Aiming to centrally and efficiently monitor combinations of multiple control cabinets equipped with the AirSTREAM wiring system, this solution enables thermal monitoring through a single AirTEMP Controller unit. This central control not only improves monitoring efficiency but also minimizes installation and maintenance efforts.
A key element of the solution is cloud-based implementation, enabling external access for operators to plants in various production sites worldwide. Users can access relevant data at any time and from any location, and adjust operating parameters as needed. The user-friendly AirTEMP Monitor dashboard, allows real-time viewing of control cabinet temperature data, ensuring quick response to potential issues.
The solution is complemented by flexible reporting features: Weekly or monthly reports and analyses can be sent via email, providing detailed information on the condition of individual control cabinets. Another crucial aspect is the intelligent alarm system, which sends immediate notifications in case of malfunctions or over-temperature, allowing operators to proactively address critical conditions and prevent downtime.
Implementing this condition monitoring in the control cabinet sustainably enhances the efficiency, safety, and reliability of production processes, and optimally secures system availability.
Additionally, the AirTEMP condition monitoring solution incorporates demand-driven cooling: Active cooling solutions can be connected to the system to efficiently influence cycle performance, enabling energy savings and reducing CO2 emissions.
