Alert prevents pollution incident and saves €100k
The customer's own vibration system saw nothing. SAM4 picked up the developing fault on the sewage pump and the repair was made before it failed.

Six early alerts to degrading fans save up to 12 hours and €96k in unplanned downtime
Exhaust fans on a wood panel line were degrading unnoticed. Six early alerts let the plant fold every repair into a scheduled stop.

Samotics' clogging detection technology identifies a blockage outside of the pump
The load signature pointed away from the pump itself. The blockage sat outside it, and the operator cleared it before high flow made it a pollution risk.

How Vitens increased operational efficiency by 7% through real-time asset measurements
Three booster pumps at the largest water utility in the Netherlands had lost 10% efficiency. Real-time measurement showed exactly where it had gone.

Improving submersible pump efficiency at Sabesp
SAM4 measured how far the submersible pumps had drifted from their design efficiency, showing the operator where energy was being lost.

Improving baggage handling reliability at London Stansted
Baggage conveyors can only be maintained overnight. SAM4 monitors the drives continuously so faults surface in time for that window.

Identifying and fixing a broken sine wave filter in electric submersible pumps
Recurring ESP problems had no obvious cause. Irregular harmonic and voltage patterns at the surface VFD traced them to a failed sine wave filter.

Early warning of failing heated godet roll prevents $90k in production loss
SAM4 picked up motor overloading on the godet roll early enough for maintenance to be planned, before the fault could stop the production line.

Hydraulically rerating an existing booster pump station to reduce energy cost by €99k a year
Two identical booster pumps ran the same duty. Rerating one to match actual demand cut energy cost while keeping full backup capacity.
