SABO Mobile IT – KSB Guard – Remote monitoring of KSB pumps

Project goals

KSB is a leading German supplier of pumps, valves, and related services. KSB's products are characterized by high quality and reliability. Modern IoT platforms offer completely new options in the field of digitalization of monitoring performance and condition parameters of machines and devices. The KSB Guard intelligent monitoring system for pumps has a number of advantages:


  • Comprehensive and clear display of operating data

  • Effective maintenance strategies

  • Predictable and less frequent downtimes

  • Reduced operating costs

Challenges 

SABO Mobile IT's solution should enable customers to easily register new sensors and pumps, connect them to the IoT platform, and transform large amounts of data into clearly structured information in real time. The challenge is also to define a strategy and effective support for maintenance processes, as well as user-friendly processing of warnings and error states of the pumps.

Solution 

SABO Mobile IT has developed an application for KSB customers that supports service operations, provides clear and accurate pump data, and ensures seamless communication with the AWS cloud platform. The IoT solution is available in a browser as well as a mobile application for iOS and Android. The project was from the beginning managed agilely based on the SCRUM methodology. Modern technologies were used to develop a high-performance application:


  • Xamarin for mobile applications

  • Angular for web applications

  • AWS Cloud Platform for Back-End Services

Results

KSB Guard, an application developed by SABO Mobile IT, merges extensive data in a user-friendly way and creates real added value for users. Imminent damage is predicted in advance by KSB Guard and measures can be initiated in time so that on-site operations can be reduced considerably and spare parts can be installed as needed. The attractively designed user interface ensures simple and convenient operation. The overall effect for the plant operator - a reduction in downtime with lower personnel and maintenance costs.

Partners:
  • The sensor unit measures vibrations, temperature, and operating conditions directly on the pump.

  • The transmitter and battery unit supply the sensors with power and transmits the measured data to the communication gateway.

  • The communication gateway transmits the data to the KSB cloud via a mobile phone network in compliance with the latest security standards. 

  • Measured pump information is displayed and evaluated easily and conveniently via web portal and mobile application.

  • KSB Guard collects relevant pump data at defined time intervals, displays it clearly, and enables remote control of the system.

  • The application monitors all pumps and immediately reports any exceeding of limit values, breakdowns, and other problems. Service staff can react immediately without the need to check the pump on site. This helps to minimize damage.

  • Planning and execution of maintenance is based on relevant operating conditions. Thanks to the information available, maintenance is only carried out when it is really necessary. This reduces costs and leads to predictable and less frequent downtimes.

  • New pumps can be registered quickly and easily in the application.

  • All information can be displayed and edited via the web portal or simply in the mobile application on iOS and Android devices.

  • KSB Guard also gives users access to operating manuals and schematic drawings - important information during on-site maintenance.
