In Facility Management, the efficient operation of building systems is essential for ensuring occupant comfort and minimizing operational costs. Pumps are widely used in a variety of different systems across the whole facility. Whether it's HVAC systems, water distribution networks, heating or cooling system, they’re all highly susceptible to both seasonal and quick daily demand fluctuations. For that reason, a static set-point pumping solutions lead to inefficiencies and unnecessary energy consumption when such power is not actually required in most cases. Calibrating the flow is crucial to eliminate waste caused by such fluctuations.
Caleno is our patented system for active set-point modulation. By seamlessly integrating our plug-and-play PLC technology with existing pumping infrastructure, we provide a seamless solution that requires minimal disruption to building operations. Through precise set-point modulation, our system ensures that water flow is dynamically adjusted to match real-time demand, optimizing energy usage and operational efficiency. Our user-friendly application allows you to monitor water usage trends, identify inefficiencies, and implement targeted strategies.
In January 2023 we started a pilot project with a major Italian player in the food & beverage industry. We implemented our set-point optimisation system on 18 different pumps, achievning an average 34% energy saving across the whole year. In 2024, our system is quickly scaling in different sites across the country, involving not only the heating system but also the production lines.
No, the system exclusively modifies the inverter. Conversely, by optimizing and reducing rotation speed, it prolongs the lifespan of components, enhancing machinery reliability.
Certainly! Our A.I. is compatible with any pump from any manufacturer, type, and size. The year of production of the machinery does not affect the improvement margin, achieving high energy savings both on obsolete machinery without replacing them and on newly installed machinery by optimizing their operation.
It will be enough to update the machinery on our platform by entering the new model, and the system will reconfigure the digital twin autonomously in a few seconds without disconnecting our PLC.
No, it is not necessary. Our PLC is certified, and the installation is non-invasive. Our technicians will take care of connecting the PLC and configuring the system without interrupting the plant.
While it's possible to adjust various parameters directly from Caleno, our modulation system operates in parallel with existing systems, prioritizing their functionality.
Indeed, Caleno's modularity enables it to gather and analyze data from any system or sensor, seamlessly integrating it with existing data for comprehensive analysis.
Caleno not only provides real-time data on system operation and saving results (flow rate, head, absorption, efficiency, saved energy and CO2, economical savings etc.) without using any sensors. Thanks to its higher accuracy and complex AI models ensure higher savings in any condition, no calibration required.
Maintenance operations are a substantial cost for industrial plants, alongside energy expenses, not only due to service-related expenditures but also as a result of inevitable downtimes. Predictive maintenance emerges as the pivotal strategy for reducing maintenance costs. Yet, conventional predictive maintenance software often falls short in delivering tangible cost reductions solely through pre-fault intervention planning.
What truly sets us apart is our ability to minimize intervention time and costs by accurately identifying the root cause of upcoming faults or anomaly and, most importantly, significantly reduce the recurrence of such faults to enhance asset health. Caleno, our advanced predictive maintenance ecosystem, relies on certified analysts who continuously monitor and analyze multiple streams of operational data. This enables us to promptly address any problem with clear and practical instructions tailored to your specific production needs. Our solution is more than just a maintenance scheduling tool; it's a comprehensive ecosystem comprising advanced sensors, a user-friendly platform, and a 24/7 dedicated services designed to optimize your asset performance, minimize fault recurrence, extend asset lifespan and streamline maintenance processes to drastically reduce maintenance time and costs.
Our solutions are plug & play because we know time is key for any business. We'll take care of anything to get started in no-time, from planning to execution.
