What is Helix™ Connected Platform?
Developed to maximize uptime, quality and energy efficiency, the Helix™ Connected Platform uses innovative sensor technology to provide total transparency into your compressor’s performance. Utilizing the technological advancements IIoT and I4.0 provide, Helix allows you to receive data and alerts from a cloud-based platform to your PC, tablet or smartphone. This makes operational efficiency simple by keeping
you connected and reducing your costs.
What Are the Benefits of Helix for your facility?
Maximize Uptime - Helix™ connectivity provides powerful insights direct to your PC, tablet or smartphone to keep compressors operating at peak performance and reduce the risk of downtime. Visibility into machine functionality reduces the time needed to solve issues. In addition, Helix™ connectivity promotes a more predictive and condition-based maintenance strategy rather than strict calendar-scheduled service. Therefore, your compressor gets what it needs when it needs it, helping you to meet specific operational needs.
Cost Savings & Quality - With Helix™ Connected Platform, you can reduce your costs and ensure you are consistently meeting your expected air pressure for your demand and air flow. Helix™ Connectivity allows for remote monitoring that measures your air pressure against demand, enabling visibility into whether or not your compressor is delivering the required air pressure. Fast detection of these potentially costly pressure changes by the Helix™ Connected Platform allows for efficient response times due to early detection of issues. This helps to reduce further repair or maintenance costs by resolving any equipment under-performance, thus helping you get back to optimum quality air delivery as soon as possible.
Energy Efficiency - Helix™ connectivity allows you to achieve maximum machine efficiency through proactive communications, service reminders and actionable insights. Less energy is needed to resolve issues ensuring more for your operations! IIoT has also enabled the Helix™ connected platforms to provide users with solutions that require less energy but still allow their equipment to perform better, helping to promote a more sustainable compressed air future!
