A blockage in the water pump of a lift belonging to a water supply company was promptly identified thanks to the innovative Bridgemeter Operational monitoring solution based on the Industrial Internet of Things – IIoT provided by Above-Net . The root of the problem lay in a plastic bag that inadvertently entered the pump.
In a traditional operation, the partial or total reduction of the pumping flow would result in a lack of water within a few hours and the pump and rotor would overheat, causing permanent damage, interrupting the operation until the repair was carried out. Furthermore, the call would only be made on an emergency basis after complaints from the population or the perception of a lack of water in later stages, either in person or through a traditional SCADA monitoring system.
Thanks to Bridgemeter and its intelligent operation monitoring model, the local maintenance team received proactive system notification on their mobile devices indicating the drop in pump pressure without the need to check the location even before the low level was reduced. of the next lift.
The platform captures real-time information from any type of sensor to secure cloud infrastructure, where, through its information and intelligence crossing algorithm, it notifies and escalates the problem for immediate action by remote teams.
Above-Net 's solution represents an excellent complement to traditional SCADA supervision systems as it is more flexible and does not require additional costs for configuration and constant adjustments to the operation. In fact, in several customers, Bridgemeter operates integrated adding value to traditional SCADA systems.
Bridgemeter represents an affordable alternative, which enables intelligent operational monitoring of all assets in an integrated manner, regardless of the size or complexity of the operation. According to Marcelo Ramos, CEO of Above-Net , “traditional monitoring systems, such as SCADA, depend on the human perceptual capacity of the control center to identify problems and then activate the field team, which often proves to be a time-consuming and ineffective. Bridgemeter is an intelligent and proactive solution that detects problems in real time and notifies the maintenance team even before they cause losses and interruptions. Furthermore, it is very flexible as it allows intelligence, rules and diagrams to be updated by the client's management team in the tool itself, immediately implementing modifications according to the needs of the operation.”
The quick identification of the problem allowed the team to carry out a simple unclogging operation even before the impeller or pump burned out. In addition to reducing service time, the company avoided additional costs for parts, emergency labor and service interruptions that would have been significantly higher.
This type of event clearly demonstrates the ROI (Return on Investment) of the Bridgemeter solution, which only varies between 6 and 12 months!
