The CALMS (Compressed Air Management System) energy management system offered by SCOPP Solutions in partnership with HPE d.o.o, is designed to optimize and efficiently manage the usefulness of industrial compressed air. The system offers a range of features and tools designed to improve the energy performance of compressed air networks. Here's a detailed summary of the main features and developments planned for 2025:

CALMS main features :

  • Pre-audit:
    A preliminary assessment, without measurement, enables us to take stock of the compressed air system, identify potential improvements and calculate potential savings. This phase is based on interviews, an analysis of the system's design and an assessment of its efficiency.
  • Diagnosis of compressed air losses:
    The CALMS system collects compressed air losses, which are identified using ultrasonic cameras and applying the requirements of ISO 11011. These losses include compressed air leaks, inappropriate use and artificial consumption. This data is collected, analyzed and shared with the relevant teams to ensure the necessary repairs.
  • Staff commitment:
    The success of continuous improvement depends on the active participation of staff. The CALMS system includes follow-up awareness-raising, training and reporting, ensuring the sustainability of improvements and the evolution of energy management.
  • Audit with measurement:
    A real-time audit allows you to measure and analyze failures as they occur. The data collector used for the audit obtains simultaneous measurements at a frequency of one second from sensors and meters installed in the compressor room, compressed air distribution and usage, thus providing a complete and accurate view of the system.
  • Monitoring:
    The advanced monitoring system tracks compressed air performance in real time and provides expert recommendations to maintain system efficiency over the long term.
  • Compressed air infrastructure management:
    A module is dedicated to managing the maintenance and overhaul of compressed air equipment, ensuring its smooth operation through regular monitoring.
  • AI model integration:
    Artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in providing accurate recommendations, rapid solutions and in-depth data analysis for continuous system optimization.
  • Collaborative environment:
    The system fosters collaboration between consultants, customers and subcontractors to monitor and implement improvement actions.

New products announced for 2025:

  • Wireless sensor connectivity:
    A wireless module for connecting sensors and equipment without complex wiring, improving efficiency, safety and simplicity of installation and maintenance.
  • Enhanced Master Control System and redesigned CAL-PM units:
    The control algorithms of the EMCS system have been enhanced to offer greater precision and stability. CAL-PM units now feature larger human-machine interfaces (HMIs), facilitating system management with clearer overviews.

Conclusion:

The CALMS system offered by SCOPP Solutions is a powerful tool for optimizing the use of compressed air in industry, with an approach focused on continuous improvement, loss reduction and the sustainability of optimizations. The 2025 evolutions aim to make the system even more efficient, thanks in particular to wireless connectivity and improved control interfaces.
