Abstract

A system includes at least one sensor device in a compressed air line, at least one smart control valve in the compressed air line, and at least one processor to receive sensor data associated with the compressed air line from the at least one sensor device, store the sensor data, compare the sensor data from the at least one sensor device with a threshold to determine whether there is one of productive demand and non-productive demand from a demand source connected to the compressed air line, send a command to the at least one smart control valve based on the one of the productive demand and the non-productive demand from the demand source, and operate the at least one smart control valve based on the command to open the smart control valve when there is productive demand and close the smart control valve when there is non-productive demand.
