Keeping the Pressure On with IoT Monitoring Solutions

Introduction
 

Air compressors are a vital tool across many industries, from automotive maintenance to providing positive pressure for clean rooms in electronics manufacturing. In many applications, air compressors are required to run continuously throughout a work day, requiring constant monitoring to ensure the pumps are operating efficiently, and catch maintenance issues before they happen. Recently, an air compressor manufacturer decided to upgrade their IoT system. However, upgrading their system involved overcoming several key challenges.

• Industrial Design  built to operate in a wide range of rugged environments
• Reliable Operation  to ensure constant, accurate monitoring
• Cellular Communication to connect with the central service no matter where the compressor is deployed.

Solution
 

AAEON worked closely with the manufacturer, identifying key pain points and concluding the SRG-3352 to be the best solution. AAEON and the SRG-3352 offered several key benefits for this application:

• Cloud Compatible to quickly setup and connect with any IoT cloud service
• RISC Based Computing  with fast boot times and energy efficient operation
• AAEON Service works closely with customers to meet their needs and ensure long lasting service

Impact
 

Thanks to the SRG-3352, the manufacturer was able to upgrade their monitoring system with an effective solution the provided both lower cost per unit and lower lifetime operation cost as well. With AAEON’s industry leading service and support, they could roll out their upgrade project quickly and provide their clients with time and cost savings benefits, reducing on-site maintenance requirements with more accurate scheduling and detect faults before they happen.
