Digitally integrated air compressors

Digitally integrated air compressors ensure large enterprises keep costs down and productivity up. Pilot Air’s Australian-manufactured digitally controlled air compressors lead the industrial and commercial market.

Pilot Air is at the forefront of digital integration in air compressor technology. We’ve set a pioneering standard in design, manufacturing and operation. Our commitment to integrated technology positions us as a leader in the industry, driving advanced efficiencies and heightened reliability across our expansive customer base, resulting in tangible cost savings.

“Smart controls and real-time monitoring — digitally integrated compressors that cut costs and boost reliability.”

The advanced ALTA-TEC series

The highly advanced ALTA-TEC series from Pilot Air redefines benchmarks for efficiency, reliability and energy savings. Our dedication to research & development enhances the already acclaimed ALTA-TEC series, making it the superior product in the industrial market. Incorporating permanent magnet motors and boasting IE4 Efficiency class – super premium efficiency – combined with our direct transmission system and the cutting-edge ‘Login’ electronic controller, this series showcases our commitment to innovation.

These technologies, coupled with the utilisation of our latest generation air-ends, culminate in the creation of the most advanced, quiet, reliable and efficient compressor available.

The inverter, seamlessly integrated into the electrical panel, dynamically regulates motor speed, adjusting airflow in real-time to match compressed air requirements. This eliminates current surges with a soft start-up and significantly reduces operating cycles, preventing unnecessary no-load operation and minimising energy wastage and reducing energy costs.

Sustainability is a critical element

In the pursuit of environmental sustainability, ALTA-TEC compressors offer a substantial opportunity. By choosing our products, companies contribute to reducing energy consumption and CO2 emissions, making a sensible ecological choice.

The new Login controller introduces advanced software capabilities, enhancing diagnostic functions and ensuring outstanding performance in all conditions. Login offers remote control and facilitates multi-compressor management, providing additional features for streamlined operation.

The centralised Login electronic controller oversees all functions, ensuring the efficient and reliable operation of the compressor in diverse conditions. In the event of irregularities, Login promptly alerts the user, enabling operator intervention.

Integrated connectivity

Integrated connectivity with optional remote monitoring allows for comprehensive information retrieval on the compressor’s status from a distance. The ISC system enables the simultaneous connection of up to eight different compressors, utilising a master-slave logic.

It can be employed with other compressors not equipped with Login through optional modules tailored for specific compressors.

Pilot Air continues to dominate advanced technology in the air compressor market. Our investment in IoT ensures we remain at the forefront of digital technology and integrate our customised industrial compressed air solutions to meet the future confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the ALTA-TEC series “digitally integrated”?

The ALTA-TEC series is equipped with IE4 super-premium efficiency permanent magnet motors, a direct transmission system, and the advanced Login electronic controller that enables real-time airflow adjustments, soft start-ups, and remote diagnostics. See more on the ALTA-TEC series features to explore efficiency and controls.

How does remote monitoring and IoT improve reliability and lower operating costs?

Pilot Air offers optional remote monitoring modules (GSM, Ethernet, WiFi), plus the Login controller can connect multiple compressors under master-slave logic. These tools allow early detection of anomalies, reduced downtime, and smarter usage. 

Are these compressors reliable under Australia’s harsh environmental conditions?

Yes. Pilot Air builds its digitally integrated units in Australia, designed to handle extreme heat, high humidity, dust, and corrosive coastal air. The ALTA-TEC series is tested and backed by local service teams in Sydney ensuring sustained performance. (See how Pilot Air supports this under Air Compressor Solutions & Service).

What size or scale of business benefits most from digitally integrated compressors?

Large enterprises and industrial operations running multiple compressors see the biggest gains. When compressors can be centrally monitored (via Login / ISC), runtime optimised, and multiple units coordinated, energy and maintenance efficiencies are maximised. This is outlined in Pilot Air’s Custom-Built Packages & System Design offerings.
