It\u2019s a division that is highly emerging as a key offering in DESMI\u2019s broad portfolio \u2013 with the potential to extend far beyond traditional pumping applications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>On a sustainable roll<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>\u201cDESMI is expanding with our markets,\u201d says Brian Enevoldsen. \u201cAnd we can see that our solid track record in automation is likely to be a key driver in this growth in the years to come.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Much of the growth he describes is being driven by high-priority customer needs for new cost-efficiencies and competitive advantages, as well as steadily increasing pressure on shipping, offshore and industrial companies for a greener, more sustainable profile. And automation is stepping in to help them meet such challenges.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aiming high<\/strong><br \/>\nAt DESMI, there\u2019s no shortage of ambition for the new automation division. It\u2019s backed, on the one hand, by years of experience in automating energy optimisation and, on the other, by recent investments in expertise and infrastructure to fuel development and delivery.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe want to be regarded by our customers as the best automation supplier in our segment,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>says Brian Enevoldsen.\u00a0<em>\u201cSo instead of resting on our successes in the automation field, we\u2019ve embarked on a programme of continuous improvement in services, processes and performance.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Part of this programme, was the early 2017 acquisition of CSEN, a company whose electrical engineers have all the skills needed to help DESMI design and manufacture a greater number of the components used in its integrated solutions. With more control over switchboards, cabling and motor, for example, the company can now automate and optimise every aspect of complete equipment skids \u2013 and provide a single point of contact for resolving any technical issues. The acquisition also gave new capabilities in the fast-growing field of power quality management, too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Optimising through automation<\/strong><br \/>\nFor Brian Enevoldsen and his newly expanded team, however, it\u2019s the promise of automation that is in focus:<em>\u00a0\u201cAutomation is integral in so many things today \u2013 and optimizing energy consumption through automation is one of the most rewarding applications, both for our customers and for our planet.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>While DESMI laid the cornerstone for its automation capabilities in the world of industrial pumps, ensuring they only operate when required and at the actual energy level needed, DESMI Automation has its divisional eye on a bigger picture:\u00a0<em>\u201cWe\u2019re extending our optimisation expertise beyond pumps to a range of other applications where automation can make a difference.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Maritime matters<\/strong><br \/>\nIn recent years, the maritime industry has been seeking savings wherever possible. Yet automation has been surprisingly slow to make inroads, with comparatively few ships optimising their energy consumption for pumps and similar systems, despite clear and compelling business cases. Now, however, the push is on not just to save money, but to comply with heightened environmental protection legislation, too. Here, DESMI and its automation division is a hard act to beat, especially on its home ground of industrial pump systems.<\/p>\n<p>Brian Enevoldsen explains why:\u00a0<em>\u201cWe\u2019re able to make a significant difference because we have a very strong brand in the pump business as a global manufacturer. It\u2019s our DNA, you might say. We know our pumps thoroughly and we\u2019ve had more experience than most with optimising these systems with the help of automation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Already, hundreds of\u00a0Optisave\u2122\u00a0systems, for example, have been installed on board vessels of many different types. Optisave\u2122 leverages automation to save energy by providing intelligent control of the ship\u2019s cooling water system. And, with a typical investment payback period as brief as 12 to 15 months, the systems have quickly proved their worth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Two-sided equation<\/strong><br \/>\nGoing further into the core business of pumps, ventilation and compressors is nothing new for DESMI\u2019s automation team. The company\u2019s\u00a0Optipower\u2122\u00a0automated solutions are a case in point. Optipower\u2122 manages the quality of power offered to systems to reduce loss within the electrical network, prevent damage from electrical distortion, and ensure that equipment such as transformers and cables is not oversized. All maritime classification societies now have regulations that require power quality to be measured on board ships as of January 1st, 2017. Many shipowners, however, are likely to first discover these requirements when docking \u2013 comprising a risk to continued operations. And DESMI Automation stands ready to help them resolve the problem as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThese days, DESMI views almost every one of these automation projects as a two-sided equation,\u201c<\/em>\u00a0says Brian Enevoldsen.\u00a0<em>\u201cIt\u2019s a win for shipowners and for land-based industries deploying automation in this way, and it\u2019s a win in the fight against global warming, too. We\u2019re undeniably proud to be contributing directly to the achievement of the UN\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals in this way \u2013 and really, we\u2019ve just beginning this sustainability journey where automated energy optimisation is concerned. Even solar and wind energy applications are in our development searchlight, too.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Agile development partner<\/strong><br \/>\nThere\u2019s another asset, too, that differentiates DESMI from the larger players in the automation and pumping solution sectors. It\u2019s the flexibility and inherent responsiveness of being a smaller player in the automation field.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe\u2019re better able to think out of the box than some of the largest companies in the marketplace \u2013 and quickly act on those thoughts. We want to be the people you call if you have a good idea for a green solution where automation could play a role, and you need a partner to turn that idea into reality. We\u2019ve got all the skills, and are keen to participate in joint developments across many different industries and applications.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Success factors<\/strong><br \/>\nOne particular factor must be present in all DESMI Automation solutions: high quality. It\u2019s a core component of the DESMI brand, and part of what has built the company\u2019s success to date.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe\u2019re flexible in what we can develop with our customers and business partners, and in the way we bring solutions to market, but quality is non-negotiable at DESMI,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>says Brian Enevoldsen.\u00a0<em>\u201cAnd that\u2019s the key reason that there\u2019s no doubt in my mind DESMI Automation will get the chance to bring value to many different spheres where our skills and technology can make a worthwhile difference.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For more information visit:<a href=\"http:\/\/www.desmi.com\">\u00a0www.desmi.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Industrial pump and energy optimisation producer DESMI aims to be the go-to source for customers and companies that hope to solve energy efficiency problems smarter and more cost-effectively via automation.
