This guide helps you select the right compressor for your business.
Many people use the word “connectivity” without really understanding it or its full potential. In this e-book, we examine what it means – especially with regard to compressed air equipment – and, most importantly, how you can make new connectivity features work for you.
In the broadest terms, a connected compressor is one that does more work for you while you have to do less. Does that sound utopian? It is not.
The latest technology already
- Ensures equipment uptime with automated alerts- Allows you to control and manage your air system with features like weekly timers, pressure band control and leakage detection- Offers a connected production with wired and wireless solutions that put you on the path toward greater automation
Together, this technology makes your job easier, gives you peace of mind, increases efficiency while reducing operating costs and lets you take steps toward a truly smart production.
Let’s take a look at which technologies are already available and how you can benefit from them.
The latest monitoring solutions already allow you to track the performance of your compressor from anywhere.
In addition, sophisticated sensors collect a lot of data that can be used in various ways. For example, if the system detects an emerging issue, it will either react with the appropriate action on its own, or you can be alerted right away so that you can address it before it becomes an expensive problem.
All of the collected data can not only be used to visualize your compressor’s performance but also allows the system to make recommendations on how it can run more efficiently.
And the most cutting-edge compressor on the market offers even more, such as the ability to securely “talk” to other machines or receive over-the-air updates.
Taken together, all of these features make your compressed air system much more efficient and reliable. And most compressor owners are barely scratching the surface of how much they can benefit from these technologies.
In the not-so-distant future, these connected compressors will play a central role in smart factories. At that time, most businesses that stick with outdated technologies are going to struggle – like companies that stuck with horses and buggies while their competitors switched to trucks. In that sense, we are in the midst of new digital industrial revolution.
This e-book will not only help you understand the current technologies that are out there and how you can benefit from them, but also how you can partner with Atlas Copco to ensure that you are at the forefront of this “smart revolution” instead of getting left behind.
And, at the end of it, you will have everything you need to implement an automated smart factory in which all of your machines can communicate with each other and you have the option of controlling your entire production from a laptop or a phone in your air-conditioned office instead of running from machine to machine.
