Sensors For Industrial Compressed Air Systems

For many years, the maintenance of industrial equipment has been time-based or, in some cases, simply to allow equipment to run until failure.

More recently, with the advent of increasingly sophisticated monitoring and data gathering technologies, we’ve seen a gradual shift from reactive to predictive, or condition-based, maintenance programmes.

This change has been – and continues to be – driven by the need for industry to become ever more efficient. This is especially true when margins are under pressure. It has also been driven by the introduction of increasingly tough safety legislation and, most recently, by concerns about climate change and energy saving.

Although predictive maintenance technologies were first used with high value or critical production systems, they are now being applied as standard to a growing number of lower-level devices, ranging from pumps, fans and motors to compressors and dryers.

According to a recent report by Research And Markets, the global market for predictive maintenance products (hardware and software) is forecast to grow by a CAGR of 31% until at least 2030. Clearly, there is still a long way to go before the practice has been adopted throughout industry.
