Companies across industries are increasingly mindful of energy efficient solutions, therefore frequent energy audits are becoming an industry standard. Some of the most expensive utilities that require monitoring are compressed air and gases such as nitrogen and argon (Gorelick and Bandes 2011; Patil and Rickert 2020). The cost per unidentified air leak may vary between $1,2000 – $2,000, which can easily add up to a significant loss for an enterprise if repeated several times. Gas leaks are even more concerning as they pose risks of ignition and can potentially lead to catastrophic outcomes.
Compressed air and gas systems are significant for industries such as pharmaceuticals, commercial printing, food packaging and many others because of their high energy transfer capacity. They are also clean, dependable, and simple to use (Çağman et al. 2022). On the other hand, these systems can be inefficient because of their high electricity usage and high CO emissions. Therefore, to increase energy efficiency, smart monitoring systems should be implemented whenever compressed air or gas is used in manufacturing.
To reduce the cost of gas and compressed air leaks, utilizing Cassia Networks X2000 Bluetooth technology can be highly beneficial. The X2000 Bluetooth Gateway offers long-range connectivity for Industrial IoT applications, making it ideal for efficiently monitoring and managing systems to prevent leaks. By integrating the Cassia X2000 Bluetooth Gateway into industrial settings, companies can enhance their leak detection systems, leading to cost savings and improved operational efficiency. The X2000’s features such as multiple device connectivity, edge processing capabilities, and long range seamless sensor coverage make it a robust solution for detecting and proactively addressing potential threatening leaks.
Moreover, the X2000’s ability to extend Bluetooth connectivity up to 400 meters with Bluetooth 4 and up to 1 kilometer for Bluetooth 5 in open spaces enhances its utility in large industrial environments where gas and compressed air leaks can occur. Incorporating the X2000 Bluetooth Gateway can streamline leak detection processes, reduce maintenance costs associated with leaks, and enhance overall operational safety. The device’s weatherproof design, remote access capabilities, and security features make it a reliable tool for industrial IoT applications.
