A link takes you directly to your compressor supplier for a service quote request. It’s fast and easy, and it’s always there when you need it.

SYSTEM SIMPLICITY ICONS

is easy to install. It is either factory-installed or retrofit to equipment in the field using an all inclusive kit. The ICONS box is installed in the electrical cubicle and connected through Ethernet or CAN Bus depending on the controller type of the compressor. Data are sent out via a small antenna on the compressor roof. One device to each machine is all it takes both for connectivity and local monitoring.

SEE THINGS COMING WITH ICONS

Dealing with surprises is not part of your core business. However, if the service requirements of your compressor are unknown, it might be running less efficiently, costing you money. And if a problem persists or gets worse, this could ultimately lead to an interruption of your production process. ICONS gives you the proactive options to avoid surprises and unforeseen costs. Depending on your needs and priorities, select the level of insight you want to get from ICONS.
