With the advent of Industry 4.0, the monitoring of industrial filtration systems has become an extremely important aspect for those companies that are preparing or have already implemented processes aimed at industrial automation associated with new technologies. This orientation in fact makes it possible to optimize and increase production, but also to limit any waste and improve working conditions overall.
Owners of industrial filtration systems, if they want to update themselves with this new way of working, will therefore necessarily have to provide themselves with appropriate monitoring systems, able to keep under control all the parameters that are useful for the operation and identification of the state of health, as well as any malfunctions of the equipment.
The 4 strengths of a 4.0 monitoring system
Not only the transition to Industry 4.0, but the use of industrial filtration systems will provide four major advantages to companies that choose to install special systems for monitoring their installations. Which ones? These are explained below!
- Saving costs, the use of a remote monitoring system will allow the state of the equipment to be kept under control at all times, even those elements that are exposed to wear and maintenance. In this way, action will be taken not at standard intervals, but at the real moment of need. In addition, if problems arise, they will be identified in good time, avoiding premature wear thanks to timely intervention. As far as timing is concerned, remote monitoring of the filtration systems will allow technicians to check for anomalies remotely, giving instructions to staff on how to resolve them, avoiding unnecessary technical inspections that would lead to excessive downtime.
- Prevention: by keeping the filtration system under constant control, it is possible to promptly notice anomalies that could be dangerous, such as overheating during operation or a drop in pressure. But that's not all, you can check the condition of the filters, identifying when they need cleaning because they are worn and not adequately able to filter the air from pollutants harmful to humans.
- Sustainability, being able to intervene remotely, but also having the possibility to always keep under control the performance of the filtration systems, the monitoring systems actually increase the sustainability of the company by reducing economic waste, but also in terms of environmental and human health.
- Increased productivity, thanks to the monitoring system it will be possible to keep the equipment running optimally, reducing downtime and limiting the risk of breakdowns. As a result, plant downtime will be greatly reduced, increasing productivity and profits for businesses.
what's the future? Remote monitoring of industrial filtration systems, no doubt about it!
