extend equipment life, and lower maintenance costs. It involves inspecting, testing, cleaning, lubricating, repairing, and replacing parts and components according to a predetermined schedule or based on the condition and performance of the equipment.
