Compressed Air Management from HPC
The Control Centre for your Compressed Air Supply and Key Technology for Industry 4.0
The SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0 (SAM 4.0) - Master Controller (central intelligence) and SIGMA CONTROL 2 (SC2 & SC2IO) - Compressor Controllers (local intelligence) ensure efficient interplay between all components in your compressed air system. This is where the biggest energy savings in a system can be achieved. The capabilities of an intelligent computer are needed to perform such a complex task, including:
- Ongoing reduction of energy consumption throughout the entire life cycle of the system (simulation-based calculation of the most efficient operation scenario)
- Control of individual components within a compressed air station
- Compressed air and compressed air cost management
- Communication between a wide range of system components
The SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0 (SAM 4.0) represents the next generation of compressed air management master system and utilises adaptive 3-Dadvanced Control to make air generation and treatment even more intelligent, reliable and efficient.
The SIGMA CONTROL 2 (SC2 & SC2IO) unit coordinates compressed air generation and consumption. With its intelligent control, this advanced system prevents inefficient energy usage, especially in partial load operation and provide key technology for Industry 4.0.
At a glance
"The variable speed compressor has allowed us to save energy by closely matching the supply and demand of compressed air whilst maintaining an accurate and constant supply pressure. The SAM 4.0 controls the installation perfectly, switching the compressors in and out to meet the sometimes large variations in demand."
