Discover the energy cost savings

Monitoring Box FTMg Premium is the name of SICK’s compressed air monitoring system that accurately predicts where significant energy cost-savings can be made by fixing air leaks and removing wastage across entire production and logistics facilities.

As  a digital and scalable service, it can be used by energy managers and maintenance engineers to make compressed air cost savings of up to 30%, as well as to eliminate manual maintenance regimes. 

The service analyses and displays accurate data from Sick’s FTMg multifunctional flow sensors that measure the compressed air usage of machines and processes. Compressed air consumption data is visualised in easy-to-use graphic displays, while alarms can be set up to alert when new leaks occur.

By interpreting the data, leaks and inefficiencies are easily eliminated, users understand their processes better and can make ’round-the-clock decisions to optimise their energy usage. They can make their production processes more sustainable, for example by reducing their CO₂ consumption. The data insights also contribute towards ISO50001 Energy Management certification.

The FTMg, which stands for Flow Thermal Meter for inert gases, uses the dynamic calorimetric principle for precision measurement, enabling it to detect even the smallest changes reliably. Its straight measurement channel design ensures highly-accurate measurement with almost zero pressure loss as gases flow through the sensor during measurement. ■
