As large general-purpose mechanical equipment, air compressors will inevitably generate a large amount of after-sales maintenance and fault handling requirements during long-term use, and the power consumption and maintenance costs are relatively high. When a fault cannot be timely fixed, long downtime will bring huge losses to customers.

Background
 
As large general-purpose mechanical equipment, air compressors will inevitably generate a large amount of after-sales maintenance and fault handling requirements during long-term use, and the power consumption and maintenance costs are relatively high. When a fault cannot be timely fixed, long downtime will bring huge losses to customers.   
 
In order to ensure the normal operation and preventive maintenance of the air compressor, King Pigeon provides a (cloud + end) air compressor remote monitoring system solution. The solution uses King Pigeon’s industrial smart gateway S281 on field end, which has high performance, high reliability, comprehensive security and wireless services, to provide high-speed path for device informationization in the true sense. King Pigeon Device Networks Cloud is used as the IoT cloud, with low-cost, high-efficiency background data storage technology, flexible functionality, scalable and upgradable architecture, enables centralized access management of front-end connected devices. The solution helps to rapidly achieve intelligent monitoring, operation and maintenance management, enable more economic and efficient management of air compressors, reducing energy consumption and improving business efficiency.

Solution


                                                         Air Compressor Central Air Conditioner Remote Monitoring IoT Solution
The system consists device layer (collecting controller data via edge computing gateway) and cloud platform layer (device cloud).  The edge computing gateway S281 collects field controller and sensor data, intelligently upload the data with local cache mechanism, ensuring data reliability and real-time while reducing network costs. With Internet access, the compressor’s on-site operation data: pressure, temperature, load time, alarm status of components, etc. are transmitted to King Pigeon cloud platform in real time through encrypted transmission, authorized users can monitor the real-time air compressor operating status, alarm and fault information through Web or mobile phone app anywhere anytime; or preform remote monitoring, management, debugging, preventive maintenance, etc. through the PC client, reducing and optimizing fault processing time and communication costs and upgrading service level.



Advantages
 
● Use King Pigeon's “cloud”+“end” solution, to greatly shorten debugging cycle and reduce front-end deployment work
