Air compressors for a digital world are quickly becoming essential for modern manufacturing, distribution centres and public infrastructure. Pilot Air has met this challenge with digital integration that saves time, resources and energy costs.
Twenty-four-hour operation, 7 days a week is now the norm for many businesses, especially those in materials handling, distribution and the management of public infrastructure such as water treatment plants.
The demand must be balanced against the cost. Every enterprise, regardless of its purpose, must find savings in staffing, downtime, repairs and maintenance, energy and reduced carbon emissions.
The supply of vital compressed air is one such demand that Pilot Air’s innovative ALTA-TEC rotary screw air compressors is helping large-scale organisations to reduce overheads and add value to the bottom line.
“Smart air compressors designed for Australia — delivering up to 50% energy savings through digital innovation.”
ALTA-TEC range of rotary screw air compressors

Pilot Air’s digitally enhanced ALTA-TEC air compressors continue to be the compressed air solution of choice for Pilot Air’s industrial customers. These powerful units deliver on reliability, performance and cost of life that exceed expectations.
Each unit on the ALTA-TEC range comes with an advanced electronic login controller.
This feature enables remote monitoring (on demand) – via GSM, GPRS, ethernet or WiFi module – for online compressor status, remote assistance, connection with PC, smartphone and tablet, and for connection between neighbouring compressors.
The optional Service Management System (SMS 2.0) device allows operators and service centres to remotely control and perform preventive maintenance checks on screw compressors equipped with ETIV controller. These facilities are part of the configuration for a local internet network via Wi-Fi or ethernet connectivity.
The SMS system sends emails automatically in the case of a fault or other anomalies and/or for automatic regular emails (hourly, daily or weekly) to be sent to monitor the proper operation of the compressor and to define the remaining hours for service. Remote access to other information and settings is aimed at safeguarding the reliability of the system.
Key Takeaways
Digital Innovation
ALTA-TEC compressors use IoT, smart controllers, and real-time monitoring to optimise performance.
Significant Savings
Up to 50% energy cost reductions compared with fixed-speed compressors.
Built for Australia
Engineered to perform in harsh conditions including heat, humidity, dust, and coastal environments.
Industry-Wide Applications
Ideal for manufacturing, logistics, and infrastructure projects where uptime and reliability are critical.

Saving energy - great for the environment and the hip pocket
When compared to the operation of a fixed speed compressor, an ALTA-TEC is able to achieve significant energy savings, up to 50%. This represents a reduction of around 30% to the total life cycle costs during years of use.
Environmental sustainability is an important objective and why a focus on the efficiency of all processes is critical. ALTA-TEC compressors provide a significant opportunity in this area.
The ALTA-TEC rotary screw air compressor range reduces energy consumption and CO2 emissions, representing an ecological and sensible choice.
The advanced and extremely compact permanent magnet motors guarantee the highest performance along with a much wider speed/load range when compared to traditional inverter-controlled asynchronous motors.
They offer substantial advantages in terms of energy savings. This applies especially when used at partial capacity and load, which is a characteristic of modern applications throughout smart industrial sectors.
