Compressed air is one of the most expensive types of energy, which is why energy efficiency and energy transparency are playing an increasingly important role in factory automation. The investment costs, for example for procuring powerful compressors, are enormous. To save on follow-up costs, you must ensure loss-free operation of compressed air systems. The FTMg (Flow Thermal Meter for gases) thermal flow sensor stands for efficient energy management in accordance with DIN EN ISO 50001. It helps system operators to detect leaks in the compressed air system early on and plan maintenance work.
The FTMg offers an integrated data monitoring function and automatically saves the measurement data of the last seven days. This allows changes and fluctuations in energy consumption to be reliably detected. With its data transparency, the sensor provides efficient assistance in finding leaks in compressed air systems and helps minimize energy loss as well as save money.
For intelligent, automated monitoring and analysis of compressed air consumption, SICK has a complete digital solution with the combination of the FTMg sensor, the Monitoring Box FTMg digital service and the Telematic Data Collector (TDC) gateway.
