Drinking water plant serves as test scenario for IIoT
Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, tests new Industry 4.0 technologies
Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, specializes in the areas of healthcare, life science and electronics. In production, the main focus is on continuously increasing efficiency and safety, but also on sustainability; the entire company has set itself ambitious climate goals. To achieve all of these goals, Merck relies on smart sensor technology and connectivity solutions and is testing the Netilion IIoT ecosystem from Endress+Hauser.
The result
-
The Head of Utility Supply Services, Michael Werske, sees great potential for the IIoT technologies currently in testing in terms of maintaining and repairing plants.
-
In future, maintenance intervals are to be dynamically aligned with the needs of the sensor.
The plan is to deploy new IIoT technologies that prove successful in the test facility in production areas too and to roll them out to the entire plant.

Customer challenge
To ensure that production is continuously optimized in terms of productivity and safety and the latest technology can be used, the engineering staff have a very high level of technological expertise. This is achieved not least by testing product innovations and new products in the areas of measuring technology and the IIoT. Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany, identified the drinking water storage plant as the ideal environment for proof-of-concept scenarios.
Our solution
The tests focus on a wide range of new measuring devices as well as the Netilion IIoT ecosystem from Endress+Hauser. The measured values and other data are displayed in the Netilion Value service and can be accessed via smartphone, tablet PC or stationary computer. For Michael Werske, Head of Utility Supply Services, there is in no doubt that the visual presentation of the data offers great added value: “It allows me to see at a glance that the plant is running within its specifications.”
