ATLAS Copco has upgraded of its SmartLink remote monitoring system with the release of SmartLink 2.0 as well as the development of the new SmartLink mobile App, allowing customers to optimise their compressed air installation’s operational performance by having complete, easily actionable IoT-driven insights at their fingertips.
The proven SmartLink all-in connectivity platform is a web portal that tracks all the vital signs of Atlas Copco air compressors, self-diagnoses the machines and uploads the data automatically to servers in the cloud. Add to this the new SmartLink App and users now have everything they need to keep a close eye on their compressed air equipment with all the relevant information available to them on smart mobile devices anywhere and at any time.
Max Larue, Business Line Manager at Compressor Technique Service Division, explains the difference between the SmartLink portal and the SmartLink App. “The web portal essentially provides access to all features and benefits, whereas the App is focused on getting key information right into end-users’ hands.”
“SmartLink 2.0 provides customised reports that uncover potential energy savings as well as potential problems and makes recommendations. The program prompts timeous action, reducing the risk of catastrophic failures, improving the overall health of the compressed air system and ultimately, increasing machine and plant uptime,” adds that Larue recommendations on how to improve compressor efficiency can assist air users in realising potential savings of up to 30%.
Larue confirms that any Atlas Copco machine can be added by serial number through the SmartLink App. He also explains that machines don’t have to be connected to access all available information. He does recommend however that in order to get the most out of SmartLink, the air compressors should be connected to the SmartLink cloud. Larue adds that downloading and using the App is easy and customer-friendly. “Registration to use the SmartLink App is free and time to set up the dashboard is the only investment a customer will need to make.”
“The combination of our fully integrated, cutting-edge SmartLink portal and mobile App conveniently provides air users with invaluable insights into their compressed air system’s performance from actionable dashboards. These smart value-added services assist our customers in maximising the performance of their air compressors, subsequently boosting productivity and production, and achieving lowest total cost of compressed air system ownership for ultimate business sustainability,” concludes Larue
