Busch Pfeiffer puts your entire installed base of Busch and Pfeiffer vacuum systems in your pocket. Built for field-service technicians, maintenance teams, and facility managers, it brings together fleet oversight, asset lifecycle management, and real-time monitoring in one app—online or off. Busch Pfeiffer is the successor to the BUSCH Vacuum-App. It is fully compatible with your existing data, so you can pick up right where you left off—your installed base, registered assets, and history carry over seamlessly. **Manage Your Installed Base** See your whole fleet at a glance. Navigate your installed base by hierarchy and search instantly by serial number, model, or location. Status indicators show which systems need attention, GPS-based sorting surfaces the nearest equipment first, and complete asset details, specifications, and documents are always a tap away. **Register & Track Every Asset** Bring new equipment online fast: scan a nameplate with your camera to capture serial numbers automatically, register the asset, and log its full lifecycle—exchanges, maintenance, repairs, and removals—complete with photos and documents. Mark critical assets for offline access so essential information travels with you, even out of network range. **Monitor & Stay Alerted** Track live telemetry and overall health for every asset, and keep an eye on IoT connection and signal status from anywhere. Subscribe to the assets that matter and receive push notifications the moment an alert fires—set the minimum severity per node so you only hear about what counts. **Connect & Control** When you're on site, connect to your Busch and Pfeiffer pumps over Bluetooth or WiFi to read parameters and take direct control—start and stop pumps, switch Run/Auto modes, set target speed and pressure, manage ecomode, and import or export parameter configurations. (USB-serial connections are available on desktop.) **Built for Industry** Reliable support for Busch and Pfeiffer vacuum equipment using industrial RS485 protocols, designed for the demands of the factory floor and the field. Available in English, German, French, Chinese and Korean for international teams.
