Compressed air leak cost analysis

Requirement
Compressed air is one of the most expensive types of energy. It is therefore important to make economical use of this resource and to be able to allocate the compressed air consumption to the respective production units.

Implementation
To measure the consumption in different sections of a plant, several compressed air meters "efector metris" were used. These sensors precisely detect the compressed air consumption and even detect very small leaks.

Customer benefits
In addition to the current consumption, quantities per day and total quantities can also be allocated to the different production units. Furthermore, leaks are detected and can be repaired. This reduces energy costs.
