How AI air compressor management boosts IIoT
With the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI), air compressor management can do more than improve the efficiency of your compressed air system. It can also enable and boost the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). This article explains the crucial role of AI compressor supervision tools like SMARTLINK in the development of IIoT.
Atlas Copco has been investing in IIoT for many years with our SMARTLINK system. This advanced online monitoring solution offers valuable information and insights on your compressed air system. With the latest technological advancements, SMARTLINK's AI-driven engine is the first to offer data-driven customer-specific prescriptive recommendations. In this article, we also discuss the role of AI in air compressor management systems. You'll learn how they can improve efficiency and cost savings.
AI air compressor management systems today
AI compressor management is an IIoT solution. It enhances the performance and effectiveness of compressed air systems. This occurs with real-time monitoring of compressed air equipment health and by using AI to analyze the data. This allows for the maximization of energy efficiency and uptime.
There are also other capabilities of AI compressor supervision. These include operational excellence-based technological solutions to improve performance quality and overall profitability. This AI service can be customized to meet the specific needs of your business.
How does AI enable compressor efficiency?
Compressor supervision systems continuously learn and come up with new solutions. Our investment in this advanced connectivity is a never ending journey. It's based on the ambition to connect all machines.
AI machine learning algorithms analyze the mass of data stored in the cloud. As an example, SMARTLINK continuously learns from over 250,000 machines. It is the first in the industry to run this big data through AI models in order to generate prescriptive recommendations for customers. As a result, it can provide information on how to optimize the performance of individual machines or compressor rooms. It can also send an alert when maintenance is needed to avoid expensive breakdowns.
How does AI compressor supervision work?
As pointed out above, AI air compressor management tools connect directly to your equipment. After equipment commissioning, the data gathering, comparing, and analysis starts. This allows for a smart assessment of the performance of your compressed air system.
In addition, warnings by email, text message, app, or website can be sent to help you avoid unplanned repair costs and downtime. The information obtained from the system can help spot developing problems, uncover potential energy savings, and achieve maximum uptime of compressors and production lines. With SMARTLINK, Atlas Copco field technicians get automatic notifications to ensure fast corrective actions.
What kind of data?
AI-driven monitoring helps users see developing problems in real-time. These tools may even come with a mobile application to allow for customizable control and push notifications. You might also receive tailored reports on the energy efficiency of your compressor room. This is certainly true for SMARTLINK, which refers to ISO 50001 to verify compliance.
Does AI help identify potential energy savings?
Yes, AI-driven tools like SMARTLINK are able to define situations when your equipment works inefficiently. You'll then receive recommendations for improvements. Such systems take into account ambient conditions and production usage. As a result, you'll receive tailored recommendations based on your situation.
