Subscription service for automatic reordering

Filtration systems are important components in industrial plants such as chemical factories or power plants. They help to reliably separate substances or clean wastewater and air. Over time, the filters become clogged and their particle loading condition approaches the maximum permissible value. As a result, the filter effect drops sharply, so that the air quality of room air filters, for example, can no longer be guaranteed. As a consequence, the filters must be checked regularly and replaced if necessary. This is often a manual process, with one employee checking the filters and arranging for replacements. Only in some areas are there automatic load status messages, for example for soot particle filters in diesel vehicles. Whether a particular filtration system sends such messages depends, among other things, on its age – until a few years ago, these systems were too technically complex. A manufacturer of filtration equipment wanted to offer its customers alternatives to manual processes. In addition, they wanted to build a better customer relationship through this, so that their high-quality filters are reordered for the exchange. Due to the manual processes, many users resort to cheap products, which, however, are often of low quality. The offer to check the loading status and automatic reordering provides customers with an additional benefit: New filters arrive precisely when the maximum value is reached, and users have to store fewer filters. This can reduce the amount of capital tied up, especially for large customers. In addition, the effort required to check the filters decreased.
