A branded app for a compressor brand
A compressor brand serving Southeast Asia gives its own customers live machine status, power, temperature, pressure and running hours on their phones. It is built on AirFinity and live on Google Play.
Air compressor monitoring system
See what every compressor is doing and costing, every minute.
AirFinity connects the air compressors you already run to a live dashboard and mobile alerts. Energy, pressure, temperature and run state for each machine, logged every 60 seconds.

The blind spot
One meter for the whole plant.
No idea which compressor is burning it.
Compressed air is one of the most expensive utilities in a factory and one of the least measured. The whole plant sits behind a single electricity meter, so each compressor's share of the bill is invisible. And a failing compressor usually announces itself by stopping production.
Today: what the bill shows
With AirFinity: what's inside it
Illustration, not client data.
-
A
Breakdowns arrive without warning
Rising temperature and pressure drift show up days early in the data, if anyone is logging it.
-
B
Waste hides in the averages
Unloaded running, short cycling and weekend idling cost energy but never appear on a monthly bill.
-
C
Records live on clipboards
Hand-written log sheets can't raise an alarm at 2am or prove an energy saving to management.
How it works
From the compressor room to your phone in five hops.
AirFinity is a retrofit. We read the data your compressor already has, add sensors where it doesn't, and never touch the machine's own control system.

Energy per compressor, not per plant
kWh logged continuously for each machine, so you can allocate cost, spot the inefficient unit and prove a saving after you fix it.
- kWh per compressor, per shift, per day
- Load vs unload time (power spent making no air)
- An auditable record for energy and ESG reporting
The right person hears first
Push notifications when a reading crosses a threshold or behaves abnormally, so the problem reaches someone before it reaches the production line.
- Threshold alerts on pressure and temperature
- Anomaly alerts on unusual behaviour
- Delivered to the mobile app

- Energy and ESG teams who need per-asset kWh records instead of estimates.
Air compressor monitoring, answered.
What is AirFinity?
AirFinity is an industrial IoT system from Avantix Innovation Sdn. Bhd. that monitors air compressors in real time. It logs energy (kWh), discharge pressure, temperature and run state every minute and shows them on a web dashboard and mobile app, with alerts when readings go outside normal ranges.
Does AirFinity work with the compressors we already have?
Yes. AirFinity is a retrofit system. Where the compressor controller supports RS-485 Modbus RTU, AirFinity reads it directly. Where it does not, external sensors are installed. The compressor's own control system is not modified.
What happens if the factory internet goes down?
The on-site edge gateway keeps logging and buffers readings locally, then sends them to the cloud when the connection returns, so readings taken during the outage are not lost. Live dashboard updates and alerts resume when the connection is back.
How does compressor monitoring reduce energy cost?
It shows the energy use of each compressor instead of one figure on the plant electricity bill. With one-minute data you can see compressors running unloaded, cycling too often or running outside production hours, and fix those patterns. In one Penang deployment across six compressors, the client reported about 25% energy cost savings within three months and around 40% less unexpected downtime.
Why log compressor data every minute instead of hourly?
Compressors cycle between load and unload within minutes. Hourly averages hide that behaviour, which is where a lot of wasted energy sits. One-minute data makes it visible.
Can AirFinity data be used for ESG or energy reporting?
Yes. Continuous kWh logging gives an auditable energy record for each compressor, and reports can be exported from the dashboard instead of being assembled by hand.
How long does it take to install AirFinity?
It depends on how many compressors are connected and how they are wired. In a reference deployment, six compressors went from site survey to a live dashboard in two weeks. The timeline for your plant is written into the scope before work starts.
How much does AirFinity cost?
AirFinity is quoted per site, because the number of compressors and their interfaces decide the hardware and installation work. Avantix starts with a free consultation, normally arranges a site survey, and gives a written scope and fixed quote before any work starts.
Who installs and supports AirFinity?
Avantix Innovation Sdn. Bhd., a software house in Simpang Ampat, Penang (SSM 202401000888), handles the full system: sensors and RS-485 wiring, the edge gateway, the cloud platform, the dashboard and the mobile app. Support is local, in English and Bahasa Malaysia.
