Condition monitoring for water utilities

Monitor the condition of critical pumps from your motor control cabinets

Submerged sewage pumps, Archimedes screw pumps, and borehole pumps are difficult to monitor and maintain. With Samotics, you get real-time insights into your equipment, along with predictive alerts that tell you exactly when and where maintenance is needed.

Trusted by global water utilities

Emergency repairs and maintenance inspections are expensive

Without condition monitoring, pump failures are often detected too late, making it difficult to address issues before they escalate. Early detection is crucial to reduce costs connected to emergency repairs and unnecessary maintenance inspection.

Without real-time pump insights, blockages can go unnoticed for a while, leading to sewage overflows, expensive fines and negative media attention.

By using Electrical Signature Analysis to monitor your pumps, you can get a comprehensive view of their condition and performance without needing direct access to the assets.

Time-based maintenance for submerged water pumps overlooks performance between checks. Condition-based monitoring provides continuous tracking, and allows to schedule maintenance only when needed.

Why SAM4

SAM4 is the leading solution to remotely monitor hard-to-reach assets

By installing our hardware in the motor control cabinet, our technology detects early signs of mechanical issues, electrical faults and blockages so that you can do maintenance only when required.

Early intervention on critical faults and pump blockages prevents major network disruptions and costly overflows. Our timely alerts help your maintenance teams act quickly and keep your operation running without incidents.

Electrical Signature Analysis provides detailed drivetrain insights by measuring voltage and current from the motor control cabinet, making it the most effective solution for monitoring submerged pumps.

Forget heavy lifting and difficult access points. Samotics lets you install hardware safely and easily in the motor control cabinet, streamlining your monitoring process.

Energy optimization

Reduce energy waste to make your company more profitable and build a sustainable future

Over 300 million industrial motors consume 35% of global electricity. Reducing energy use is not just about cost savings, it’s vital to build a sustainable future.

High energy costs impact your bottom line and the environment. Samotics helps you improve asset performance, reducing expenses and lowering CO2 emissions.

Use a real-time pump curve to correct a pump that’s operating outside of its best efficiency point. This helps you save energy, cut costs, and prevent wear and tear on your pump.

Get concrete recommendations from our team of experts on how to realize the biggest savings opportunities on your pumps.

Assets

94% detection accuracy rate for your critical pumps and motors

Wastewater

Sewage pumps

Sewage pumps are vital for transporting wastewater from various locations to treatment facilities, managing raw sewage movement and sludge management. Monitoring these pumps is essential to ensure the reliable operation of any wastewater system.

Wastewater

Archimedes screw pumps

Archimedes screw pumps are highly efficient devices for transporting liquids, especially in wastewater treatment applications. When these pumps fail, they can cause major disruptions, increase maintenance costs, and pose environmental risks.

Wastewater

Mixers

Mixers are important for keeping the sludge well-mixed and helping treatment processes work properly in wastewater systems. If a mixer fails, it can cause problems that harm the environment and lead to fines for not meeting regulations.

Testimonials

Leading water utilities choose Samotics

Temporary issues with the site telemetry meant the only visibility we had was via the Samotics unit. Thanks to the alert system we were able to urgently attend this site, investigate and remove blockages that would have led to pollution of the local environment.

Yorkshire Water

This technology is ideal for borehole pumps. They can be 150–180 meters below ground, so having to fit a monitor to that borehole pump would be very tricky. Every time there is an issue with it, you would need a crane on site as well as a group of technicians to lift the pump. So having the SAM4 in the MCC is easy to set up and easy to maintain.
