Compressed air is an essential resource for many industrial operators. Used in a variety of applications, ranging from pneumatic tools to production line automation, it is often referred to as the "fourth utility" alongside electricity, gas, and water. However, its use is highly energy-intensive: according to the French Agency for Ecological Transition (ADEME), compressed air can account for up to 10% of the electricity consumption of an average industrial site. In certain sectors, this proportion can reach as high as 30%. Therefore, optimizing energy consumption related to compressed air represents a major lever for improving overall performance and reducing operating expenses. This article examines the challenges associated with compressed air, the key indicators to monitor, and the solutions available to improve its energy efficiency.

LoRa, standing for "Long Range," enables the deployment of private networks with secure, encrypted communication. Data control is thus maintained locally by the industrial operator, without dependency on a telecom provider. The range between transmitter and receiver is 500 meters (with a maximum recorded distance of over 40 km), allowing complete coverage of an industrial site with a small number of antennas while ensuring redundancy in case of failure. Installation is more cost-effective and straightforward than wired alternatives. Devices can operate on battery power with an estimated lifetime of approximately 5 years.

DATIVE's industrial cybersecurity activities are joining N-CyP, the new 100% cybersecurity subsidiary of the Gérard Perrier Industrie Group. This merger enables comprehensive support across the entire cybersecurity lifecycle (SOC, CSIRT, architectures). Concurrently, DATIVE is refocusing its solutions on IIoT and industrial performance optimization.
