Remote Monitoring Solution for Air Compressors
Featuring powerful edge computing capabilities, support for multiple industrial protocols and IoT clouds, and industrial design, the IG502 delivers a reliable remote monitoring solution for air compressors.
Background
Air compressors, as large-scale mechanical equipment, generate substantial maintenance and troubleshooting needs over prolonged use. High power consumption and maintenance costs amplify the impact of failures, potentially leading to significant losses due to delayed repairs and extended downtime.
A prominent air compressor manufacturer is dedicated to enhancing product quality and user experience through innovative technologies. Recognizing the benefits of network connectivity, they enable maintenance personnel to remotely monitor compressor operations, detect anomalies promptly, and proactively address issues. This strategy minimizes downtime, enriches customer service, and enhances overall value.
Customer Requirements
Real-time Monitoring and Remote Control
Enable real-time acquisition of key air compressor parameters, such as temperature, pressure, and speed, through different protocols. Allow remote control to adjust parameters and optimize the production process.
Fault Diagnosis and Predictive Maintenance
An intelligent system analyzes collected data to diagnose potential faults, issuing timely alerts to prevent production interruptions and equipment damage.
Data Analysis and Reports
An advanced data analysis platform processes, analyzes, and visualizes operating data. It supports report and chart generation, enabling clients to monitor production efficiency, quality metrics, equipment utilization, and drive continuous improvement.
Solution
The system consists of an air compressor, the InGateway502 (IG502), and a remote management platform. The IG502 connects to the air compressor controller to collect key field data such as oil temperature and lubricating fluid in real time. It transmits this data to the remote management platform for analysis and processing through the 4G network. Customers can view, count, and analyze data at any time via computer or mobile phone.
Maintenance teams establish maintenance channels through the software with the on-site air compressor. After logging into the client software, they can perform remote maintenance and online monitoring. Timely preventive maintenance helps discover and resolve issues before failures occur, reducing downtime and maximizing equipment service life.
