Smart Water Pump IoT Subscription Cost | Connected Monitoring Solutions by EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd
Transform Your Pump from a Reactive Asset into a Proactive, Data-Driven System
A Smart Water Pump IoT subscription provides continuous monitoring, predictive alerts, and performance optimization, moving your maintenance strategy from schedule-based to condition-based. The cost is an operational investment that prevents costly failures, slashes energy waste, and extends equipment life. EKG (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd offers flexible IoT monitoring plans to match the criticality and scale of your pumping assets.
This is not just an app; it's a managed service. A typical subscription includes:
Hardware: IoT sensor module(s) for vibration, temperature, power draw, pressure, and flow (as required).
Secure Connectivity: 4G/LTE-M or NB-IoT data transmission with a local SIM card.
Cloud Dashboard & Analytics: 24/7 access to a secure portal showing real-time status, trends, and efficiency metrics.
Alerting Engine: Customizable alarms via SMS, Email, or WhatsApp for anomalies (e.g., pump dry-run, high vibration, low efficiency).
Reports & Insights: Automated health reports, energy consumption analysis, and maintenance recommendations.
Technical Support: Access to support for the monitoring platform itself.
Monitoring Depth: Basic (status/on-off) vs. Advanced (full vibration analysis, power quality, harmonic distortion).
Number of Pumps / Data Points: Cost per pump typically decreases with volume.
Data Frequency & Resolution: Real-time streaming vs. periodic data logging.
Service Level Agreement (SLA): Response time for alerts and platform uptime guarantee.
Integration Requirements: API access to your BMS/CMMS or customized reporting dashboards.
Costs are usually structured as an annual or monthly recurring fee, separate from any initial hardware purchase or installation.
Example Service Tiers:
Tier 1: Essential Monitoring
Ideal for: Non-critical pumps, basic oversight.
Includes: On/Off status, run hours, basic fault alerts (stopped, dry-run).
Billing: Often a simple flat fee per pump per month.
Tier 2: Predictive Maintenance
Ideal for: Critical pumps in commercial/industrial settings.
Includes: All Tier 1 features + vibration analysis, temperature monitoring, efficiency tracking, predictive failure alerts.
Billing: Fee per pump, often based on monitored parameters.
Tier 3: Advanced Analytics & Integration
Ideal for: Mission-critical systems, large portfolios, energy optimization projects.
Includes: All Tier 2 features + advanced analytics (cavitation detection, wear forecasting), API integration, custom reporting, and dedicated account support.
Billing: Custom quote based on scope and scale.
Justifying the subscription cost is based on avoided costs and captured savings:
Avoided Downtime: Prevent a single major breakdown that could cost thousands in lost production or emergency repairs.
Energy Savings: Identify and correct inefficient operation, often saving 10-20% on pump energy costs.
Maintenance Optimization: Move from costly calendar-based maintenance to precise, need-based servicing.
Extended Asset Life: Proactive care can add years to a pump's operational lifespan.
Feasibility Assessment: We identify which pumps are candidates and what key parameters to monitor.
Pilot Program: Often starts with a single pump to demonstrate value before scaling.
Transparent Pricing Proposal: Clear breakdown of hardware (one-time) and subscription (recurring) costs.
Professional Installation & Setup: Our technicians install sensors and commission the digital twin.
Training & Handover: We train your team on using the dashboard and responding to alerts.
