Step into the world of factories! Imagine a busy factory where machines are running, parts are moving, and things are being made. It’s like a complicated dance with many moving parts that needs to be carefully coordinated in order to keep track of everything, from the smallest part to the finished product.A complicated network of extraction systems works hard behind the scenes to keep the environment safe and efficient. But these systems often run into problems that were not expected, which can stop them from working and make costs go up. These are some problems that companies often have:

• Lack of in-house expertise: When extraction devices break down, businesses may not have the skills to fix them themselves, so they have to call outside help, which can be expensive and take a lot of time.
• Concerns about air quality: If you don’t change your filters on time or use cheap ones, the air quality can get bad, which can hurt both the health of your employees and the quality of your products.
• Poor maintenance: If companies don’t have the right data and predicted maintenance plans, they might not be able to fix problems before they get too bad.
• Operation that isn’t needed: Extraction systems may keep running during holidays or times when they’re not supposed to, losing energy and resources.
• Mistakes that happen out of the blue: Extraction systems can fail without warning, stopping work and costing a lot of money in lost time.
• Overexertion: Systems may be working harder than they need to, which causes more damage and uses more energy.

Taking care of these problems is necessary to keep the factory setting healthy and productive. Companies can invest in suitable maintenance and upgrade to more efficient systems to minimize downtime, reduce costs.

One-stop solution for keeping filter systems running smoothly and efficiently. Fortunately, we’ve created a tool that can help you tackle all the issues mentioned earlier. Plymovent’s ControlPro Connect is an intelligent online platform designed to oversee and control Plymovent extraction systems, including the modular dust collector and self-cleaning central filter system. To achieve this, you need to install the ControlPro operating system on the filter systems. The platform offers various features designed to oversee and control the extraction system, utilizing customizable thresholds, the type of exhaust fan, and the appropriate fan speed. With ControlPro Connect, you can also:

• Extract groups and assign them to specific zones. You can upload your factory’s floorplan, mark your zones, and position your extraction systems right on that map. Making a single overview that shows the status of all your filter systems.
• Modify extraction systems to align with workfloor activities using weekly timers, overtime timers, and holiday timers.
• Create alerts that keep you updated on issues or scheduled maintenance activities.

Imagine having a crystal-clear window into the performance of filter systems. Control Pro Connect can see how filters are being used in real time and find any problems that might stop activities. In that way, Control Pro Connect is like a bodyguard for filter systems. ControlPro Connect makes the following types of information available and accessible:

• Five different graphs, which can be filtered per time unit (day, week, month or year). The different graphs focus on filter cleaning, energy consumption/energy savings, running hours (fan) , filter pressure, and fan frequency.
• These graphs offer historical data. This information allows you to recognise trends and make predictions.
• Overview of all active alerts (warnings/alarms). Also a complete logbook of all historic alerts per system.

You can see and be sure of the quality of the indoor air in real time. It has many monitors that keep an eye on eleven pollutants and climate factors. real-time information and peace of mind about the health of the air inside. So you can manage your extraction systems from anywhere with a secure environment, even remotely from your house! The factory map is meant to be simple; anyone can use it, even if you aren’t very good with computers. You can get more information about the filter pressure, energy savings, and alerts by checking the filter you want to see. So you have:

• Smart tools that store data from the past and show interesting trends. Know all about your tools inside and out. Our way of managing extraction systems is “guess less, know more.”
• Make a plan for keeping your extraction devices in good shape. This makes it more reliable and can stop unplanned downtime and output loss.
• Get emails with alerts and reminders. You can keep control of your own tools this way. Do something about it on your own.
• Full information about how all of your factory’s extraction systems are working in real time.
• Quick and easy help from your dealer or installer. It is also possible to help from afar.

The factory map saved Plymovent a lot of money and time by showing them what was going on with their filter systems in real time. This helped them find and fix any problems before they got too bad.
