Get smart – the pumping operations enjoying a digital makeover
The digital revolution is here, with more firms
investing in connected technology to improve
processes and increase productivity. Here
are some of the latest smart developments
from progressive cavity (PC) pump specialist
SEEPEX…
PUMP AND PROCESS CONTROL
Seepex’s smart dosing pumps comprise a
PC pump with drive and control software,
as well as flow rate sensors and optional
safety functions. Constant real-time feedback
compares data from sensors and automatically
adjusts the pump speed as process conditions
change, reducing maintenance and increasing
cost-efficiency.
Knowledge of the pump’s operating status is
essential in order to increase the efficiency of
pump control and to plan maintenance intervals
more effectively
CONDITION AND PROCESS MONITORING
Pump monitoring systems observe operational
information such as flow rate, temperature and
pressure in real time, recording the operating
conditions and pump efficiency, and providing
trends for performance analysis and process
optimisation. Deviations from set values trigger
alarms, reducing standard inspection tours
and providing greater safeguards for critical
production processes. user to improve equipment and process
performance. Seepex’s connected services
compare the data received from pump
monitors with previously defined operational
specifications to determine deviations from
optimum performance, enabling corrections
to be made. The use of API (application
programming interface) software can also
interlink equipment from different suppliers
to produce a general process overview and
enable whole process optimisation.
CONNECTED SERVICES
By connecting pump monitors and automation
equipment, data can be transferred to cloud-
based online services and retrieved by the PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
DIGITALISATION
Data collected by pump monitors can
identify when maintenance is needed –
predictive rather than scheduled. Seepex’s
ERP (enterprise resource planning) system
ensures the correct parts are available,
arranging shipment to site and providing
a fully automated diagnostics and spare
parts ordering system. Service apps provide
technicians with VR instructions for pump
maintenance, plus service and instruction
manuals, spare parts lists, chat service lines
and ordering systems. Seepex pumps also
have QR codes which uniquely identify the
pump and generate a spare parts list and
O&M manual. Such apps offer on-site digital
solutions to provide instant operational
information and simplify the supply chain.
Seepex is exhibiting at Plant & Asset
Management 2020, NEC Birmingham, 21-23
