About The Customer
Wilo is one of the world’s leading providers of pumps and pump systems for the building services, water management, and industrial sectors. For over 150 years, Wilo has consistently set the standards for pump development, from the creation of the first circulation accelerator in 1928 to the current generation of intelligent, high-efficiency pumps. The multinational company entered the Indonesian market in 2008, when PT Wilo Pumps Indonesia was established as a subsidiary of the Wilo Group. In Indonesia, Wilo Pumps partners with several mining companies, delivering intelligent, efficient, and sustainable pump solutions to meet their needs. Most of the mining companies require Wilo’s services for building dewatering systems at their sites.
The Challenge
Wilo Pumps Indonesia was tasked with designing and delivering a full dewatering system to help prevent future flooding events for a mining company. One of the main challenges that Wilo needed to tackle was the lack of access to the site. Its remote location makes inspecting, repairing, and maintaining the pump system extremely time consuming so the ability to monitor and control it remotely was vital. A smart pump and water management system with remote monitoring capabilities would be the answer to the customer’s requirements as it would also reduce operating costs while improving the reliability and security of the mining operation.
The Solution
Wilo decided to collaborate with Schneider Electric to build a fully integrated dewatering pump system using a combination of EcoStruxure Machine Advisor and AVEVA Edge, which operates on AVEVA Connect. EcoStruxure Machine Advisor offers robust functionalities that allow real-time control of the pump system so it can run immediately and precisely in case of a flooding event. Additionally, EcoStruxure Machine Advisor increases visibility by allowing the maintenance team to monitor machine performance with individual dashboards, predicting machine maintenance, and sending notifications when necessary. It also provides functionalities for troubleshooting and fixing the machines with cloud-based software tools. These features also help to improve machine consistency and performance.
Operational Impact
  • The solution has reduced the mining operation’s energy consumption by up to 20%.
  • It has also cut labor costs by 40% as only one operator is now needed instead of four.
  • Using EcoStruxure Machine, Wilo Pumps Indonesia can now provide its customer with maximum reliability, flexibility, and sustainability.
Quantitative Benefit
  • 20% reduction in energy consumption
  • 25% less downtime through faster fault detection and resolution
  • 40% reduction in labor costs
