Miura Embraces Innovation and IoT for Efficiencies and Sustainability
No matter the industry, regular machinery maintenance is imperative for a business’s daily operational functioning and to ensure the equipment’s longer lifespan. Industrial-grade machines are an investment that organizations typically rely on to perform their daily functions. When one of these machines stops performing optimally, several knock-on effects can ultimately harm the business.
Luckily, we can increasingly rely on technology to ensure equipment runs smoothly. Access to real-time alerts, automated maintenance checks, and remote monitoring systems gives companies peace of mind, knowing their valuable machinery is operating as it should. IoT, or the Internet of Things, allows us to receive granular data, track equipment performance, and perform preventative maintenance before minor issues become serious problems. But, as more companies rely on efficient and sustainable solutions, how does IoT help?
What Does IoT Look Like at Miura?
The Internet of Things is when objects are equipped with technology such as sensors, software, and processing abilities in order to be able to communicate with other devices. At Miura, our boilers are fitted with monitoring systems that track the equipment’s health and performance and alert boiler operators and technicians to any potential issues.
Miura Connect is a web-based portal that offers real-time remote views of all the equipment in a boiler room. Features of Miura Connect include:
- Integrated Technical Documentation: This means all the documentation you might need for the running of your boiler systems is quickly and easily accessible.
- Real-Time and Multiple Location Remote Views: If you have access to the internet, you can view your boiler room from anywhere in the world. Multiple location monitoring allows you to view several boiler rooms from one platform.
- Automated Data Reports and Tracking: Reports are quickly generated and include historical data and trend analysis. Dive into historic reports to determine what areas need attention or fixing.
- Alarm Notifications: Tailor the notifications to suit you and stay ahead of potential issues. Notifications are sent via email or text.
- Cybersecurity: Your data is protected and encrypted, so the information from your boiler room is safe from cyberattacks.
Miura consistently embraces innovation, and our commitment to optimizing our products helps our customers stay ahead in their fast-paced industries.
With continuous optimization as part of our philosophy, the second evolution of our monitoring systems, Miura Connect 2, will be released soon. Designed to help customers revolutionize their boiler’s performance and keep downtime at a record low, Miura Connect 2 offers personalized guidance, enhanced compatibilities, and more.

How Do These Features Impact Efficiencies and Sustainability?
Regular boiler maintenance check-ups performed manually are time-consuming and subject to human error. If a check-up is delayed or isn’t sufficiently thorough, issues can arise that affect the boiler’s efficiency and performance.
Miura boilers are low NOx, they require minimal fuel for optimum output, and they manage heat distribution efficiently. If there’s a problem with the system that goes undetected, however, these efficiencies can drop. A damaged boiler requires more fuel to function at the required level. This uses more resources, causes more CO2 emissions, and ultimately costs more while delivering less.
The consequences of undetected issues are costly and inefficient to business operations. Unexpected downtime can cause businesses to cease operations, losing income, and that’s before the added burden of fixing an expensive malfunction.
Receiving alerts when hardness is detected in the water (untreated, hard scale causes boiler breakdowns and loss of efficiency) or the rapid start-up process is notably slower than usual allows boiler room operators to react quickly and prevent further problems. Using historical data, technicians can discern what parts and tools are needed for a maintenance job, ensuring the fix is done rapidly and efficiently the first time.
Miura has integrated technology into its systems to make the steam production process more accessible, safer, and sustainable for customers. With a focus on detail and a proactive approach, we can help businesses guarantee that their boilers enjoy optimal efficiencies and keep Greenhouse Gas emissions down.
