2. Installation
A Busch service technician installs the OTTO IoT Kit into your vacuum pump and tests the connectivity. The kit consists of sensors and a black box that acts as a receptor. The Iot Kit works with a SIM-Card (no Wi-Fi needed).
3. Data Interpretation
Once OTTO is installed and the pumps are registered, the IoT solution can start running. The black box will start getting signals from the sensors, and they will be securely sent to the Busch Cloud. Our TLS Certification provided by DigiCert assures data security. Our algorithms will interpret the signals on the cloud and send the data to the OTTO IoT Dashboard.

4. OTTO IoT Dashboard
The OTTO IoT Dashboard provides you a full overview of your vacuum pumps’ health. OTTO can measure up to 13 different parameters depending on the vacuum pump. A countdown until the next necessary maintenance is also included. To know more about the exact parameters being measured, see our FAQ.
There are two options to access the OTTO IoT Dashboard: via PC or the Busch vacuum app on a smartphone.
OTTO also sends a monthly report summarizing the performance of your vacuum pump and all notifications that were sent. In this report, you also receive a list of action suggestions.

5. Maintenance. Remastered.
Optimize your maintenance and free up time to focus on your core business! Your OTTO dashboard will showcase an alert and send you a notification if something is not going according to plan. Our service technicians are also notified and will contact you to plan a service appointment.
Cost savings. A top priority.
- It’s no secret that cost savings are a top priority in most businesses.
- Stop wasting money and valuable time performing too much or too little maintenance. Let OTTO inform you when it’s the right time to service your vacuum pump and avoid costly breakdowns.
- Save up to 20%* of the purchase price of the vacuum pump by avoiding one overhaul with OTTO.
Example calculation made for a R5 RA 0630 C *Estimate is not guaranteed.
Predictive maintenance uses data analysis tools to predict equipment faults or breakdowns and creates a maintenance schedule to avoid them before they occur in the future.
Preventive maintenance performs routine maintenance work, regardless of the equipment’s current condition, to prevent future equipment failure or breakdowns.
Corrective maintenance repairs equipment and restores functionality in the event of faults or breakdowns.
Unplanned downtime. The hidden cost factor.
Manufacturers lose an average of 800 hours per year, or more than 15 hours per week, of production time due to equipment downtime. Let’s consider a common scenario for a parmesan cheese factory:- Product: Parmesan cheese block weighing 42 kg, estimated total price 378 Dollars (9 Dollars per kg)
- Packaging machine: Chamber packaging machine
- Packaging speed: 3 cheese block packages per minute
- Vacuum Supply: Busch R5 RA 0630 A + PUMA WP 1250 A
- Value created in one hour: 3 cheese blocks per minute x 60 minutes x 378 Dollars per cheese block = 68040 Dollars in one hour
OTTO costs only 1.50 Dollars* per day.
