IoT – What is it and What Does it Mean for Air Compressors?

The production and distribution of compressed air is a complex process. Air input and air demand depend on various factors including ambient air temperature and humidity, dust and pollen, voltage, pressure, flow, and dew points. To obtain optimal efficiency, many of these parameters must be constantly measured and/or monitored, which is where IoT technology can help improve and support the compressed air production process.
