Elgi Equipments Limited, a renowned global air compressor manufacturer, has unveiled its latest innovation, The AirAlert system offers 24/7 remote monitoring and actionable insights to improve the energy efficiency, maintenance predictability, and uptime of compressed air systems.
Air~Alert operates as a data transmission and analysis service, constantly monitoring critical parameters of air compressors and delivering real-time insights and alerts to users. This invaluable data empowers customers to enhance uptime and optimize efficiency by making informed decisions about their air compressor performance. Moreover, it facilitates timely actions to prevent potential failures, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
The system provides continuous remote monitoring of air compressors, presenting users with trend graphs and vital operational information. This includes discharge pressure, oil temperature, variable frequency drive (VFD) speed (if applicable), total running hours, trips, and live alerts through an accessible online interface from anywhere globally.
Air~Alert also excels in scheduling maintenance and predicting common failures, ensuring timely servicing, and preventing unplanned downtime. Users receive monthly summary reports on the overall health and performance parameters of their compressors, along with insights on upcoming service needs and preventative maintenance recommendations based on data analysis.
To collect and process operational and performance data, Air~Alert interfaces with the compressor controller. The data is securely transmitted and stored in dedicated cloud servers. Smart algorithms then analyze this data, providing intelligent predictions, actionable alerts, comprehensive reports, and insightful trends, all accessible through user-friendly dashboards.
Air~Alert includes a failure prediction module that can forecast potential compressor failures, allowing users to proactively address issues before they escalate.
Air~Alert, ELGi empowers users to track utilization trends effectively, offering actionable intelligence to improve energy efficiency and make informed decisions. Users can optimize operating pressure bands based on utilization rates, consider replacing fixed-speed units with variable-speed VFD units, choose energy-efficient compressors for low utilization scenarios, and even detect leaks through unexpected utilization rate changes over time.
Air~Alert is adaptable, as it can be factory-fitted on new ELGi EG, AB, and OF Series compressors or retrofitted on units equipped with a Neuron III, III+, or IV controller. This flexibility ensures that a wide range of customers can benefit from the system’s intelligent monitoring and predictive maintenance capabilities.
In conclusion, ELGi’s Air~Alert is set to revolutionize the way compressed air systems are managed in India by offering advanced IoT-enabled monitoring and actionable insights, ultimately leading to enhanced energy efficiency, reduced downtime, and optimized maintenance practices for compressed air systems across various industries.
