Sulzer enters digital collaboration16 May 2023

Sulzer  Siemens Large Drives Applications pumps

Sulzer and Siemens Large Drives Applications (LDA) are delivering a solution to operators of large centrifugal pumps that improves equipment reliability and cuts operations costs.

As part of the deal, Sulzer’s artificial intelligence based analytics platform Blue box will now be complemented by predictive maintenance data from Siemens LDA’S sidrive IQ, an Internet of Things platform for smart fleet management of drive systems and solutions.

Initially, operators will have access to more relevant information in one place, will be able to make better decision based on health and operations-data of the entire pump drive trains and will benefit through more effective service support in case of incidents. Furthermore, operators will be able to plan maintenance events more accurately and determine the health of the pump drive system on-demand.

The combined data from Blue Box and Sidrive IQ as well as expert support will allow the operators to identify actions that control lifecycle costs and reduce carbon footprints.

Dr. Marc Heggemann, head digital solutions Sulzer Services, said: “Our collaboration with Siemens LDAs offers an excellent opportunity to further improve asset performance, reduce downtime and maximise efficiency, all of which help to reduce operating costs. This is the starting point for us, we will work with customers to develop the idea much further and include additional functionality to maximise the potential of this exceptional concept.”
