Reducing installation
and commissioning effort and at the same time get comprehensive data and diagnostics. Increase efficiency and transparency.
Aalborg Forsyning, the municipal utility of
Aalborg in Denmark, relies on the SIMATIC Compact Field Unit from Siemens: the
smart I/O box for connecting field devices and facilitating data collection for
predictive maintenance and future projects.
This box is so perfect for us that you could almost
think that we invented it.
Brian Elgaard Eriksen, employee in the mains
operations department at Aalborg Forsyning
Both installation and troubleshooting have become significantly easier, many hours have
been saved to perform this work
Less space on
the panels required, as SIMATIC CFU replaces several pieces of equipment
Cost saving: less equipment and less material required, only one cable
needs to be laid to the main panel in the technical
facilities room
Improved data collection: all devices and components
are integrated into the network
Predictive maintenance based on collected data: identification when pumps are worn, if a pump is consuming more
power and whether its flow rate is decreasing
