The Ariel Smart Compressor

Connected Compressor

The Ariel Smart Compressor (ASC) is the next generation in compression monitoring, diagnostics, and data management. ASC is a manufacturer-installed electronic platform composed of numerous sensors and harnesses that relay operating information to an onboard central processor running Ariel performance calculation methodologies. This processor provides a digital twin to assist in troubleshooting performance discrepancies. Data is then delivered on-premise through a HMI touchscreen and has the ability to interact with in-network systems via Modbus or for remote monitoring via FW Murphy M-LINK®*.

*At the responsibility of the equipment owner, data service plans from FW Murphy are required to provide data to the Ariel Fleet Manager (AFM) website and mobile app. For more information contact FW Murphy IoT sales at fwm-sales@doverprecision.com

Ariel Fleet Manager

Ariel Fleet Manager unlocks the full potential of ASC allowing remote access to compressor data and trends.

The ASC onboard processor's digital twin is compared with real-time data collected by the system's core components. This allows for proactive maintenance alerts, real-time warnings, shutdowns, and the display of historical data within a specified date range to be shown to the end user via the ASC HMI touchscreen. Utilizing Ariel’s Fleet Manager (AFM) provides operators with the same information remotely, with the optional installation of FW Murphy’s IoT Gateway, M-LINK hardware.

M-LINK provides cellular and satellite connectivity to the compressor (currently available only in North America), unlocking the combined power of the ASC hardware and the AFM software working together. Operators can remotely connect to their compressor from headquarters via the AFM website or on-the-go through the AFM mobile app. This combination of hardware and software places a powerful, proactive, and predictive tool at the fingertips of compressor owners and operators, providing them knowledge and insight into the inner workings of their investment.
