Monitoring Systems

System monitoring is now becoming a vital part of everyday life for most processes and systems, resulting in significant cost savings and improved system reliability while gaining greater efficiency and considerable cost savings. We have evolved systems that meet the highest criterion in monitoring from the simple system to Seer® Monitoring which uses cloud technology with continual data collection history.

How does remote pump monitoring improve pumping station efficiency?

When equipped with cloud storage and machine-to-machine data logging, pump monitoring systems can improve pumping station energy efficiency by recording and storing historical performance data that can be analysed to highlight areas of inefficiency and inform operational changes.

For example, recorded data might show that a station's pumps continue to operate through periods of low demands, wasting energy and causing excess wear. This could be resolved by retrofitting variable speed drives (VSDs) that adjust pump speed to match the current demand, optimising energy consumption and extending the life of the pump/s thanks to an observation made through the remote monitoring system.

What are the features to look for in a remote pump monitoring system?

  • Remote monitoring and data access - View live pump data anywhere, anytime.
  • Data-logging - Analyse logged data to detect mechanical issues and implement appropriate proactive maintenance, monitor and improve system energy efficiency.
  • Alarm capabilities - Remote and customisable alarms mean you can receive notifications via text and email to your mobile phone and categorise alarms based on their severity.
  • Security - Cloud-based hosting with multi-factor authentication will ensure your data is secure.
  • Digital and analogue inputs - A combination of digital and analogue inputs allows for alarm alerts, live status monitoring and historical data analysis. Digital inputs provide on/off (binary) data signals for conditions such as pump tripped and high-level float switch active. Analogue inputs receive continuous values for monitoring factors like wet well level and pump run time.

What are the cost savings associated with remote pump monitoring systems?

  • Increased energy efficiency - Analysing logged data can reveal system inefficiencies and inform changes to improve system energy usage.
  • Proactive maintenance - Comparing historical and live data highlights changes in system performance for further investigation, allowing issues to be resolved before devolving further and requiring more costly repairs.
  • On-site attendance only when necessary - When paired with third-party monitoring, issues can be diagnosed and resets performed remotely, with site attendance only when necessary and once the issue is fully diagnosed to reduce the time needed on site.

How do remote pump monitoring systems help in predictive maintenance?

Remote monitoring systems allow for the comparison of recent and historical data, allowing you to track operation performance. If you notice a decline in performance in a specific area, further investigation can reveal the cause of the issue and inform the necessary maintenance actions.

  • Wet well monitoring - You can track how long it takes to empty the wet well by monitoring pump running duration or how long level control units take to indicate a change from high to low level. If it is taking longer than usual, it could indicate issues such as worn impellers or malfunctioning valves.
  • Temperature monitoring - Monitoring pump motor temperature will show you if they are overheating, which could be the result of electrical issues, overloading or a need to relubricate moving parts like bearings.
  • Load monitoring - Monitoring motor behaviour in terms of electrical characteristics and investigating changes can diagnose wide issues, such as a pipeline blockage causing the motor to work harder and intake a larger current.
