IoT platforms for enhanced centrifugal pump operations
Last month, this company and Sulzer signed a letter of intent to cooperate in providing operators of large centrifugal pumps with an enhanced digital service. Bringing together their respective IoT-platforms and services, Sidrive IQ and Blue Box (photo), the two companies are collaborating to deliver an integrated solution that improves equipment reliability and cuts operations costs. In order to offer a more holistic value-add that addresses the wider drivetrain, the pump-specific, AI-based analytics platform, BlueE Box, will now be complemented by predictive-maintenance data from Sidrive IQ, an IoT-platform for smart fleet management of drive systems and solutions. — Siemens Large Drives Applications (LDA), Nuremberg, Germany
