Why compressed air transparency matters

Compressed air is one of the most critical – and most expensive – utilities in industrial production. Yet in many plants, key performance indicators remain invisible. Without reliable data and expert interpretation, inefficiencies, quality risks and operational issues often remain hidden. 

Can you answer these questions with confidence? 

  • Where is compressed air energy being wasted? 
  • How stable is your system during real production?
  • Are pressure fluctuations affecting processes?
  • Is air quality consistently meeting all requirements? 
  • Which optimization measures will deliver real value? 
  • What does your compressed air actually cost per year?

Why organizations choose CALMS

CALMS Air Intelligence allows visibility into energy consumption, air quality, and system condition by providing holistic compressed air analysis and monitoring across generation and treatment. Automated evaluations reveal cost drivers and create a solid foundation for targeted efficiency improvements and operational reliability. 

 Typical challenges in compressed air systems: 

  • Excessive energy consumption caused by inefficient operation
  • Undetected leakages leading to unnecessary costs
  • Fluctuating compressed air quality affecting processes and products
  • Insufficient data for maintenance and investment decisions 

 CALMS makes compressed air transparent – and optimization measurable.

FAQ – CALMS Air Intelligence

What is CALMS Air Intelligence?

CALMS Air Intelligence is a solution for analyzing and monitoring compressed air systems. It provides transparency regarding energy consumption, compressed air quality and system condition – either as a temporary analysis or as permanent monitoring. 15 years of experience and well-learned algorithms (AI) support you in interpreting the gathered data. Its approach is hollistic and also includes employer engagement as well as training and asset management to give you the opportunity to work on all your compressed air needs from one single hub.

What does compressed air monitoring mean?

Compressed air monitoring refers to the continuous measurement and evaluation of key operating data in a compressed air system. The goal is to detect deviations early, improve energy efficiency and ensure reliable operation. 

Is CALMS a Digital Twin?

CALMS shares some characteristics with Digital Twin technologies, but its primary focus is different.

Today, a Digital Twin is generally understood as a comprehensive digital representation of a physical asset that is continuously synchronised with real operating data and enables simulations, condition analysis or predictive modelling based on this virtual representation.

CALMS focuses on what creates the greatest value for compressed air system operators: collecting the relevant operational data, revealing meaningful relationships and turning these insights into actionable recommendations for operation, service and optimisation.

By combining intelligent data analytics with the decades of compressed air expertise of BEKO TECHNOLOGIES, CALMS delivers practical recommendations that help operators run their compressed air systems more efficiently, more reliably and more economically.

The focus of CALMS is not on creating a digital replica of a compressed air system, but on transforming relevant operational data into valuable knowledge – enabling better decisions and measurable improvements.

Which companies is CALMS suitable for?

CALMS is suitable for industrial companies that: 

  • face high compressed air energy costs
  • rely on stable compressed air supply
  • require data-based insights for optimization and investment decisions 
How complex is a CALMS System Check?

The CALMS System Check is time-limited and minimally invasive. All measurements are performed during normal operation without interfering with production. 

Does the measurement affect ongoing operation?

No. The measurement is designed to avoid any disruption to your ongoing processes. 

How quickly will I receive results?

After the measurement phase, you will receive a structured analysis report including clear findings and recommendations. 

Is CALMS a product or a consulting service?

CALMS is not a standard product, but a data-driven analysis and monitoring solution tailored to your specific application. 

Do I need to start with permanent monitoring right away?

No. Many customers start with a CALMS system assessment or Audit and decide on CALMS permanent installations such as Monitoring and Control based on the results.
