In a world that is hyper advancing, industrial products need to provide more than just productivity. They need to be intelligent –  vacuum pumps are no different. This is something Atlas Copco Vacuum places a lot of focus on; we’re constantly developing newer, more intelligent solutions that integrate and perform in the ever-expanding Industry 4.0. 

Enhanced connectivity and control for your vacuum pumps is one way we enable customers to take their operations to the next level. From all of the different controllers and accessories we created in the past, our new HEX@™ vacuum controller truly takes the concept of connectivity several steps further with its intelligence and capabilities. 

Imagine controlling your vacuum pump settings with a just few taps, imagine being able to measure, manage and monitor your entire system accurately and securely on different devices. Imagine having all your controls right in your back pocket – to check up on whenever you need, no matter where you are. 

Well, imagination is where innovation begins. Here’s how HEX@™ makes all of that possible.

You can install it easily

This is a truly plug and play design. It can be set up with a simple connection via ethernet cable. No special software, complicated wiring or installation are required. Simply plug in, turn it on and you’re all set to go.

You’re in control

Receive the information as per your requirements by configuring your interface, that way you can filter through information and monitor only what you need to. The system also allows you to adjust your vacuum system to specific requirements and save pump configurations to one of four-mode slots.

You can schedule operations

The controller allows you to seamlessly schedule actions such as purge cycles, auto clean, set-point adjustments to repeat continually based on your timetable and/or process demand.

You get instant insights

HEX@™ also helps you optimize the energy efficiency or extend the maintenance intervals by helping you monitor these parameters for maximum production time.

You can enjoy complete security

HEX@™ fully supports the latest and most common protocols found in industrial markets allowing integration with your preferred system. Additionally, all data communication involving HEX@™ enabled products to and from the cloud use multi-layer encryption and private key protocols.

You access it anywhere

PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone – you can access HEX@™ through your device of choice. The secure, web-based user interface connects directly to your pump or fleet of vacuum pumps. Our high-level security protocols enable remote access by selected, authorised personnel only. 

HEX@GRID - Many pumps, one controller

 

 

In a centralized vacuum setup with multiple pumps working together, efficient control, while essential, can be tricky. But not impossible. 

 

HEX@GRID works like the brain of your central vacuum system. Equipped with the latest HEX@™ controller, HEX@GRID connects and controls up to multiple vacuum pumps as a single system. Unlike traditional intelligent multi-pump controllers, using combinations of different pumps each potentially running at different pumping speeds to achieve total pumping performance, HEX@GRID’s optimizer analyses the actual power consumed by each individual vacuum pump at every operating point to find the best combination of pumping speeds to meet your demand.

Multi-pump controller for industry 4.0

And it doesn’t end there, the possibilities are endless with HEX@GRID. They’re just waiting to be explored.
