Data Loggers / Displays / IoT for Compressed Air Monitoring
Real-Time Monitoring, Logging & Smart Connectivity
Installing multiple measuring devices in a compressed air and gas system requires a powerful on site data logger. It collects key values such as flow, pressure, temperature, and humidity, and records them continuously to keep the system under control at all times.
SUTO iTEC displays and data loggers are the central hub of your monitoring setup. They show live readings, send notifications, connect seamlessly to SCADA, and act as a gateway to bring analog sensor signals into the digital world.
SUTO iTEC Displays and Data Loggers
SUTO iTEC offers stationary and portable displays and data loggers for compressed air and gas monitoring. IoT gateways and sensor connectivity link measurement data to SCADA, PLC, or cloud systems for alarms and analysis.
Why Displays, Data Loggers and IoT Are Essential
Easily Understand, Analyze and Use Your Measurement Data
The right data logger does more than just record values — it collects, stores and makes measurement data available for analysis, alarms and audits. On-site displays allow quick visualization, diagnosis and informed decision-making directly where the action happens.
Seamless Integration into Modern Systems
With standardized interfaces (e.g. Modbus/RTU, Modbus/TCP) and IoT connectivity, data can be integrated directly into SCADA or cloud-based monitoring solutions. This means your systems are ready for Industry 4.0 requirements and offer maximum transparency regarding energy and performance indicators.
Benefits for Your Compressed Air Management
- Real-time values & alarm management: Keep an eye on all relevant system parameters at all times. Live measured values and freely configurable alarms allow you to react quickly to deviations directly on site.
- Flexible integration: Simply connect SUTO iTEC sensors as well as third-party sensors, higher-level software solutions or cloud portals. Standardized protocols ensure seamless system integration. Find out more about our software solutions.
- Scalable data logging: Log large amounts of data reliably over long periods of time. The recorded measured values form the basis for well-founded analyses, meaningful reporting and standard-compliant energy audits.
Typical Applications for Displays and Data Loggers
Displays and data loggers are used wherever measurement data must be visible on site and analyzable over the long term:
- Monitor compressed air networks: Making flow, pressure and consumption in the network transparent
- Optimize compressor stations: Understanding utilization and efficiency, identifying load profiles
- Analyze production lines: Compare consumption of individual machines and processes
- Protect critical consumers: Detect deviations early, use alarms directly on site
- Carry out energy audits: Creating a data basis for efficiency analyses and ISO 50001/ISO 11011
- Permanent or temporary measurement: Fixed monitoring or measurement campaign for audits and optimizations

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
SUTO iTEC displays and data loggers offer standardized Modbus/RTU and analogue sensor inputs. However, they also offer data interfaces such as Modbus/RTU and Modbus/TCP to send the data to application software. In addition, integrated IoT interfaces allow the data loggers to connect directly to cloud-based monitoring solutions using standard protocols, making them ready for Industry 4.0.
We have summarized all relevant information and questions about data loggers and displays for compressed air measuring devices below.
What is the purpose of a data logger in compressed air systems
A data logger continuously records measured values such as flow rate, consumption, pressure, temperature, dew point or humidity and stores them over defined periods of time. This creates a seamless database that operators can use to analyse load profiles, detect energy losses, assess leaks and optimize the efficiency of their compressed air system in a targeted manner. Data loggers are also essential for audits, documentation and energy reports in accordance with ISO standards.
What is the difference between a display and a data logger?
A display is primarily used to visualization of measured values in real time directly on site. A data logger goes beyond this and stores the measurement data permanentlytime histories and makes them available for analysis or external systems. Combined devices from SUTO iTEC unite both functions and also act as a gateway for data transmission.
Which parameters can be measured
SUTO iTEC displays and data loggers support a wide range of measured variables, including flow, consumption, pressure, temperature, dew point, humidity, compressor status and other analog or digital signals. This allows complete compressed air systems with several measuring points to be monitored centrally.
Which sensors can be connected?
The devices support both SUTO iTEC sensors and many third-party sensors. The connection is made via standardized interfaces such as Modbus RTU, Modbus TCP or analogue 4-20 mA signals. This means that existing measurement concepts are retained and can be flexibly expanded.
How many measured values can be saved?
Depending on the device, the data loggers have very large internal memories that can store up to 100 million measured values can record. This makes long-term data storage possible without any problems, even with short measurement intervals – ideal for trend analyses, long-term comparisons and detailed reports.
How is the data evaluated and processed?
The stored measurement data can be visualized directly on the device, transferred to SCADA systems via an interface or integrated into higher-level software and cloud solutions. This allows dashboards, energy reports or automatic evaluations to be created centrally.
Are the systems suitable for Industry 4.0 and IoT?
Yes, SUTO iTEC displays and data loggers act as intelligent gateways that convert analog measurement signals into digital data. This data can be securely transmitted to cloud platforms or central monitoring systems via IoT-capable protocols, thus forming the basis for Industry 4.0 concepts.
How is the installation and commissioning carried out?
The devices are designed for industrial use and can be easily integrated into existing systems. Thanks to plug-and-play concepts, many sensors are ready for immediate use. Configuration is intuitive via the integrated touchscreen or PC-based software.
