Perinet Use Case Pressure monitoring of mobile concrete pumps (Perinet)

The challenge

A manufacturer of mobile concrete pumps needed a reliable system for monitoring line pressure. The aim was to recognise overpressure situations at an early stage in order to prevent damage to the equipment and safety risks. At the same time, the solution needed to be robust and mobile.

Realisation

  • periNODE adapters continuously record the pipe pressure via sensors installed directly on the hydraulic pump.
  • The data is transferred to a periMICA Edge computer, which stores it locally and visualises it in a web-based dashboard.
  • Critical pressure increases trigger alarms, which are reported both visually and by notifications to the control centre.
  • The entire solution is designed for mobile use and is powered by the vehicle battery.

Added value

  • Safety benefit: Real-time alarms warn of dangerous pressure rises, preventing potential damage and downtime.
  • Flexibility: The system can be expanded with additional sensors without the need for reconfiguration.
  • Cost efficiency: The cost of the basic configuration per vehicle is a fraction of the cost of a single damage or failure.
  • Ease of use: Installation is possible directly on the vehicle, without additional housings or protective devices.

Additional application options

  • Oil and gas industry: Monitoring of pipeline pressure at pumping stations or conveyor systems.
  • Water management: Monitoring pressure conditions in water pipes or desalination plants.
  • Vehicle construction: Monitoring of hydraulic pressure systems in mobile or stationary applications, e.g. cranes or forklift trucks.
