Unleashing the potential of Industry 4.0

 iConn

That’s why Gardner Denver has launched its iConn air management platform. iConn is a cloud-based, air management platform developed to deliver advanced analytics. The system provides historic, real-time, predictive and cognitive analytics, allowing users to rectify potential issues before they happen.

It may not instantly save users money or automatically improve their operational efficiencies. These things take time. But iConn can help provide tangible benefits to a business’ bottom line, with real-time monitoring, alarms and warnings to reduce the risk of downtime. The browser-based system means remote sites can be easily monitored, and compressor performance can be optimised with machine parameters and trend analysis over time.

Since countless sites across the UK use compressed air as part of their everyday purposes, and most customers will have purchased machines from lots of different brands over the years, iConn is an open and not a proprietary system.

This is because, in order for compressed air users to take the opportunities presented by the IoT in terms of lowering expenditure, improving usage and identifying issues quickly, it is vital that trust around data is established. Replacing proprietary systems with open ones is part of this. Only when trust is achieved can the full potential of the IoT and data analytics be realised.
