How does it work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The prereq\u00adui\u00adsite is that your fan is an EC fan with a Modbus inter\u00adface. We can then include it in status moni\u00adtoring in our epCloud\u200a\u2014\u200aeven if it is not one of our fans. The system records data such as output, vibra\u00adtion, energy consump\u00adtion and more. The data is then analyzed by the cloud. On this basis, we can make recom\u00admen\u00adda\u00adtions for demand-led oper\u00ada\u00adtion or remedy faults. If the customer wants, the system can control certain fan values auto\u00admat\u00adi\u00adcally. A collat\u00aderal benefit is that we can use the resulting wealth of data in the cloud to train an AI system that will deliver further advan\u00adtages in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading no-clear\">What sort of recom\u00admen\u00adda\u00adtions are made for demand-led \u00adoper\u00ada\u00adtions?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The recom\u00admen\u00adda\u00adtions relate to various aspects such as increasing oper\u00ada\u00adtional effi\u00adciency, the inter\u00adac\u00adtion of several fans or the condi\u00adtion of the fan. For example, we suggest adjusting the fan speed, checking the filter for soiling or changing the output distri\u00adb\u00adu\u00adtion within a fan wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ebmpapst-7237.kxcdn.com\/de\/files\/2024\/09\/ebm-papst-mag_Screen.webp\" alt class=\"wp-image-35465\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A phys\u00adical and digital retrofit is usually amor\u00adtized after just one year because digital moni\u00adtoring yields<br>addi\u00adtional savings as high as 20 percent.
