In today’s competitive manufacturing environment, inefficiency isn’t just inconvenient, it’s costly. Wasted energy, unstable pressure, and unplanned downtime can quickly derail production, inflate operating costs, and damage output reliability. For plants running multiple compressors across 24/7 operations, these challenges directly threaten revenue and customer commitments.

Manual monitoring and basic air compressor controls are no longer enough. The rise of AI, IoT, and predictive maintenance technologies has transformed how manufacturers manage critical utilities. To stay competitive, facilities need more than a standard air compressor control system. They need an intelligent, connected solution that delivers real-time insights, predictive maintenance analytics, and centralized visibility. That’s where MANAGAIR® comes in.

What is MANAGAIR®?

MANAGAIR® is a smart compressed air system management solution designed for demanding, multi-compressor environments. Backed by over 50 years of compressed air expertise from OTC Industrial Technologies, it goes beyond traditional compressor monitoring systems.

With MANAGAIR®, manufacturing facilities gain:

  • Real-time system visibility across all compressors and auxiliary systems
  • Predictive maintenance software that detects issues before they cause downtime
  • Seamless integration with any brand, age, or configuration of air compressor
  • Energy efficiency gains that reduce utility costs and support sustainability goals

More than just compressor monitoring, MANAGAIR® also manages supporting equipment like chillers, dryers, and cooling towers all from a single platform.

Why MANAGAIR® Matters

1. Real-Time System Visibility

With plant-wide visibility, operators can instantly check the status of connected equipment. This type of remote condition monitoring provides early warnings, protects uptime, and eliminates the guesswork of manual checks. The impact: fewer production losses and stronger operational reliability.

2. Seamless Integration

Unlike many platforms, MANAGAIR® is brand-agnostic. It can connect and control 16+ air compressors across multiple sites, making it a future-ready compressor control system. By eliminating vendor lock-in, plants avoid costly equipment replacements and gain the flexibility to grow without limits.

3. Predictive Maintenance Software

Using advanced predictive maintenance tools and analytics, MANAGAIR® identifies irregularities before they become failures. This proactive approach enables planned service, prevents emergency repairs, and extends equipment life all while reducing maintenance costs. In fact, predictive maintenance solutions can significantly reduce downtime percentage, strengthening uptime in critical operations.

4. Energy Efficiency & Savings

Compressed air is one of the most energy-intensive utilities in manufacturing. MANAGAIR® optimizes air compressor sequencing, eliminates wasted run hours, and matches output to demand. Facilities can achieve up to 50% in energy savings, improving both cost control and ESG performance.

Built for Demanding Operations

MANAGAIR® is designed for industries where uptime, control, and cost savings are non-negotiable:

These industries often run multiple compressed air systems across different sites, requiring centralized control and reliable air compressor remote monitoring. MANAGAIR® ensures that operators can manage critical systems from anywhere, at any time.  

Closing the Gap in Compressed Air Reliability

In facilities where downtime is not an option, MANAGAIR® delivers the visibility, control, and efficiency manufacturers need to protect production. By combining advanced predictive maintenance solutions with real-time compressor monitoring, it transforms compressed air from a hidden cost into a strategic advantage.
