OmniMetrix, Provider of Remote Monitoring and Control Solutions for Pipelines and Standby Generators, Introduces AIRGuard Solution for Air Compressors

BUFORD, Ga., Nov. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- OmniMetrix, a provider of remote monitoring and control systems, primarily for gas pipelines and stand-by generators for businesses, homes, cell towers and other critical equipment, today announced the launch of its new AIRGuard brand of monitoring and control solutions for the industrial air compressor market.

OmniMetrix’s AIRGuard solution provides one of the most comprehensive compressor monitoring systems on the market. AIRGuard connects facility operators to their mission-critical air compressor assets instantly and anywhere from a PC, tablet or smartphone with real-time updates 24x7x365. Using patented, state-of-the-art technology, AIRGuard retrieves and transmits vital information to OmniMetrix’s cloud-based OmniView system, enabling users to access critical information, such as:

• Air Pressure and Temperature;
• Downstream Flowrate and Dewpoint Monitoring;
• Compressor Warnings and Shutdowns;
• Run & Load Hours, Motor Current; and
• Detailed Alarm & Fault History.

AIRGuard easily connects (typically under an hour) to an air compressor through the data rich modbus port on the compressor's control panel or via hardwired connections. AIRGuard also provides remote diagnostics, reading up to 256 different alarm or anolog conditions. Once a unit is active, all programming and updates are completed wirelessly and there is no local software to install. Data is also transmitted over cellular networks, thereby eliminating any need for wired Ethernet connections.
