In a glass factory, flow meters have been used to optimize the compressor control system. After an extensive audit, a new sequencer was installed to control a combination of turbo compressors and screw compressors. Also, many leaks were detected in the downstream production area. In some areas, the compressed air was banned out and replaced by blowers.
