Abstract

Design/methodology/approach.The existing tools that can be used to construct and further use in engineering practice compressed air systems are considered.

Findings. Development of the concept of automatic determination of the condition of the compressed air preparation unit using the possibilities of the industrial revolution 4.0.

Originality/value. By applying pressure sensors and electronic pressure gauges and processing their signals with the SCADA system, automatic determination of the technical condition of the compressed air preparation units of both the compressor station and individual consumers. A new method for determining the technical state of air conditioning units using electronic air pressure sensors and automated process control systems is proposed.
