Project Summary

X Platform employed to Airco System GmbH case: in response to end-user demands has been developed a cutting-edge system for independent gas production, including Nitrogen and Oxygen. The paramount features of AIRCO’s new product line are sustainability and long-term conservation.

When Corvina VPN is representing a distinctive feature

The Airco Group, a leading company in nitrogen and oxygen production, leveraged Corvina VPN to enhance their nitrogen self-production through digitization and networking. With over 27 years of experience, Airco collaborated with Corvina and Exor to introduce a new product line in 2021, which included nitrogen generators, storage, and control systems. These systems, featuring Exor's HMI and control solutions, enabled optimal hardware optimization, maximum system connectivity, and efficient resource distribution using renewable energy.

The integration of Corvina VPN allowed Airco to provide secure, high-speed remote connections, ensuring seamless maintenance and support. This innovation not only reduced hardware components but also facilitated autonomous, carbon-neutral nitrogen production, reinforcing Airco's commitment to sustainability and technological advancement.

“Initially, autonomous nitrogen production was our top priority. But over time, new potentials have emerged based on our technology. […] In the AIRCO Infinity Touch, we bundle the different protocols and provide them collectively to our customers via OPC UA or MQTT. Only with this open philosophy can we fully meet the requirements of a digital factory, thus saving essential resources.”
