Remote management helps improve customer

care and service

Bauer Compressors is a leading manufacturer of compressor systems that oer

commercial and industrial soluons for oxygen, natural gas (CNG), and some

noble gases. Having a turnover (not consolidated) of over 140 million Euro

worldwide, the BAUER KOMPRESSOREN Group has become a global player in

the high pressure sector. A world market share of over 70% for breathing air

applicaons underpins BAUER’s technological leadership.

The Challenge

Bauer recently launched a new product line that includes remote monitoring

capability – a feature that is new to the compressor market. In selecng the

remote monitoring vendor, Bauer wanted an easy-to-implement soluon for

the site installaons, and a soluon that provides easy central management

of all the monitored sites. “We wanted to implement remote monitoring on

our compressors in order to reduce downme and opmize gas consumpon”,

explains Tommy Michaelides, Bauer Compressors Inc., the US subsidiary.

The Solution

Bauer chose the Netbiter Soluon, consisng of GSM-enabled remote devices

and the Netbiter Online Management Portal. This industrial grade remote

management soluon enables access to mobile and staonary installaons

for applicaons such as monitoring, control, alarm management, data logging,

reporng, locaon tracking and service call. It is primarily made for remote

monitoring, but control is also possible: for instance PLC parameters can be

changed.

“With this web interface, operators can analyze the problem thanks to a PC

and a smart phone. Some are using an iPhone, and it is really appreciated by

our customers”, explains Tommy Michaelides. “This is a very modular soluon

we can duplicate easily on any other plant, whatever the compressor or the

PLC. New development is minimized and our objecve is to oer this opon

more on our dierent ranges of products”.

Bauer studied the oers from several vendors but the choice was made for

HMS: “it was less expensive and it appeared to be more proven. Most of all,

as it is a long term project for Bauer, it appears to us to be the most promising

oer: the web system is aracve and it is open to all PLCs and any kind of

eldbus”, concludes Tommy Michaelides.

The Result

“This added-value opon is very new in our industry. Return on investment

for our customers should be very short. Firstly, it simplies maintenance

operaons. Second, it also enables quicker intervenon when a problem

occurs. Thus, downmes are reduced and gas consumpon can also be

opmized. That’s very valuable as gas is expensive”.
