Locate leaks, improve sustainability and competitiveness

Despite high energy costs for compressed air generation, hardly any company knows where compressed air is being lost unused through leaks or leaks - partly because checking the lines involves a great deal of manual effort and is therefore not carried out regularly. EnergyTransparency@SMC visualises the processes in pneumatics and shows the potential savings in a clear dashboard in the cloud.

The plug-and-use solution comprising compressed air sensors, io-key®, cloud service and reporting sends pressure and flow values from the machine every minute, enabling automated monitoring in real time. The one-off installation takes less than 10 minutes, after which all relevant consumption data from the respective measuring point is available. Unusual consumption patterns or changes over time can be clearly identified and then eliminated, and sustainable energy strategies can be developed on the basis of objective data.
