What do I need to know about ICONS?

Intelligent Connectivity System (ICONS)

Intelligent Connectivity System (ICONS) is the eyes into your compressed air system. Ditch the logbooks, the regular visits to the compressor room and dealing with surprises with your compressor. β€’ Most maintenance organizations operate between 10% to 40% efficiency β€’ Most spend more than 50% of time on emergency work β€’ Reactive maintenance costs 3-5 times more than preventive maintenance.

Proactive planning

Righttime: online logging and a monthly service email giving you an overview of your machine.
