A good way to purify the air in the workplace

Whether or not your factory has embarked on the journey of digital transformation, industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions are still just beginning, increasing productivity, reducing waste, improving worker safety and more sustainable operations are common expectations Factories often first think about how to improve their key customer value stream or core process. Today, a factory's digital strategy offers many opportunities to greatly improve production and overall operations. One of them is an industrial air filtration system that cleans and maintains the indoor air quality of the plant Air quality may not be the focus of iiot investments, but creating and maintaining clean work environments through smarter deployment of dust fume extraction and filtration equipment has a direct impact on employee health and safety, energy consumption and sustainability There are very few professionals who understand air purification and filtration in factories, and the Industrial Internet of Things provides a possibility for factories to easily control the air quality in their workshops under the operation of a set of intelligent dust removal and filtration systems. Let's see how the Welding Fume Exhaust System based on the Industrial Internet of Things can improve the operation of factories

Protect worker safety
Exposure limits and safety standards is an important part of any plant security plan Industrial iot ensure normal operation of the Welding Fume Exhaust System and protect the environment of the workers directly measured breathing zone near dust concentration or opacity, warning workers potential safety problems or directly activated control system, in order to minimize the risk exposure In addition, iiot can also be used to measure and track workers' use of pollution control equipment. The effectiveness and efficiency of encouraging employees to adopt pollution control equipment filters can lead to regular emission monitoring to ensure that indoor air quality and other limits are met Filtration system not only to protect workers from air pollution, and protect facilities from combustible dust caused by the fire and explosion hazards In 2018 alone, there are more than 250 and combustible dust report about the factory fire or explosion, injuring more than 100 people, 17 people were killed, which makes comply with NFPA or ATEX global standards become a key part of the security plan However, complex and constantly changing standards also pose challenges for companies. Iiot can help ensure standards are met in daily operations through algorithms developed by industry experts Such as safety device is active before start the production and the appropriate maintenance, such as have enough air to dust conveying to the pipeline system in full, in order to avoid dust accumulated in the pipe and the corresponding fire risk In addition to comply with the standards, the people awareness of personal safety and working conditions is higher than ever before Given the competitive job market and widespread labor shortages affecting manufacturers worldwide, the continued provision of clean air and improved safety can be a positive factor in recruiting and retaining employees
To save energy
Studies show that 70 percent of manufacturing electricity is consumed in industrial motor systems, such as fans, compressors or material handling equipment, which are part of most Industrial Dust Collectors. Using industrial iot solutions to actively monitor operational processes and initiate adjustments to operational systems can reduce the need for these industrial motors and identify issues that may hinder efficient operation. For example, proper monitoring of filter pressure drop can better perform filter dedusting, reducing unnecessary compressed air demand and associated power consumption.

For many manufacturing processes, such as welding, contaminants are produced only at a certain stage of the welding process. For example, workers (or robots) may spend a significant proportion of their time on installation or material handling without producing smoke during that time. As a result, iiot can integrate process information with the operation of filtration systems and operate only when pollutants are produced, thus minimizing energy requirements. The more information each machine shares, the more opportunities there are to optimize the process.
sustainability
With 95% of the world's population exposed to poor air quality, companies are under increasing pressure to take social responsibility. Improving filtration system performance with iiot solutions can be an important part of a sustainable development plan that protects workers, production facilities and the planet

If the particulate matter inside the factory is not controlled, it will inevitably be discharged into the outdoors, leading to poor air quality. Therefore, active monitoring of indoor air quality to ensure the proper use of filtration systems can help to avoid the dispersion of pollutants. Measuring particulate emissions can provide valuable data that can be used to reduce overall pollution levels, as well as prevent bad things from happening.

conclusion
If you are deploying iiot for your factory, consider air filtration systems as the next area of focus. Using smarter filtration systems to control air quality in your plant ensures a safer working environment, reduced energy consumption and downtime to reduce operating costs and achieve sustainability.
