We make sense
The Sulzer Sense solution includes wireless sensors that are attached to any rotating equipment, such as a pump, agitator, or motor. The sensors measure temperature and vibration and send the data to the cloud, where it can be monitored in Sulzer’s online service through mobile, tablet or laptop anywhere and anytime. No manual measurements are required – the customer can set an alert value and will be notified if this value is exceeded.
The cloud-based platform is easy to use and offers secure access to the latest equipment data, documentation, and condition monitoring. This supports predictive maintenance and helps to avoid sudden pump failure and eventual downtime.
With Sulzer Sense, the company launches its next digital innovation. Sulzer continues to develop further predictive maintenance algorithms, machine learning and smart asset management functionalities to maximize the added value for the customers.
Our customer tells
The customer portal and related online services we developed together with you allow our customers to monitor any equipment 24/7, not just process-critical machinery. The measured data enables predictive maintenance and helps to avoid sudden equipment failure and eventual downtime.

Teamwork is dreamwork
The project consisted of creating and building the monitoring equipment, data platform and customer portal. The Sulzer Sense device was codeveloped by Sulzer and Treon, an engineering company located in Tampere, Finland. We took care of building the data platform and customer portal, as well as project coordination. Seamless co-operation between all three parties was a key element in the successful implementation of the solution.
The data platform is built on Microsoft Azure, out of Paas Components, and scales easily from small to global scale. The customer portal was built into an existing SAP Hybris portal which we implemented two years ago, and which serves a large portfolio of users, from Sulzer internal roles to partner networks to end customers. Azure delivers the data securely to Hybris, where it is visualized for easier comprehension.
Our customer tells
If you are looking for a partner who can handle SAP ERP, Hybris and Azure, you’re the natural choice.
