A modern compressor control system does more than just turn the compressors on and off. It monitors pressure, power, and temperature in real time, predicts malfunctions, and coordinates multiple compressors so that the system always operates at its most efficient point.
SK Compressor Service supplies and installs the Kaeser SIGMA CONTROL 2 and the SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0: the smartest control systems for individual compressors as well as for complete compressed air systems. From remote monitoring to predictive maintenance and up to 30% energy savings.
SIGMA CONTROL 2

What is a compressor control system?
A compressor control system is an electronic controller that controls, monitors, and optimizes an industrial compressor or an entire compressed air system. The system regulates pressure, motor power, and the load cycle, stores fault data, and triggers alarms if a parameter falls outside the set limits.
Modern control systems such as the Kaeser SIGMA CONTROL 2 and the SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0 go beyond simple on/off control. They communicate with other operational systems via Ethernet, Modbus, and OPC-UA, enable predictive maintenance, and save an average of 10 to 30% in energy consumption in multi-compressor installations.
What are the advantages of a compressor control system?
SK Compressor Service supplies, installs, and maintains the entire control system, so you have a single partner for your entire compressed air system.

QUESTIONS ABOUT A compressor control system?
What is a compressor control system?
A compressor control system is an electronic controller that controls, monitors, and optimizes the compressor. It regulates pressure, power, and load, logs fault messages, and can read machine data remotely. Modern systems such as the Kaeser SIGMA CONTROL 2 save up to 30% in energy consumption thanks to an intelligent load control loop.
What is the difference between SIGMA CONTROL 2 and SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0?
The SIGMA CONTROL 2 is the control system for a single Kaeser compressor. The SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0 is an overarching management system that coordinates multiple compressors and dryers simultaneously. Together, they form a complete Industry 4.0 solution for the compressed air system.
How much energy can I save with a smart control system?
With the SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0, you can save an average of 10 to 30% in energy consumption in a multi-compressor system compared to a system without centralized coordination. The exact savings depend on the number of machines and the consumption profile.
Can I install a SIGMA AIR MANAGER on my existing system?
Yes. The SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0 is compatible with all compressors equipped with the SIGMA CONTROL 2 control system. SK Compressor Service will advise you on and install the system on your existing setup and connect all linked machines to the central platform.
What is predictive maintenance for a compressor?
Predictive maintenance means that the control system continuously analyzes sensor data and predicts malfunctions before they occur. The SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0 detects anomalies in pressure, temperature, and vibration in a timely manner, allowing you to schedule maintenance and prevent unexpected downtime.
Can I monitor my compressor remotely?
Yes. The SIGMA CONTROL 2 has a built-in web server that allows you to remotely read, configure, and monitor the compressor via an intranet or the Internet. With the SIGMA AIR MANAGER 4.0, you have an overview dashboard for the entire system, including energy consumption per machine and alarm history.
