Kaeser Measurement Technology Enhances Compressed Air System Management
Kaeser Compressors introduces its Kaeser Measurement Technology, designed to improve compressed air system performance and reduce energy consumption.
Kaeser Compressors’ Kaeser Measurement Technology (KMT) is a comprehensive suite of intelligent sensors designed to deliver real-time insights and optimize compressed air system performance.
KMT devices can leverage power over ethernet (PoE) for simplified installation and reduced cabling costs. Integration with the Kaeser Sigma Network (SNW) can ensure Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) capabilities.
- Versatility: KMT devices can be applied across various applications, including high-pressure booster systems. This can eliminate the need for multiple vendors and simplify system management.
- Real-time data streaming: The Energy Analyzer and Flow Analyzers are said to have the ability to stream a multitude of data points in real-time, providing insights into system operation.
- Actionable insights: Specific data points can trigger automated actions within the compressed air station. For instance, with an additional logic controller and wiring the Ambient Analyzer can monitor room temperature and automatically adjust inlet or exhaust dampers to maintain optimal operating conditions.
- Optimal monitoring and control: KMT data can be integrated with the Kaeser Sigma Air Manager 4.0 (SAM 4.0) for comprehensive system monitoring and control. Alternatively, Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU connectivity enables integration with a customer’s existing industrial and building automation system.
“In today’s data-driven manufacturing landscape, effective compressed air system monitoring is critical for maximizing efficiency and minimizing costs,” says Timothy Hitzges, system integrator at Kaeser Compressors. “While traditional compressed air monitoring solutions often offer limited data points via a single 4-20mA output, KMT delivers a wealth of data points that paint a complete picture of compressed air system health. By feeding this data into the SAM 4.0, customers gain valuable key performance indicators that empower them to make informed decisions about their compressed air operations.”
