We can take the competencies that have made us the world ’ s largest filtration manufacturer and apply them in new fields .” Currently , he says , the company is investing strategically in ‘ intelligent air solutions ’ for buildings like shopping malls , hotels and offices as well as premises where super clean air is required such as clean rooms , data centers and operating theaters .
The filter Looked at one way , a filter is passive and something not considered smart , however , tools are now available catalyze that transformation . “ Combining the latest smart technology , such as sensors , gateways , data acquisition and data mining we can build smart filtration solutions . Even at a basic level example , they can speak to us and tell us what is going through them , when they need changing , and what their operating conditions are .

If filters are changed too early just because they are done to a schedule , that incurs unnecessary cost . If they are changed too late , damage may result .

It ’ s easy to underestimate the waste caused by sloppy maintenance , including ‘ cleaning ’ filters by reverse-blowing compressed air through them and then refitting them . Engine damage and warranty problems caused by dust ingestion in mining trucks or agricultural machinery are to be avoided when a replacement engine can cost up to $ 50,000 , not to mention the cost of downtime . A smart filter can save the operator disasters
