Self-sensing technology

Micropump monitors itself and detects anomalies without additional external sensors
Many analysis and processing tasks in industry, particularly in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries, require the handling of extremely small quantities of liquids. The precise dosing of liquids or gases is a challenging task. This is why micropumps are increasingly being used in these industries.

To ensure high dosing accuracy and reliability, it is crucial to detect potential faults and failures at an early stage. One of the most common malfunctions in micro dosing technology are small gas bubbles, which can inevitably occur during practical operation. These disturbances can lead to dosing errors and affect the efficiency of production processes if the desired amount of liquid or gas is not dosed correctly.

Revolutionary self-sensing technology for a self-monitoring micropump
In collaboration with leading research institutes, RAPA has developed a self-sensing technology that has been integrated directly into our micropump. This innovative technology offers numerous advantages for industrial applications. Our self-monitoring micropump detects anomalies and faults in dosing, such as the formation of bubbles, without the use of additional external sensors. Thanks to the integrated self-sensing technology, the dosing system can monitor its own status in real time and immediately detect any errors or faults.

AI detects gas bubbles - A new dimension of precision
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) enables our self-monitoring micropump to reliably detect gas bubbles and their size. By analyzing the micropump's control signal and the piezo effect, the pump can react precisely and in good time to any gas bubbles that occur. This groundbreaking development represents a new dimension of precision in dosing and ensures improved efficiency and safety in industrial processes.
