Compressed Air Systems: Integral Management and Artificial Intelligence

The Industrial Sustainability Best Practices Conference, taking place June 17-18 in Castelldefels, Barcelona, Spain, announced the presentation “Compressed Air Systems: Integral Management and Artificial Intelligence,” led by Mario Baena Simón, Energy and Control Engineer, Ingersoll Rand.

Compressed air generation means the energy consumption for more than 40% of a plants. Optimizing and adjusting this consumption to maximize the use of the compressor room is the greatest challenge for manufacturers and users. Traditional the actions related with the installation of a variable speed, such as reducing pressure drop, adjusting working pressure, monitoring leaks, or installing basic control systems, are giving way to much more complex control systems that analyze the actual compressed air demand every time to adjust the air compressed production accordingly, achieving extraordinary performance from every cubic meter of compressed air generated.

The Conference will be led by 24 industrial experts with presentations covering the event’s main focus topics including energy/water conservation and food-safe system design and quality verification.

Mario Baena Simón, is an Industrial Engineer, head of the Energy and Control Department within the Ingersoll Rand group in the Iberia region, with more than 10 years of experience in the compressed air sector,  with a professional career closely linked to energy efficiency, data analysis, and optimization of compressor rooms to always achieve the best energy solution adapted to each user.

La Conferencia sobre Mejores Prácticas de Sostenibilidad Industrial, anunció la presentación «Desbloquear el futuro del aire comprimido: Soluciones basadas en datos», a cargo de Simon Gleissner, Director General de SUTO iTEC. Explora el papel fundamental de la medición precisa de datos en la optimización de los sistemas de aire comprimido. Gleissner hablará de cómo medir y controlar eficazmente parámetros clave, como la presión, el caudal y la calidad del aire, y de por qué recopilar estos datos es sólo el primer paso. El verdadero valor reside en el análisis de estos datos: sin una evaluación adecuada y una visión procesable, el proceso de supervisión resulta ineficaz. Los asistentes conocerán los puntos clave de los datos que hay que medir, las mejores prácticas de recopilación de datos y cómo aprovechar la información para mejorar la eficiencia del sistema y reducir los costes operativos. Esta presentación es imprescindible para cualquiera que desee ir más allá de la supervisión básica y optimizar realmente su sistema de aire comprimido. La Conferencia estará dirigida por 24 expertos industriales con presentaciones que abarcarán los principales temas de interés del evento, como la conservación de la energía y el agua y el diseño de sistemas seguros para los alimentos y la verificación de la calidad. Gleissner tiene una década de experiencia en tecnología de medición de aire comprimido y gases. Es Director de Producto para desarrollos de software internos, así como Director de Producto para Herramientas de Medición de la Calidad y Pureza del Aire. Gleissner también es responsable de las operaciones alemanas de SUTO iTEC, en calidad de Director General desde 2019.
