AIR SAVE
Compressed Air Systems (CAS) are heavily exploited in industrial automation systems, due to various advantages of pneumatic actuator uses. However, industrial CAS have a low energy efficiency of around 10-20%. Compressed air (CA) leakages, which are the most rudimental form of faults and inefficiencies, amount to around 30% of the total available compressed air. CAS are typically only maintained a

AIR SAVE held its first Industrial Advisory Board Meeting since entering the Go-To-Market phase, together with our partner AIM Enterprises Ltd. ๐ญ
Representatives from Teva Malta, TOLY Products Ltd, Trelleborg, Methode Electronics Malta and STMicroelectronics attended the session to discuss the progress and future direction of our product. ๐ค
The feedback received was positive and the valuable suggestions shared will help ensure that AIR SAVEโs objectives continue to align with industrial market needs and expectations. This meeting further reflects the teamโs strong commitment towards developing a robust and industry-ready solution for sustainable compressed air systems. ๐
