Wireless Monitoring
with S.M.A.R.T. Technology
Airvac’s wireless monitoring system, powered by our patented S.M.A.R.T. (Strategic Monitoring for Advanced Remote Transfer) technology, ensures vacuum sewer systems operate at peak performance. By tracking system trends and identifying abnormalities in real-time, S.M.A.R.T. automatically adjusts system hydraulics to maintain optimal conditions.
How It Works:
The system monitors key parameters, including vacuum levels, valve status, high sump levels, cycles, and infiltration, and more. If an issue arises, the monitoring system pinpoints the exact location—whether along the vacuum main or at a valve pit—allowing for immediate corrections. This proactive approach prevents problems before they occur and reduces interaction from operators, lowering operational and maintenance costs.
Key Benefits:
- Predictive and Proactive: S.M.A.R.T. identifies potential issues and automatically makes adjustments to keep the system balanced.
- Efficiency: The system quickly addresses imbalances, resulting in a more cost-effective operation.
- Reduces Labor Interaction and Resources: The self-sufficient nature of S.M.A.R.T. reduces time spent on in-person interaction.
- 24/7 Support: Airvac specialists can monitor your system in real-time, providing assistance when necessary.
- Built-in Purge Cycle: Automatically clears vacuum mains at scheduled times to prepare for high flow events.
- Automatic Updates: Airvac remotely pushes programming updates to ensure your system remains current and efficient.
S.M.A.R.T. Technology - AI-Driven System Optimization
S.M.A.R.T. technology works seamlessly with Airvac’s wireless monitoring system to optimize vacuum sewer system performance. Using artificial intelligence (AI), S.M.A.R.T. communicates with station controls, automatically adjusting pump operations and vacuum levels as needed to maintain system stability.
Advanced Features:
- Built in Microswitch: Integrated into vacuum valves and sump breathers for easy connection of monitoring cables.
- No Magnets or Floats Required: Vacuum valve does not require a magnet, minimizing the risk of failure due to misalignment or debris build-up. Sump levels are monitored through our new diaphragm breather instead of using a float. This minimizes the chance of failure due to the float getting stuck or hung up on internal wiring and serves as a safety mechanism preventing sewage from backing up into homes.
- Two-Way Communication: Operators can remotely control S.M.A.R.T. vacuum valves, enabling real-time system adjustments from any location.
