Saving Energy at Sea: How IoT Is Making Pump Systems More Efficient
Smart pump control, energy savings, and IMO compliance – with IoT on board This episode explores how BESI Marine Systems GmbH, a specialized provider of automated flow management solutions for ships, teamed up with EXOR Deutschland GmbH to develop a data-driven Pump Energy Saving System (PES). The goal: reduce energy consumption and wear, while meeting international CO₂ regulations from the IMO (e.g., EEXI). BESI is responsible for the system-level implementation – from pump and valve control to integration into the ship’s power grid. EXOR provides the IoT infrastructure via its X Platform: rugged panels, local data storage, and the JMobile software framework for visualization and data processing. The challenge: Relevant operating data must be captured securely and without manipulation under the strict security requirements of maritime systems – without direct cloud connectivity. All data is stored locally on board and made available for analysis onshore. This enables documentation of operating conditions and transparent proof of energy savings. Looking ahead, condition monitoring features are also planned – so maintenance can shift from fixed schedules to a condition-based approach. This episode offers real-world insights for decision-makers in maritime industries and mechanical engineering who want to implement IoT solutions under real operating conditions – with a focus on energy efficiency, data sovereignty, and pragmatic execution. Tune in now to discover how true partnership-driven IoT projects succeed in the maritime world.
IoT as the key to safely handling hazardous substances and protecting the environment
Industrial companies are often faced with the problem of storing and tempering hazardous substances under extreme conditions, while at the same time having to ensure the safety of employees and the smooth running of processes. This is exactly where the solution from EXOR and DENIOS comes in. The smart heating chamber from DENIOS, in combination with the IoT solutions from EXOR, enables precise monitoring and control of processes – even in harsh industrial environments. Challenges that are addressed in episode 142: Safe temperature control of hazardous substances: How can hazardous substances be handled efficiently and safely under strict regulations? Minimizing downtimes: How can it be ensured that the systems run stably and without interruptions? Increasing energy efficiency: How can energy costs be reduced while maintaining high safety standards? Reducing complexity: How can companies use IoT technology without systems becoming too complicated or vulnerable? Solutions provided by EXOR and DENIOS: 24/7 monitoring: With integrated edge devices and cloud solutions, hazardous substance temperatures can be monitored at all times, ensuring greater safety and efficiency. Time and cost savings: By automating processes and reducing system complexity, companies save time when developing and implementing their solutions. Long-term partnership: The cooperation between EXOR and DENIOS enables a future-proof solution that can be continuously developed and addresses future challenges.
