Schaeffler’s solution comprises a custom-designed condition monitoring system based on SmartCheck sensors. 84 SmartChecks, which have been fully integrate into the customer’s infrastructure via the programmable logic controller PLC), monitor the relevant units in 15 pumping stations. The data can be viewed individually at each pumping station and additionally in the control room. The system also allows the implementation of automated routines such as the triggering of alarms and the emergency shut-off of units.

Customer

Our customer operates a drinking water treatment facility where, every day, 200 million liters of water can be treated, filtered, chlorinated, and – after a recent expansion – ozonized, and biologically activated. Since the operator is responsible for ensuring a reliable supply of high-quality drinking water for the region, protecting the relevant facilities against failure is a key priority.
