Remote Monitoring Solution for Air Compressors
Equipped with powerful edge computing capabilities, support for industrial protocols, and IoT cloud compatibility, the IG502 IoT edge gateway offers a reliable solution for remote monitoring of air compressors. Moreover, its sturdy industrial design ensures consistent performance in challenging environments.
Background
Air compressors, as large-scale mechanical equipment, often require extensive maintenance and troubleshooting over time. However, high power consumption and costly repairs increase the impact of failures, causing significant losses due to delayed fixes and prolonged downtime.
To tackle these challenges, a leading air compressor manufacturer focuses on improving product quality and user experience through innovative technologies. By leveraging network connectivity, they enable maintenance teams to remotely monitor air compressor operations, detect issues early, and address problems proactively. As a result, this approach reduces downtime, lowers maintenance costs, enhances customer service, and adds value to their solutions.
Customer Requirements
Real-time Monitoring and Remote Control
Enable real-time monitoring of key air compressor parameters, including temperature, pressure, and speed, using multiple industrial protocols. Additionally, provide remote control to adjust parameters and improve the production process efficiently.
Fault Diagnosis and Predictive Maintenance
Use an intelligent system to analyze collected data, diagnose potential faults, and send timely alerts. This helps prevent production delays and protects equipment from damage, ensuring smooth operations.
Data Analysis and Reports
Support advanced data analysis to process and visualize operating data. Generate detailed reports and charts to help clients track production efficiency, quality metrics, and equipment utilization, driving continuous improvement and better decision-making.
Solution
The system includes an air compressor, the IG502 IoT edge gateway, and a remote management platform. The IG502 connects to the air compressor controller to collect key data, such as oil temperature and lubricating fluid levels, in real time. It then transmits this data through the 4G network to the remote management platform, where it is analyzed and processed. Customers can easily view, track, and analyze data anytime on a computer or mobile device.
Additionally, maintenance teams can use the platform to establish maintenance channels with the on-site air compressor. By logging into the client software, they can perform remote monitoring and maintenance. With timely preventive maintenance, potential issues are identified and resolved early, reducing downtime and extending equipment lifespan.
