Facility managers for industrial properties are faced with the challenge of optimizing the energy efficiency of their facilities in the face of ever-increasing energy demand and rising energy costs. Digital processes that enable the comprehensive monitoring, analysis and control of energy demand offer an effective way to reduce costs, increase energy efficiency and make optimal use of resources. Based on IoT technologies and open-source software, a cost-effective, wireless and flexible retrofit solution for real-time energy data collection has been developed.

The Dilemma of Compressed Air and Leaks

The Dilemma of Compressed Air and Leaks

Lisa Dawel, Alexandra Pehlken
Due to the sharp rise in energy prices, compressed air, or compressor performance and its power consumption, are once again in the foreground as part of energy management. Due to the fact, that compressed air often escapes via leaks and these are difficult to localize or measure, a niche topic is becoming very noteworthy again. Automated leak detection can determine the need for repairs and help increase energy efficiency. It is important that not only leaks are detected, but that the extent of the leaks can also be quantified. A cost-effective method of detecting leaks is energy monitoring of the air compressor. Continuous monitoring and evaluation of the energy data means that you can react quickly.
