The importance of monitoring compressor performance
Close to 99% of the CO2 footprint of an air compressor is caused by the energy used in compressed air systems. This energy also accounts for 80% of the life cycle costs of your compressor and 10% of its total industrial electricity consumption. A compressor monitoring system allows you to save this energy by making sure that compressed air systems are operating as efficiently as possible.
Monitoring compressor performance using advanced data monitoring of equipment is one of the most effective strategies to improve compressed air system efficiency and avoid costly downtime. SMARTLINK, our compressed air data monitoring program, monitors air data 24/7, constantly compiling it in real time. This data can then be analyzed for key performance indicators to predict potential problems. This helps plant managers develop an ongoing plan to improve system usage and efficiency throughout the production cycle.
How the SMARTLINK air compressor monitoring system works
SMARTLINK is an air compressor monitoring system in accordance with ISO 50001 and offers users complete insight into their compressed air production. It helps you to anticipate and avoid potential problems by predicting them ahead of time. It also allows you to gain money by showing how and where the production can be optimized and energy can be saved. SMARTLINK is an easy to install, efficient to consult and simple to tailor data monitoring program. Data is gathered, compared and analyzed on the fly. When needed, warnings are sent out via E-mail, SMS and/or notifications on the smartphone notify app allowing you to take the necessary action to prevent any potential breakdowns making SMARTLINK an important compressor monitoring device. This also allows local service organizations to plan and prepare their interventions. As a result, service efficiency increases, precious time is gained and money is saved. Over the past years, more than 50,000 SMARTLINK compressor monitoring systems were installed in our customers’ compressed air systems worldwide.
After installation of SMARTLINK, we are able to monitor the compressor parameters remotely and can plan predictive maintenance. We also can monitor, record and analyze compressor parameters which help us in improving our plant’s maintenance plan. Our plant reliability has improved now and our customer is happy with us.
