Unleashing the digital potential of
valve actuators
lectric actuator manufacturer AUMA
has launched CORALINK, its new digital
ecosystem. CORALINK supports plant operators
across all phases of the plant's lifecycle,
from commissioning and predictive
maintenance to active life cycle management
of their AUMA actuators.
Plant operators can ensure sustained
E
plant availability and benefit from simple
and efficient processes in everyday operation.
At the heart of CORALINK is the ability
to evaluate the extensive operating data
that AUMA actuators record automatically
in their role as intelligent field devices. The
data can easily be read from each AUMA actuator,
including via a smartphone.
A new feature is a detailed action plan
with concrete recommendations for action,
which is accessible through just a few
clicks. These recommendations are based
on the combined expertise of AUMA service
experts and decades of field experience.
Plant operators can thus identify maintenance
requirements at an early stage and
take corrective measures in good time.
CORALINK also provides easy online access
to documentation, spare parts ordering
and AUMA service experts.
CORALINK is scalable and can be used
to check the condition of individual critical
actuators, to monitor all the actuators on a
plant, or to implement IIoT solutions.
AUMA provides CORALINK free of charge
in a very comprehensive basic version.

Say goodbye
to outdated
maintenance
schedules with
Busch's digital
technology
Avoid unnecessary costs
CORALINK, AUMA's digital ecosystem, helps
plant operators ensure sustained plant
availability while benefitting from simple and
efficient processes around AUMA actuators.
i.safe MOBILE/Senseven
present Valve Sense
First smart and mobile valve inspection
system for ATEX zones
i
.safe MOBILE, in cooperation with
its technology and strategy partner
Senseven, has launched a new development
for hazardous areas: Valve Sense is a
mobile, smart inspection system for valve
monitoring, which has now been introduced
for ATEX environments. The new system enables
the inspection of critical valves in hazardous
industrial environments and allows
companies to improve the safety, reliability
and efficiency of maintenance processeseasy
to handle and complying with the
strictest safety standards. Valve Sense uses
software and artificial intelligence to detect
potential leaks and safety risks in industrial
valves. Especially in the chemical,
pharmaceutical, petroleum processing and
other demanding industries, malfunctions
in valves pose a great danger and can lead
to considerable consequential damage in
plants.
The product introduction makes the two
companies the first on the market to apply
today's digital capabilities
to an inspection
system.
The user-friendly
kit connects acoustic emission sensors to
i.safe MOBILE's 5G smartphone IS540.x,
transforming it into a smart inspection system
for leak detection in valves. The software
guides the user through the inspection
process and algorithms and artificial intelligence
help interpret the data. The Senseven
app supports the user during the inspection
process, automatically interprets sensor
signals and provides immediate results
on site. All data is automatically stored in a
back office for further analysis and reporting.
This simple solution makes it possible
to inspect industrial assets without training
or expertise. Companies can regularly check
their plants without interrupting the production
process, detect potential hazards
and damage at an early stage and react
promptly.

hile preventative maintenance is a
wise step, it can add unnecessary
costs if equipment is already operating
well. Corrective maintenance can be even
more expensive, take more time and require
more components. Don't forget the cost of
downtime when equipment fails.
With predictive analytics, detect realtime
machine data patterns that might
cause problems. By analyzing data, predict
weeks in advance which machine parts may
fail. This makes it easy for maintenance
teams to plan repairs and order parts beforehand,
minimizing downtime and reducing
the chances of recurring problems.
Innovative IoT technology saves time and
money by guiding maintenance decisions.
Busch offers two types of digital technologies
to transform vacuum pump maintenance
and efficiency. First is the Busch
PLUS intelligent, fully connected vacuum
pump. It combines proven Busch reliability
with monitoring features ready for Industry
4.0. Data is accessed directly on the built-in
display or transferred via a Modbus TCP/IP
client/server protocol.
The second is the OTTO vacuum pump
condition monitoring tool that identifies the
optimal time for pump maintenance. OTTO
is a standalone monitoring tool that transmits
via GSM to a user-friendly web app to
enable convenient monitoring and control.
Both technologies interpret the vacuum
pump and process conditions and signal
when (and what) service is required based
on the actual pump condition.
