Schaeffler's intelligent package ensures reliable pump operation
At the Hannover Messe 2018, Schaeffler will present intelligent packages for machine monitoring and lubrication, illustrated using reference projects. One such customer is the Perlenbach water supply association, which supplies fresh drinking water to around 50,000 residents in seven municipalities of Germany's Eifel region every day. Ensuring fault-free, reliable operation would mean manning and monitoring the association's facilities 24 hours a day, as bearing defects in the centrifugal pumps could cause them to fail and compromise the security of the water supply. Perlenbach therefore decided to utilise a system that would continuously monitor and lubricate the machinery. In Schaeffler, the water supply association found an expert partner to help implement a Predictive Maintenance system.
