HIGHLIGHTS
- Water system operators use the AdiNexus Industrial IoT Gateway to collect and centralize operational data from water pumps, motors, sensors, meters, PLCs, and associated equipment.
- The gateway connects water pumps, motor starters, VFDs, flow meters, pressure sensors, level sensors, energy meters, PLCs, and other field devices into a unified data collection environment.
- Multi-protocol connectivity enables integration between pump control systems, PLCs, SCADA platforms, and cloud monitoring applications.
- Edge data processing supports real-time water pump data acquisition, local processing, event detection, and data logging—even during network interruptions.
- Secure remote connectivity allows operators to monitor pump status, flow, pressure, energy consumption, runtime, and equipment conditions from centralized locations.
The Challenge – Managing Industrial Energy Data
Water pumping systems often include multiple pumps, motors, VFDs, sensors, meters, and control panels distributed across different pumping stations. Operational data from these devices may remain separated across local control systems.
Collecting pump information into a centralized monitoring environment can be difficult without a dedicated industrial data connectivity layer. Manual readings and disconnected equipment data can make it harder to maintain continuous visibility into pump operation, energy usage, and equipment conditions.
Distributed Pump Data
Pump operating data is often spread across multiple pumping stations, control panels, PLCs, VFDs, and field instruments.
Limited Centralized Visibility
Operators may not have centralized access to pump status, flow, pressure, runtime, and energy information from different locations.
Multiple Pump Control Systems
Different pumps may use PLCs, VFDs, motor starters, energy meters, and sensors that require a common data collection layer.
Pump Performance Monitoring Gaps
Without continuous data collection, changes in pump runtime, flow, pressure, energy consumption, or operating conditions can be difficult to identify.
Delayed Fault Detection
Pump trips, overloads, abnormal pressure, low flow, high energy consumption, and other operating events may not be identified immediately.
Disconnected Monitoring Systems
Pump data may remain within local control systems without being connected to centralized SCADA, dashboards, or data analytics applications.

The Solution – Intelligent Water Pump Data Collection
AdiNexus Gateway acts as the digital connectivity layer linking water pumps, motors, VFDs, sensors, meters, and control systems with centralized monitoring platforms.
Installed within pump control panels or electrical infrastructure, the gateway collects pump operating data, processes it locally, and transfers relevant information to SCADA or cloud applications.
Integrated Systems
AdiNexus connects with:
- Water pumps and pump motors
- VFDs and motor starters
- Flow meters
- Pressure sensors
- Level sensors
- Energy meters
- PLCs and pump controllers
- Electrical monitoring devices
Supports Modbus, OPC-UA, and MQTT for connecting different industrial devices and monitoring platforms.
Real-Time Water Pump Monitoring
Operators can monitor:
- Pump running and stopped status
- Pump start and stop events
- Motor operating status
- Pump runtime
- Flow rate
- Discharge pressure
- Suction pressure
- Tank and reservoir levels
- Motor current and voltage
- Power consumption
- VFD operating parameters
- Pump alarms and fault status
This provides centralized visibility into water pump operation and performance.
Edge Data Collection
AdiNexus processes water pump data close to the connected equipment:
- Automatic water pump data acquisition
- Local pump and motor monitoring
- Data processing at the edge
- Event and alarm detection
- On-gateway data logging
- Local data buffering during connectivity interruptions
Collected data can be synchronized with connected monitoring platforms after network connectivity is restored.
Water Pump Fault & Event Monitoring
AdiNexus can collect pump operating events and abnormal conditions from connected controllers, VFDs, sensors, and meters.
- Pump trip and fault events
- Motor overload conditions
- High and low pressure conditions
- Low or abnormal flow conditions
- High motor current
- Excessive energy consumption
- Pump start and stop events
- VFD alarms and operating faults
This helps operations and maintenance teams identify pump operating conditions that may require inspection or maintenance.
Cloud & SCADA Integration
Collected water pump data can be connected to:
- Water infrastructure SCADA systems
- Cloud monitoring platforms
- Pump monitoring dashboards
- Water operations analytics applications
- Central control room systems
- Pump performance monitoring platforms
This enables data from multiple pumping stations and pump groups to be accessed through a centralized monitoring environment.
Water Pump Data Analytics
Collected data can support analysis of:
- Pump runtime and operating cycles
- Pump start and stop frequency
- Flow rate trends
- Pressure trends
- Motor current and voltage
- Energy consumption
- Pump operating efficiency indicators
- Fault and alarm history
- VFD operating conditions
- Historical pump performance
This creates a connected data layer for centralized water pump monitoring, operational visibility, and performance analysis.
