Sensor Enables Engineers to Monitor Air Consumption in Pneumatic Systems

August 5, 2021

The components in the pneumatic systems of production lines are subject to wear that can lead to leakage. When leaks go undetected, they can affect machine performance, increase energy use, raise operating costs and expand carbon footprints. Integrating a smart pneumatics package can prevent these rising costs and emissions. One critical part of this package is a smart sensor. The Emerson AVENTICS Series AF2 Flow Sensor helps engineers identify leaks in real time and address them quickly, which optimizes airflow, reduces costs and improves overall equipment effectiveness.

How Smart Technologies are Supercharging Continuous Improvement Programs

Lean Six Sigma has been driving continuous improvement efforts for decades, but its shortcomings have become apparent. Data gathering is labor-intensive and only able to capture small sample sizes. Now it is possible to capture data over extended periods and multiple locations at a fraction of the cost of old manual methods.
