Abstract: A computer-implemented method for determining one or more application-specific control parameters of a pump operating in a system for moving a fluid. The method includes monitoring one or more operational variables of the pump during operation of the pump in the system; applying a trained machine-learning model to automatically determine an application type from the monitored operational variables, the application type representing a type of system the pump operates in and/or representing a type of operation performed by the pump when operating in said system, each application type being associated with a respective set of one or more application-specific control parameters; controlling the pump based on the set of one or more application-specific control parameters associated with the determined application type.
