Frequently Asked Questions About Offsite Monitoring
What specific data points does Offsite Monitoring track?
Offsite Monitoring tracks crucial operational data points, including energy consumption (kW), compressor running hours (utilization), air pressure levels, temperature readings, and active machine status (on/off, loaded/unloaded).
How does remote monitoring prevent compressor breakdowns?
Remote monitoring prevents breakdowns by enabling Predictive Maintenance. The system sends real-time alerts (via email or SMS) when performance indicators drift outside optimal ranges, allowing technicians to diagnose and correct potential issues before they lead to an unexpected failure or costly stoppage.
What is the typical Return on Investment (ROI) for implementing Offsite Monitoring?
The typical ROI for implementing Offsite Monitoring is realized through significant reductions in unplanned downtime, decreased energy waste, and the optimization of service schedules. By minimizing expensive emergency callouts and maximizing efficiency, the system often pays for itself within 12 to 24 months.
Is the Atlas Copco Smartlink system difficult to install?
No. The Atlas Copco Smartlink module is designed for quick and non-intrusive installation. It securely connects to the compressor’s controller and transmits data wirelessly, requiring minimal disruption to your daily operations.
Does Offsite Monitoring help reduce energy bills?
Yes. Offsite Monitoring uses the Smartlink Energy feature to analyze the compressor’s specific power consumption. This real-time data identifies inefficient running patterns, air leaks, and control issues, leading to actionable recommendations that can result in significant energy cost reductions.
