What is SMART Pump Technology?

Strategic Maintenance And Remote Telemetry

Run your pumps more efficiently, get real-time OEM support and save the project money. That’s SMART.

As the world continues to get “smarter”, more devices are rolling out with smart capabilities that allow products to be quickly interfaced with computers, in addition to phones and tablets. Now, a new category is emerging in the world of pumps and they’re being called smart pumps. A smart pump offers the ability to connect to other devices to both operate the pumps and to receive diagnostic information related to the performance of the pump. Smart pumps also offer the ability to install firmware or software updates for the purpose of improving performance.

New product lines of smart pumps are beginning to replace older pump systems around the world, owing to their ability to help extend the lifetime of the entire pump system through alerts and preventative maintenance. Smart pumps can achieve these sought-after performance metrics by utilizing a series of sensors that record critical data points which are sent back to the pump operator and the control computer. These sensors are used to relay any issues that may be happening with the pump or its performance. Many sensors and options can be monitored and activated right from a tablet or smartphone which is connected to the pump via Bluetooth.

This new smart pump technology is being distributed to residential and commercial markets and offers much more powerful features than that of the older model high-efficiency pumps. The combination of delicate sensors, bi-directional connectivity (i.e. Bluetooth, programming inputs and outputs), innovative pump control functions, and software updates are the features that make a pump “smart”.

The smart pump allows an array of industry-standard control monitoring, including:

• Seal fluid pressure and temperature
• Bearing temperature
• Rotor RPM
• Hydraulic pressure differential
• Electric motor amp monitoring
• Orientation sensor
• Wireless Acoustic Slurry Flow Meter with Digital Display

What is SCADA?

Una mirada más profunda a los controles inteligentes

El sistema de bombeo de dragado inteligente Eddy Pump es completamente operado y monitoreado de forma remota. Al conectar el sistema de control integrado de dragado con los sistemas SCADA existentes, el dragado es capaz de completar la operación no tripulada y permite menos tiempo de inactividad asociado con la falla del equipo. Muchos modos de mantenimiento comunes se realizan de forma autónoma durante la operación de dragado.

El sistema de control de dragado permite que todas las funciones de la draga sean operadas y monitoreadas a través de sistemas SCADA tradicionales. El sistema de dragado incorpora un gran grado de aprendizaje automático que permite que el sistema de dragado se ajuste automáticamente para un funcionamiento óptimo dentro de diferentes entornos y materiales a eliminar. La visión artificial y el GPS de precisión facilitan una mejor operación de dragado y seguridad de la máquina en comparación con la de los operadores humanos experimentados.

Ajuste de los controles de dragado para un funcionamiento suave y eficiente de la maquinaria y cargas típicas como;

• Cabrestantes de amarre para el movimiento de dragado
• Cabrestante de elevación para subir y bajar la pluma de dragado
• Control de RPM de la bomba para un flujo y una presión óptimos de la tubería
• Control del agitador de la bomba para una mezcla óptima de materiales (mezcladores, cortadores, etc.)
• Control de la bomba de refuerzo de dragado para maximizar la capacidad de una bomba de refuerzo dada para estabilizar la presión de la tubería requerida para cambiar los materiales en ubicaciones de tuberías dadas.

Todos los datos pertinentes del estado y del sensor se registran y se transmiten a los sistemas SCADA existentes para la operación, el monitoreo de alarmas y las entradas del programa de mantenimiento. Esto reduce significativamente el tiempo de inactividad por fallas en el equipo al notificar anomalías antes de la falla completa.

Algunos de los sensores primarios monitoreados incluyen:

• Presión y temperatura de la bomba para comparar con las RPM de la bomba y el rendimiento de la tubería para monitorear el estado de la bomba
• Temperatura y presión del sello de la bomba para comparar con las horas de sellado para monitorear la salud del sello
• Dinámica de dragado para monitorear el rendimiento del sistema de control de cabrestantes
• Niveles de sonido en frecuencias y ubicaciones específicas para facilitar posibles fallas tempranas del equipo.
• Cargas del motor en comparación con la salida de la bomba para proteger los modos de falla electromecánico-hidráulico.

The EDDY Smart Pump

EDDY Pump Corporation introduces the newest development in pump technology, the Smart Pump. This pump includes the smart capability of monitoring all critical functions and variables in any pump or dredging application. These sensors are used to virtually eliminate downtime caused by operator error or equipment malfunction while also optimizing pump and dredge performance.

Eddy Smart Pump Technology will be optionally equipped with radios to enable connections through Bluetooth, WiFi, 4G, and satellite. The smart pump controller can be used as a simple pump controller or can be easily connected to larger systems such as a submersible dredge or surface dredge, enabling easy integration of all capabilities and sensors into more complex systems.

Smart Pump Benefits

The primary cause of pump and dredge downtime is faulty components and incorrectly used equipment. The Eddy Smart Pump controller protects the pump from most, if not all, possible failure conditions, even in an intentional and unattended state. As more smart pumps are put to use, the EDDY Smart Pump will be able to:

Improve OEM Service and Pump Maintenance: By using integrated hardware and sensors installed on the pumps, we can now have a direct look at the performance of deployed pumps. With the ability to monitor performance over time, service and pump maintenance support can be more proactive, as a result, extending the life of the pump.

Further product innovation: With smart pump technology, we can see how the end-user is operating the pump in real-time. Manufacturers can, in turn, use this data to improve features of the pump or reduce manufacturing costs for the next generation of products.

Optional Wireless Acoustical Slurry Flow Meter: With our innovative acoustical flow meter, you can wirelessly attach the device to any size slurry hose or pipeline from 1-inch to 24-inches. The meter measures the flow of liquid or slurry in real-time, allowing operators to fully optimize the use of the pump. In addition, installation takes less than an hour and comes with a digital display that can be mounted anywhere. The display will allow the pump operator to visually see real-time flow rates and adjust as needed to give maximum versatility.

Ultimately, historical and live telemetry of all pump and dredge pumps will be able to be viewed in real-time online. The most powerful feature, second to active pump protection, will be the ability to develop empirical pump performance metrics from all running systems which will greatly improve and simplify system designs for future products.

In summary, the smart pump is poised to be an absolute game-changer in the world of industrial pumps. Reduced downtime and higher production rates are entirely possible due to the smart pump’s unique ability to monitor a number of variables based on the conditions of the project.
