Perinet Use Case Compressed air monitoring in production (Zentinel MDS)

The challenge

A manufacturer needed a solution to analyse the use of compressed air in its production facility and identify inefficient systems. The aim was to reduce energy costs and detect leaks without having to rely on complex OT systems (e.g. SCADA).

Realisation

  • ZentNode AL adapters collect data from pressure and flow sensors along the compressed air lines and send it to the ZentEdge server via a Single Pair Ethernet infrastructure.
  • The data is stored in a local SQL database and displayed in a web-based dashboard that enables both real-time and historical analyses.

Added value

  • Savings potential: Analyses identifies leaks and inefficient use, which significantly reduces energy costs.
  • Openness: The data can be queried using any SQL-compatible software, which facilitates access for different IT tools.
  • Scalability: The system can be expanded with additional sensors without interrupting existing processes.
  • Security: TLS-encrypted communication ensures the protection of sensitive data.

Additional application options

  • Automotive industry: Monitoring of compressed air systems used in painting lines or assembly processes.
  • Power generation: Control of the compressed air supply in turbines or generators.
  • Food industry: Monitoring of process pressure during pasteurisation or homogenisation.
  • Breweries: Compressed air monitoring for processes such as filtration or bottling.
  • Chemical processes: Pressure monitoring in reactors or distillation columns.
  • Pharmaceutical industry: Control of pressure conditions in the production of medicines or vaccines.
