ELGi Air~Alert compressor monitoring solution

ELGi Equipments has announced Air~Alert, an IoT-based air compressor monitoring system.

Air~Alert is a data transmission and analysis service that monitors critical parameters and sends out insights and alerts to users. The system is designed so that users can improve uptime and maximise efficiency with smart monitoring and data related to air compressor performance. The service also enables them to act in time to avoid potential failures. It delivers trend graphs and information about operating parameters, including discharge pressure, oil temperature, variable frequency drive (VFD) speed (where fitted), total running hours, trips and alerts on a live online interface accessible remotely.

Air~Alert also notifies users and ELGi dealers about scheduled maintenance and fault occurrences while predicting commonly occurring failures. Monthly summary reports on overall health and operating parameters, including upcoming service requirements and preventive maintenance based on the data obtained, are sent to the user.

The operational and performance data from the compressors are acquired by Air~Alert from the compressor controller, transmitted in an encrypted form and sent to secure and dedicated Air~Alert servers in the cloud. Algorithms then work on the data to enable intelligent prediction with alerts, reports and trends — which are returned securely to the operators as easy-to-read dashboards.
