Festo - SFAM
Measuring multiple values
Because the SFAM is a pressure and flow sensor in one, machines need only one component to measure multiple values. By measuring compressed air pressure, flow and consumption, among others, the SFAM provides full insight into the compressed air system. This insight is the first step in a more economical, safe and sustainable system.
Insight into air consumption provides opportunities to optimise maintenance and save on energy. Many pneumatic components are subject to wear and tear. As a result, air consumption will increase over time. Data on consumption and performance of machines provide a clear picture of actions that can be taken to keep producing efficiently.
Consumption
Wherever components and parts move, there is friction. This friction produces wear, causing leaks to increase over time. Also, seals are never 100% airtight; this causes leaks, even at standstill. To gain insight into this, consumption is often measured over a short period of time.
To get a complete picture of air consumption, it is important not to include irrelevant data in the assessment.
Coffee breaks, tool changes or breakdowns?
All examples where the duration can vary and disrupt the data considerably.
The SFAM is the all-in-one sensor
Simple connection
Via IO-Link, data from SFAM can be easily collected and connected to other components and platforms.
Modular
SFAM is modular to fit into MS air conditioning platforms of new and existing machines.

Eneco - Green light for green electricity and steamRead moreEneco Bio Golden Raand, located in the port area of Delfzijl, converts biomass into green electricity and green steam. Each year, the plant processes approximately 300,000 tons of waste wood from the Netherlands and neighboring countries. As part of Eneco’s climate ambitions, a project began in 2022 to replace the existing fluorescent lighting in and around the boiler room. The project was carried out under the supervision of itsme. “Two factors were important in this process: the cost, of course, but also the level of service.”
