Utvyakta: Enabling intelligence for air compressors

Utvyakta Solutions was started with a simple vision that is hard to execute – to reduce industrial carbon emissions caused by air compressors and incrementally reduce energy costs. An entrenched part of industry, it is difficult to completely update the hardware component of plants.

Utvyakta’s answer to this challenge was to bypass replacement, or total overhauling of air compressors, where they cannot be installed from scratch since these are long-gestation deployments. Instead, Utvyakta devised a system that could continuously monitor and assist in the maintenance of the compressors aided by digital technology in a manner that drives substantial gains in efficiency.

Powered by an advanced algorithm, Kompress.ai enables monitoring of critical parameters and analytics to derive specific performance and utilisation insights. It can be integrated with any existing ERP/data management IoT layer already deployed at the plant. It is currently deployed by many leading air compressor manufacturers and also users of compressors across industries globally.

Kompress.ai has been recognised for its substantial reduction in energy and maintenance costs, saving 15% on the former and 10% on the latter. It empowers manufacturing plants to plan and schedule maintenance in such a manner that it results in zero unplanned downtime by predicting and managing operational disruptions from unplanned servicing and fault detection.

The solution provides flexibility in monitoring with 24/7 remote connectivity that checks compressor health through an app from anywhere, at any time. The entire solution is optimised to provide actionable insights in a timely manner, to keep compressor health in check with valuable information that arrives without disrupting operations.

Architected for maximum compatibility, the solution is modular and works with any existing compressor of any type. It can be installed with minimal additional interruption of operations. Outfitted with robust sensors and a dedicated data network, the solution ensures you get critical updates in real-time, ensuring you can act before an issue becomes critical.

From data acquisition to visualisation using AI to track assets anytime, anywhere, Utvyakta is powered by the belief that maintenance should be proactive and not reactive. The team is currently working on developing custom solutions for specific use cases to provide a live feed of critical equipment to drive increased performance efficiencies and cost savings.
