Filtration plant

A connected filtration system reports its condition continuously instead of only becoming noticeable at the next inspection. Manufacturers and operators see differential pressure and operating data remotely and can plan maintenance ahead. Herding saves long journeys because many problems can already be solved via the dashboard. On request, customers receive their own login details and see the same data as the manufacturer.

Yes, fully automatic filter presses can be monitored remotely via a remote maintenance solution. AQUACHEM uses products from INSYS icom that connect the press to the company network and transfer operating data to a cloud portal. In the event of a fault, the problem is identified quickly. Because regular maintenance rounds are no longer needed, staff have to enter areas with corrosive or toxic substances less often.

The most important variable of a dust extraction system is the differential pressure between the raw gas and clean gas sides. It shows when the filter is sufficiently loaded and needs cleaning. Herding, a manufacturer of filter systems with its own sintered lamellar filter, records these values with WAGO Analytics and displays them in automatically generated dashboards. For new installations, this helps to monitor performance right from the start.

Replacement filters arrive on time when the loading status is known and the order is triggered automatically. For a manufacturer of filtration systems, elunic implemented two approaches: newer systems report their sensor values to the cloud via an edge device, while older ones are labelled with QR codes and recorded via an app. New filters thus arrive just as the maximum value is reached, and users need to stock fewer filters.
