IO-Link real-time analytics for compressed air optimization

Controls architecture line drawing with IO-Link master, display and sensors

PLCs are great for machine control and some analysis and trending can be done at this level. But what if you could talk directly to your SCADA, MES, ERP, or CMMS systems without PLC intervention? IO-Link technology provides visualization of real-time data for compressed air systems.

Real-time analytics combined with accurate flow sensors

Air flow meters from ifm accurately measure detect leaks using multiple sensors in a single product.  Then, IO-Link technology allows you to visualize real-time data about your compressed air efficiency. Trends over time, consumption changes, process value changes, etc. can all indicate inefficiencies in your process. 

This process represents a new approach to energy optimization.

Typical visualization of trends and events

If you do not have an existing SCADA, ifm offers software solutions including the moneo IIoT software platform for a fast and easy way to collect real-time data and form a process to start detecting air leaks.
