About us

pneumetrix helps factories improve energy efficiency and reliability through compressed air management.

Compressed air is an essential, yet costly input for most industrial processes. Therefore, reducing its energy use while ensuring reliable air quality is a key step towards sustainable manufacturing.

We provide you with a holistic process to identify, implement and track savings and reliability improvements. As independent efficiency experts, our sole focus is to help you save energy and not to sell equipment.

Our process
1. Visit

We visit your plant to learn about your processes and compressed air system. Based on your requirements, we then select monitoring equipment and additional audit steps.

2. Installation

We install monitoring equipment and set up a private cloud platform where you can obtain information about your CA system and saving opportunities.

3. Improvements

Based on the data gathered from your installation, we suggest and help you implement improvements that reduce your energy consumption and ensure reliable air supply.

4. Tracking

We keep track of the improvements implemented in your CA system. This way you reduce your ecological footprint sustainably and can show your progress to stakeholders.

Case Study: Printing industry

  • We implemented our system in a Spanish printing company. Their CA system consists of two 45kW compressors working in two shifts a day (about 16 hours), at least five days per week
  • Previously to pneumetrix, the company had no knowledge of the costs related to their CA system
  • After a visit to the plant, we installed a sensors that measure the total air consumption of the factory and power used by each compressor
  • Based on our measurements, we accurately calculated the total cost of the CA system and were able to identify a number of inefficiencies
  • Overall, we were able to identify actionable measures to reduce the CA system costs by around 40%
Frequently Asked Questions

Our production processes depend on stable air supply. Will efficiency measures compromise the pressure level in our installation?

Contrary to common belief, optimizing a CA installation for energy efficiency will also have a positive impact on its performance and reliability. Problems such as excessive pressure drop at individual machines are often rooted in undersized piping or insufficient receiver volume rather than compressor performance. Identifying and fixing these issues often helps our customers not only to get a more stable air supply out of their existing compressors but even to downsize compressors and associated cost.

Do you also offer a one-time audit service?

We believe that any sustainable change process involves close monitoring of the progress made and should be carried out continuously. Every change to your production processes brings new challenges and therefore saving opportunities to your CA system. This is why we highly recommend monitoring you CA system permanently with our solution. Nonetheless, we can still offer you one-time system and/or leak audits if you wish.

Will I have to stop my production for the installation of measuring equipment?

In most cases, installation of our sensors can be carried out without interrupting your production. During our first visit to your plant, our specialists will assess your setup and propose the least disruptive method of installation. Should we need to access air tubing in a depressurized state or electrical cabinets powered off, we are flexible to coordinate our work with planned maintenance work.

Our maintenance budget is very limited. Does improving our CA system require big investment?

Some of the most effective improvements to a typical CA system require no or very little investment. Measures such as (partially) shutting down the installation according to production schedule to avoid standby leakage can often be implemented easily and lead to significant savings. And even steps such as renewing compressors often pays off within months when considering energy cost which usually represents up to 80% of total cost of ownership.

Is data you obtain from our CA system safe with you?

We safely send and store your data in a private cloud platform specifically set up for each of our customers. Whenever we see your benefit in sharing information on your system, for instance when requesting quotations for equipment, we will do so only upon your explicit agreement and with full transparency.
