The smart, data-centered Industry 4.0 is transforming the way we envision manufacturing. Advanced technologies like Machine Learning, AI and IoT are being put to use in factories than facilitate manufacturers in decision-making, maintaining optimum efficiency and peak production levels. It also contributes to the effort of making factories more sustainable by reducing their carbon footprint. Today, this transformation is also shaping the air compressor industry. VEMC is the leading ELGi dealer in Mumbai and in this blog, we take you through the future of air compressor technology.
ELGi’s vision for the future
ELGi envisions a disruptive future when it comes to air compressor technology. This vision includes the use of cutting edge Information Technology and is aligned with the demands of the environment.
- Sustainable compressors:
ELGi is committed to the goal of business sustainability and offers highly efficient air compressors which reduce energy bills, have lower lifecycle costs and minimize your carbon footprint. By ensuring best-in-class durability, these compressors also enjoy a long life which keeps in check the capex costs of replacement as well as wastage of material, thus aligning strongly with the idea of circular economy.
- Connectivity:
Air compressors no longer operate in siloes. ELGi’s air compressors are always connected to the user’s smartphone device and offer real-time performance and efficiency related data.
- Innovation:
ELGi is a company strongly committed to innovation. The company’s R&D is always on the lookout for new technology and next-gen solutions that can be integrated into their air compressors. However, often innovation comes in the form of incremental improvements which make a huge difference when it comes to energy savings, reducing costs of ownership and the impact on the environment.
Air compressors and Industry 4.0
Lets come back to the idea of Industry 4.0 and the way it has shaped the air compressor industry. A huge part of Industry 4.0 is the ability to connect devices through the latest IoT technology. This means having sensors installed in the devices and making them a part of an ever enlarging network of devices. Each device continuously transmits a stream of data which is captured, recorded and displayed to decision-makers. In times of emergency, special alerts may also be launched through push notifications, email and SMS.
The availability of real-time data enables users to think on their feet and make quick decisions with regard to servicing and having a scheduled maintenance regime in place. It also keeps highlighting issues with performance and energy efficiency which drives greater sustainability. With predictive maintenance, users can foresee any potential breakdown of their devices, and take steps to prevent it, thus reducing possibilities of unplanned downtime and the related business losses.
All of these features are now available in your ELGi air compressors which are strongly inspired by Industry 4.0.
