Samotics expands industrial AI into the Middle East
Dutch industrial AI developer Samotics has signed a strategic partnership for its power-based condition monitoring and energy optimization technology into the Middle East.
The deal with the Seed Group, a company of the Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum, will support the expansion of operations in the Emirates and the wider Middle East region.
The companies will collaborate to identify approaches and opportunities to use the Samotics AI-based analysis for industrial companies in the region, notably oil and gas and chemicals.
The SAM4 technology uses a technique called electrical signature analysis (ESA) that monitors the current and voltage signals of electric-driven equipment such as motors, pumps and conveyors.
- €14.5m for industrial AI
- ABB takes stake to expand AI predictive maintenance
- Predictive maintenance at the edge cuts bandwidth
This is the company’s first entry into the Middle Eastern market, having so far focussed on water and wastewater, steel and chemical markets. The technology monitors thousands of assets for over 80 customers across five continents. Customer include Northumbrian Water, Pidpa and Yorkshire Water, and the company has a strategic deal with European motor maker ABB.
“Our SAM4 solution is demonstrating clear value for industries globally, helping to identify developing faults, streamline maintenance approaches and meet carbon reduction targets. We are excited to be partnering with Seed Group to bring this technology to the Middle East and support businesses to unlock the full potential of asset performance data to improve efficiencies, save costs and optimize operation,” said Jasper Hoogeweegen, CEO at Samotics.
The system’s sensors install in the motor control cabinet, rather than on the machine being monitored, enabling reliable, remote capture of high-quality performance and efficiency data. This allows potential problems to be identified in advance and preventative maintenance scheduled in before the problems occur.
The SAM4 Health system uses ESA and machine learning for fault detection accuracy, detecting over 90% of failures up to five months in advance.
SAM4 Energy is a continuous monitoring system for industrial equipment efficiency and provides detailed performance and efficiency insights to identify where energy consumption, cost and efficiency losses are largest and implement data-driven recommendations.
“Teaming up with Samotics will enable us to bring the latest technologies to help companies through downtimes. The innovative AI solutions by Samotics will make it possible for industries to enhance their performance and contribute to the national and regional economies through intuitive and predictive maintenance,” said Hisham Al Gurg, CEO of Seed Group and the Private Office of Sheikh Saeed bin Ahmed Al Maktoum.
