SmartLink 2.0 remote monitoring system is a perfect example of Atlas Copco’s commitment to assisting customers in achieving optimum machine performance by developing ever-more advanced technologies and innovative products. “Knowing the status of your compressed air equipment at all times and being able to timeously react on it is the surest way to achieve optimal air efficiency and maximum availability,” asserts Max Larue, Business Line Manager at Compressor Technique Service Division. “For any factory to be ‘smart’ it requires data. But data alone is not enough. Data must be analysed so that meaningful feedback can be generated and results extracted, enabling operators to take the necessary actions. By connecting all compressed air equipment throughout the factory, the performance of the entire installation is optimised.
