SmartAir and Energy Oy (SmartAir) focuses on saving energy and costs for industries that use compressed air, supporting them in achieving green transformation.

Our expertise covers every aspect from system size measurement services to the design of entire compressed air systems and applications, "said Sami Uusi Erkkil, CEO of the company?

say. We offer multiple solutions that are applied in different ways in different companies, just like how surgeons use different instruments at different stages of surgery

SmartAir's solution can generate significant added value by reducing compressed air waste caused by compressed air leaks.

Usually, the energy-saving potential is at least 20000 kilowatt hours per year, and most of the time it can exceed 50000 kilowatt hours per year? say

Provide high-quality compressed air at the lowest possible cost

For industries that use compressed air, accurate dew point measurement is crucial for financial and qualitative reasons. The company must produce compressed air at the lowest possible cost

At the same time, maintain its quality and usability.

To meet these customer requirements, SmartAir used the Vaisala Indigo80. The Vaisala Indigo80 is an easy-to-use portable device with integrated features

Multi language user interface, color display screen, and button controls. This device can achieve reliable on-site inspection and troubleshooting, on-site calibration and adjustment, process monitoring, and on-site operation

Data recording function.

The usability of Indigo80 is very significant, it can start measuring in the blink of an eye, "Uusi Erkkil said? say. What I admire the most about Indigo80 is its design

And a simple user interface. I believe that technology should serve people, not the other way around - this product has achieved it. In many cases, visual observation is the company's judgment of compression

Methods to determine if there are any issues with the air system. With Indigo80, we can collect valuable information, streamline it, and send it out. ”

The Vaisala Indigo80 eliminates the risks and inaccuracies associated with guessing and ensures that dew point readings match reality.

For ecological reasons, dew point measurement in compressed air systems is also important. If we cannot even obtain the required quality of compressed air, why waste energy?

”Uusi-Erkkil? say. Continuous monitoring of dew point can quickly respond to issues such as excessive humidity, which means equipment corrosion problems and unnecessary costs

Help Walki maintain the availability and quality of compressed air

One of SmartAir's clients, Walki Oy Valkeakoski (Walki), produces consumer goods and industrial packaging materials, as well as engineering materials for the construction industry. In order to meet the needs of customers

Strictly required, the compressed air they use must always maintain high quality, which means less pollutants and low moisture content to inhibit bacterial growth, which is crucial for food packaging

Especially important. The factory operates around the clock without interruption, and they have recently invested in a new system to ensure the reliability of compressed air production.

Walki requires SmartAir to ensure that its compressed air meets the requirements of ISO 8573-1 (the international standard defining the purity level of compressed air). When it is necessary to implement for Walki

When seeking a solution, they turned to Vaisala for key components.

The compressed air flow rate of the entire factory and the compressed air consumption of each production line are measured online, "Uusi Elkkil said? Explain. Similarly, compressed air

Quality is monitored 24 hours a day in terms of pressure and dew point. If there is a deviation in quality, the on duty operator will receive a text message notification. We installed a transmitter to achieve

This type of monitoring can perform on-site calibration to adjust parameters through comparative measurements. ”

When dealing with compressed air quality issues, measuring small changes in dew point temperature and responding accordingly can indeed lead to different results. With Indigo80, Walki

Thanks to reliable dew point measurement, the service life of compressed air systems can be extended and process quality improved, while ensuring compliance with customers' demanding requirements.
