It all starts with keeping an eye on your compressed air system, which you can now do at all times. Here, you can choose between two different ways of monitoring what is happening in your compressor room.
Remote monitoring
With a cloud-based system like Atlas Copco’s SMARTLINK, you always know what is going on back in your production facility. Whether you are working from home, are on the road or even thousands of miles away, all you need is an Internet connection and a phone, tablet or laptop to see how your compressor is doing.The right remote monitoring system will not only offer you the information you need when and where you need it but will also give you valuable recommendations on how you can get the most out of your system.
For more on SMARTLINK, how it can make things easier for you and save you money, just read on.
Remote monitoring – turning a nightmare into a fixable situation
Imagine this scenario: You are responsible for your compressed air system but are visiting a customer in another country. Back in your compressor room, the temperature of your compressor suddenly keeps rising.Without remote monitoring, it might take a long time before anybody notices the problem. Once somebody does, they have to get in touch with you, and, with very little information, you have to decide what to do: Shut down the compressor or attempt to fix it with an uncertain outcome.With SMARTLINK, it’s an entirely different story. Here, you get a real-time notification sent to your phone that informs you that the compressor temperature is going up. In addition, SMARTLINK doesn't just alert you to the issue. It offers an analysis of the problem and what you can do to fix it.
This allows you to get in touch with your team and tell them what to do.Even better, with the right service plan, at the same time as you get the notification, so does one of the Atlas Copco specialists who is on call around the clock. An Atlas Copco technician can be dispatched right away, so you don’t have to address the problem yourself.
On-site monitoring and control system
If you don’t prefer cloud-based connectivity, Atlas Copco offers a number of local network solutions, including SMARTVIEW and SMART2SCADA.Central controllers can be optionally equipped with SMARTVIEW. This allows the collected data to be sent via a local area network.
Thanks to its advanced technical visualization of data, SMARTVIEW can greatly enhance the efficiency of your air system. It offers the same monitoring options as SMARTLINK and also sends alerts to notify you of potential issues. This allows you to optimize the performance of your compressor at any time. And, in the very near future, you will be able to export the data and create a report.The SMART2SCADA software allows you to share your compressor information with your SCADA system via different protocols.
