Remote maintenance refers to the ability to monitor, control and maintain technical systems remotely via digital communication channels. In industrial water treatment, this is an essential tool for increasing operational stability, minimizing downtimes and optimizing processes. The technology is based on networking system components with central control stations or mobile devices, giving operators and maintenance teams access to important operating data at all times.

Technical background

Remote maintenance systems rely on secure data transfer protocols such as VPN connections or specially encrypted networks. Core components are:

  1. PLC controllers (programmable logic controllers):
    Transmit process data in real time.

  2. Sensors and actuators:
    Record critical parameters such as flow rate, pressure, temperature or pH value.

  3. HMI interfaces (Human Machine Interface):
    Visualize the data on operating panels or mobile devices.

Areas of application in water and wastewater technology

  1. Online fault diagnosis:
    Faults and deviations in operation can be quickly detected and analyzed. This enables proactive measures to be taken before major damage or failures occur.

  2. Keeping the operating logbook:
    All relevant operating data is recorded automatically. This makes it easier to prove compliance with legal regulations to authorities and customers.

  3. Optimization of process control:
    Operating parameters can be continuously monitored and adjusted if necessary to ensure maximum efficiency and resource conservation.
