The Challenge

The air compression system accounted for 25% of an engine plant’s energy costs

The Solution

CompactLogix PLCs") - Provide equipment and programs to increase the efficiency of the plant’s five large centrifugal air compressors ControlLogix PLC") - Allows the compressors to load share and draw stored air from a new booster tank FactoryTalk View SE software") - Gives plant workers and remote partners access to near-real-time system information

Results

Cut Energy Costs - More efficient controls and access to stored air helped reduce energy usage by nearly 1 million kilowatt hours annually Improved Maintenance - Real-time trending data gives workers insights into system’s performance and eases troubleshooting. Remote access allows OEM to quickly support issues online instead of sending workers on site

Key Takeaways

  • Cut Energy Costs - More efficient controls and access to stored air helped reduce energy usage by nearly 1 million kilowatt hours annually
  • Improved Maintenance - Real-time trending data gives workers insights into system’s performance and eases troubleshooting. Remote access allows OEM to quickly support issues online instead of sending workers on site
