DESMI Uplink Enables Remote Support for Ballast Water Management Systems

Dependable high-pressure pumping is vital to modern longwall coal mining operations, but mines are increasingly looking beyond this requirement to apply integrated and automated solutions that respond dynamically to changing production conditions while providing real-time performance data.

Anglian Water has signed a two-year extension to its condition-based monitoring (CBM) framework with industrial artificial intelligence (AI) specialist Samotics. Agreed in April, the framework covers more than 250 clean water assets currently monitored by Samotics’ SAM4 predictive maintenance system across Anglian Water’s operations.

Data is transforming how pumps are made, run and maintained. BPMA CEO Wayne Rose looks at how Digital Product Passports, real-time monitoring and AI are pushing the UK pump industry toward a connected, data-driven future — and why skills and culture matter as much as the technology itself.

As the world faces an escalating water crisis, the industry can no longer afford fragmented infrastructure, Duncan Leathley, area sales director for water utility at Grundfos UK&I, explores why an integrated approach that marries high-efficiency hardware with AI-driven intelligence, is the blueprint for building a resilient global water future.

In marine boiler systems, performance is never defined by a single component. It is the result of how well every element works together under pressure – literally. DESMI has spent decades refining one critical part of that equation: how water flows through high-temperature, high-pressure boiler systems. Not just supplying pumps, but continuously improving how they perform in real operating conditions. Because in this application, efficiency is not enough. Reliability is everything.

DESMI Group delivered strong sales growth in 2025 and further strengthened its market position across several key business areas, despite continued global uncertainty and challenging market conditions.
