System Automation
Why System Control?
Common findings with
unmanaged systems:
More compressors are
running than required
The wrong combination of
compressors are running
Actual m/min demand

System pressure is much


higher than required

As much as 20%-60% of the energy used to operate


typical compressed air systemsis wasted!
