Smart Air Compressor
“The compressor runs all day, and nobody knows where the air goes”
The compressor ran 2 h 40 min on a night with no production — about 14% of the day's air leaking away; check the pipework in the assembly area
- System pressure and current flow
- Time loaded against time running unloaded
- Energy per cubic metre of air produced
- Dew point — the quality of the air reaching the line
Figures on this screen are illustrative; a real one shows readings from your own site.
What you see
- Its power is high but cannot be separated from the plant's total
- It keeps running when production has stopped — usually a leak in the pipework
- Pressure is set high to be safe, without knowing what the work really needs
What we do
Power, pressure, flow and dew point measured continuously, run hours set against real production time, energy worked out per cubic metre of air, and a LINE alert when readings drift.
How it works
Pressure, flow, dew point, and each compressor's power
Collects the sensors and meters over WiFi or a 4G SIM
Every interval kept, including the nights and holidays that prove a leak
Momosight sets run hours against real production time, estimates the share leaking, and checks whether the set pressure is higher than needed
Pressure, flow, energy per cubic metre, and the loaded-versus-unloaded split
LINE when pressure falls or dew point climbs, with a monthly report
What it does
The hours the compressor runs with nothing in production show how much air is escaping — no guessing.
From measured power and flow: kWh per m³, and a fair comparison between machines.
The stretches where the compressor draws power without making air.
System pressure and air quality watched, with warning when moisture threatens the work.
Hours per machine, and a reminder at filter and oil intervals.
Compare every compressor from one screen and decide which to run first.
Devices used in this system
Prices are per set; how many you need depends on the site.
Where it fits
Air for machines and tools
Air that must stay dry
Air quality shows in the finish
Many air tools at once
Several machines alternating
Long pipe runs with many places to leak
How we work with you
- 01Survey the room
The machines and their sizes, the receiver, the pipework, and where sensors can go.
- 02Install and check
Pressure, flow and dew point sensors plus power meters fitted, then readings verified.
- 03Record a shutdown
A night or a holiday recorded as the baseline for estimating the leak.
- 04Support afterwards
Annual MA, with results and service intervals reviewed.

Questions about this system
Does the air system have to be shut down?
Pressure sensors use existing tapping points. The flow meter depends on the type and the pipe run; we assess it on site and book a production break only if it is needed.
How accurate is the leak estimate?
It uses air volume and the hours the compressor runs while nothing is in production — the accepted approach in an air audit. It sizes the problem and its trend; finding each leak still needs someone walking the pipework.
Which compressor brands does it suit?
Any of them, measured externally — power, pressure and flow. Reading the machine's own controller depends on whether it offers Modbus or status contacts.
Does lowering the set pressure really save?
Lowering it reduces the energy used, but how much depends on the pressure the work actually needs — which the data shows before you decide. We do not recommend lowering it blind.
