Sustainability: a much-discussed topic
How can processes be made more efficient and resource friendly? This question is being asked more frequently as costs rise, resources become more scarce and the sense of responsibility towards future generations grows. SAMSON has developed monitoring and analytical systems, which uncover resource-wasting weak points and identify optimization potential based on the data collected in the field.
The Heat Maker
SAM DISTRICT ENERGY, the industry-specific solution for heating and cooling networks, is a web-based application for managing, controlling and optimizing heating and cooling systems. All key data on connected controllers, utility meters, PLCs and electric actuators are indicated at one central location. Gateways are used to record the energy consumption and make the associated data available on the SAM DISTRICT ENERGY platform. Based on these data, local and district heating networks can be assessed to improve their efficiency.
The Machine Whisperer
SAM SOUND® monitors plant machinery in real time during operation. To do so, machine data are logged by vibration and acceleration sensors, performance data are recorded by inductive contacts on the machines, all data are processed by a cloud-computing system and made available to plant operators as required. Anomalies, which can lead to plant downtime and consequently a standstill in production, can be detected at an early stage. The system also keeps track of machine idle times.
The Creative
SAMSON is manufacturing increasingly more parts on 3D printers rather than using conventional subtractive manufacturing processes in which parts are created from solid blocks by removing material (e.g. through milling). 3D printing is an additive manufacturing method in which parts are built up layer by layer. This method uses considerably less material than subtractive manufacturing.
