Samotics joins Siemens Xcelerator partner ecosystem with its leading monitoring system for AC motors and rotating equipment based on electrical signature analysis (ESA) technology.

ESA technology has been integrated into NXpower Monitor, delivering asset health and energy efficiency insights for electric-driven equipment. ESA will extend NXpower Monitor’s capabilities to deliver an end-to-end asset monitoring offering for the entire energy distribution system.

Integration of ESA technology into NXpower Monitor

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has integrated ESA technology from Samotics into NXpower Monitor

Siemens Smart Infrastructure has integrated electrical signature analysis (ESA) technology from Samotics into NXpower Monitor, its industry-renowned digital caretaker for electrical networks. Using ESA and Machine Learning, Samotics provides real-time actionable insights to help global industrial companies eliminate industrial energy waste and unplanned downtime.

This new capability leverages the ecosystem of Siemens Xcelerator, an open digital business platform that enables customers to accelerate their digital transformation easier, faster, and at scale.

NXpower Monitor

NXpower Monitor enables the visualization and monitoring of electrical assets within electrical networks, providing health status, KPI calculation, energy monitoring, and monitoring of operational data from assets.

This comprehensive asset monitoring system enhances efficiency and risk management across the entire energy distribution network through continuous health monitoring, while simultaneously minimizing CO2 emissions and OPEX.

AI-powered electrical signature analysis (ESA) technology

By integrating AI-powered electrical signature analysis (ESA) technology, Siemens broadens its application to include the monitoring of AC motors and rotating equipment, all accessible through a single pane of glass.

Stephan May, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Electrification and Automation at Siemens Smart Infrastructure, said “The digitalization of energy distribution, automation systems, and networks brings many advantages. Not only does it lead to substantial savings in terms of time and money, it also significantly boosts efficiency and reliability.

Adding Samotics to Siemens Xcelerator

Thanks to ESA technology, NXpower Monitor conducts real-time analysis of high-quality current and voltage data

Stephan May adds, “By adding Samotics to Siemens Xcelerator, our open ecosystem of certified partners, customers can benefit from an expanded offering. This reflects our continued innovation efforts, including the integration of advanced low voltage analysis into our digital caretaker - NXpower Monitor.

Thanks to ESA technology, NXpower Monitor conducts real-time analysis of high-quality current and voltage data, enabling the detection of electrical and mechanical faults up to five months before downtime happens.

System delivers Performance and efficiency insights

Furthermore, the system delivers comprehensive performance and efficiency insights, pin-pointing areas with the highest electricity consumption, cost, and efficiency losses. By implementing data-driven recommendations, organizations can optimize operational processes, significantly reducing energy waste and cutting CO2 emissions by up to 15%.

Jasper Hoogeweegen, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Samotics said: "Unplanned downtime and energy waste are among the most expensive problems in industry. Traditional monitoring technologies do not adequately address these issues.

Attaining real-time, actionable information

Jasper Hoogeweegen adds, “However, through partnerships with forward-thinking organizations, such as Siemens, customers are benefiting from ESA technology that delivers real-time, actionable information about the condition, performance, and energy efficiency of critical rotating equipment. This helps our clients to effectively improve the performance and energy efficiency of their critical assets.
