Integrated Industry - Smart Management of your Process Air Intelligent networking with AERZEN solutions Digitisation is a central feature of industrial development. The Hanover Fair, for example, will once again be operating under the slogan “Integrated Industry.” The solutions competence of AERZEN shows what the intelligent networking of man and machine in compressor technology can look like. The innovative machine control system AERsmart is the most intelligent component in the AERZEN communication network.The interaction of the control and monitoring components AERsmart, AERtronic and Webview from AERZEN is the special performance of the entire process design at the customer’s place of business.AERtronic controls the process air supply. AERtronic‘s control system includes all common interfaces such as MODBUS RTU (standard), PROFIBUS DP, MODBUS Gateway between RTU and MODBUS TCP (Ethernet) and PROFINET©. The touchscreen navigation is intuitive and user-friendly. All operating data is archived and logged, thus facilitating reliable evaluation. Maintenance cycles can be planned and carried out in advance on the basis of operating hours. As a master version, the overall performance of the system can be improved via AERtronic. The utilisation of individual machines across the entire network can also be displayed more homogeneously. Energy savings of up to 15% can be achieved by switching compressors on and off according to consumption and demand.As an innovative machine control system, AERsmart represents the most intelligent component in the communication network. With AERsmart, the required oxygen demand in the wastewater tank can be distributed to the machine park in such a way that low, medium and high loads are served as optimally as possible within the configuration of the plant. The respective load profiles are achieved precisely and efficiently. The result: clever load distribution thanks to smart controlled combination operation and energy saving of up to 15%.WebView is the central control element for transparency in machine park management. The module can be easily integrated into the control panel via plug-and-play and offers access to relevant data and information from anywhere in the world. Once connected to the system, WebView can be used to retrieve all process data via a PC, smart phone or tablet. Whether implemented locally or globally, this is a key building block for your Industry 4.0 solution.
AERZEN divests its Gas Meter division Aerzener Maschinenfabrik GmbH successfully sold its product division rotary piston gas meters to RMA Rheinau GmbH at the end of 2018.The AERZEN rotary piston gas meter has been a product rich in tradition at Aerzener Maschinenfabrik since 1930. Due to their design, however, demand and sales of measuring instruments were concentrated primarily on the German market. On the basis of the company’s international growth strategy, which mainly focuses on compressor technology and application specialisation, the AERZEN gas meter no longer fits in with the future target orientation. Against this background, the management decided to sell this product division to another company in the industry with good know-how.“For AERZEN it was very important to find a buyer who would offer the product range to our long-standing customers with the usual high quality,” says the CEO, Klaus-Hasso Heller. “We are very pleased that we have now found a reliable partner in RMA, based in Rheinau, who will not only continue the AERZEN technology, but will also develop it further in this way,” adds Klaus-Hasso Heller.
