Monitor compressed air pressure and flow, water usage and oil level in real time. Find leaks and waste before they hit your bill.

Continuous tracking of compressed air pressure, flow meters, water consumption, and reservoir fluid levels.

The Problem

Utilities are invisible costs. Compressed air leaks, pressure drops, water wastage and low oil levels waste money and hurt quality, but nobody notices until a machine misbehaves or a bill arrives.

The Sensor

A set of sensors for pressure, flow and level. Pressure transmitters and flow meters on the air line, water meters on supply and process lines, and level sensors on oil tanks or sumps. All connect to the gateway.

The Dashboard Result

  • Live pressure and flow trends
  • Alerts on pressure drops, unusual night-time flow (a sign of leaks) and low levels
  • Consumption per day, line and shift
  • Cost of utilities per unit produced

How It Improves Performance

  • Lower utility cost: leaks and waste are found and fixed.
  • Stable quality: consistent air pressure and coolant levels protect the process.
  • Fewer stoppages: tanks are topped up before they run out.
  • Clear targets: utility usage can be benchmarked and reduced.

Best For

Plants with heavy compressed air, water or oil use: textiles, dyeing, forging, plating, plastics and machining.
