Given how important it is for powering critical equipment in manufacturing plants and other industrial environments, compressed air is often referred to as the “fourth utility.” Automated production lines, CNC machines, conveyors, robotic systems, pneumatic tools and more depend on a reliable source of compressed air to function, which makes a reliable compressed air system crucial.
As a leader in the compressed air space, CAM Technologies provides solutions and expertise that help customers throughout the industrial space keep their operations running as smoothly as possible. Our services and technology ensure these facilities experience maximum uptime, the highest levels of efficiency, safe working environments and exceptional product quality.
Common Challenges in Industrial Compressed Air Systems
The fact that so many manufacturers and other players in the industrial space depend on it means issues with compressed air systems are that much harder to ignore. The infrastructure needs to be carefully balanced and optimized to achieve the best results, but this can be easier said than done.
For example, many facilities have industrial air compressors that are either too large or too small for their needs. This can lead to either drops in productivity or wasted energy. Other operations may rely on manual controls to maintain proper pressure, only to find it insufficient for creating the right balance between capacity and demand.
CAM Technologies brings a wealth of expertise in diagnosing these and other problems, as well as the solutions. We’re focused on helping our customers throughout the industrial sector achieve the ideal setup for their compressed air infrastructure and control it.
CAMLink™ Solutions for Industrial Facilities
Manufacturers and other operations have to walk a tightrope of sorts when it comes to their industrial air compressor systems. They need to maintain enough pressure to ensure they can meet capacity during periods of peak demand, but not so much that they’re wasting energy. With compressed air costing up to 10 times as much as electricity, carrying excess capacity when it’s not needed can become extremely expensive.
Fortunately, CAM Technologies provides a solution in the form of the CAMLink™ compressed air control system. CAMLink™ controls compressors automatically, maintaining the proper amount of pressure needed to fit the needs at the moment. This means it can activate compressors when demand is high and scale back capacity when it tapers off, preventing systems from needing to catch up or maintaining too much pressure.
We provide a range of CAMLink™ systems to meet the needs of industrial operations of all sizes. For example, the CAMLink™ Nano is ideal for smaller setups that feature up to four rotary screw compressors. The CAMLink™ Mini and CAMLink™ Advanced offer support for systems with up to six industrial air compressors. CAMLink™ Premier is our most-advanced offering, capable of supporting especially large and complex compressed air installations and integrating with boilers, ventilation and water systems as well.
What all these systems have in common is the ability to control the efficiency of compressed air infrastructure with dynamic pressure maintenance, automated compressor sequencing and remote diagnostics. CAMLink™ was designed to provide industrial operations with the most comprehensive solution for managing the pressure and capacity of their compressed air systems so they can maintain high levels of productivity without wasting energy.
Remote Monitoring & 24/7 Visibility with CAMLink™ Online
One of the most important features of the CAMLink™ platform is the visibility it gives operators into their compressed air systems. The online dashboard and remote access it provides means users can see at a glance how well their system is performing and make any adjustments deemed necessary. With robust cybersecurity, cloud access and full integrations with existing control systems, CAMLink™ Online is the full-featured solution that delivers optimal results.
