Maintenance engineers around the world are changing to Gates Poly Chain
GT belts. In comparison with other belts, Poly Chain GET drives weigh up
to 35% less, use sprockets that are up to 67% narrower and have up to
4 times more power. Gates Poly Chain GT belts last longer, require no
lubrication and are practically maintenance-free for reduced overall costs.

levels of involvement by external
service providers. The end user can
therefore still choose to perform all
of the maintenance, evaluation and
servicing of the system themselves
(the SAM 4.0 will send the end
user notifications when service
is required). Or, the end user can
choose a predictive maintenance
service model with remote
diagnostics.
Here, the physical meets the virtual
world within the framework of a
structural model such as Sigma
Smart Air from Kaeser, in which
the specific compressed air
system - configured according to
the operator's requirements - is
represented virtually by a digital
twin. Operating data from the
compressed air station is securely
transmitted to the Kaeser data
centre, where it is analysed in realtime.
Such real-time availability of
operating data makes it possible
to monitor the 'health' status of a
compressed air station. This means
that maintenance is carried out
precisely as needed and potential
faults can be detected in advance
and appropriate maintenance
measures automatically initiated at
the right time. Ultimately, the end
user benefits from significantly
reduced compressed air production
and operating costs, as well
as improved compressed air
availability.
The combination of remote
diagnostics and demand-oriented
predictive maintenance ensures
maximum compressed air supply
availability and complete system
effectiveness; preventing unplanned
downtime, increasing energy
efficiency, reducing service costs by
up to 30% and delivering demand
optimised compressed air system
control throughout the system’s
entire life cycle.
REMOTE AND REAL-TIME
MONITORING
Probably one of the greatest
advantages of such advanced
compressed air technology in the
current Coronavirus situation -
where facilities now have many staff
working remotely, where the number
of people in a facility has been
reduced, and where many facilities
are now limiting access to suppliers
- is the ability to remotely monitor a
compressed air system in real-time.
From a PC, laptop, tablet or
smartphone - the SAM 4.0’s
integrated web server provides a
visual display of all compressed air
system data in the form of HTML
pages. All operational and energy
consumption data, as well as cost
information, can therefore be called
up on any network-compatible
device anytime, anywhere. In
addition, the end user can choose
to configure the system so they
receive alarm and maintenance
messages for individual
components as well as timely
warnings or service requirement
notifications via email or text
message.
And, where the end user integrates
an advanced compressed air
management system with a service
model such as Kaeser Sigma Smart
Air, they have the added peace of
mind that a team of compressed air
experts are also monitoring the realtime
data from their compressed air
system and acting accordingly.
AT THE END OF THE DAY…
At the best of times a fully
networked compressed air system
offers the end user numerous
benefits. However, many of these
benefits, from remote monitoring
and diagnostics, to achieving the
lowest possible compressed air
production costs through intelligent,
energy-saving switching strategies
- are even more advantageous
in the current climate. After all
as the fourth utility to industry,
many businesses rely on their
compressed air system and will now
more than ever demand maximum
compressed air supply reliability.
