Illum niฤฤelebraw il-Jum Dinji tal-Inฤกinerija ๐ fejn nirrikonoxxu kif l-inฤกinerija tmexxi l-innovazzjoni, is-sostenibbiltร , u l-impatt li qed tฤงalli fid-dinja reali. ![]()

F’AIR SAVE, l-inฤกinerija tinsab fil-qalba taโ dak kollu li nagฤงmlu. Billi ngฤงaqqdu l-gฤงarfien espert fl-arja kkompressata mal-Industrija 4.0 u metodi intelliฤกenti bbaลผati fuq id-data, nindirizzaw waฤงda mill-akbar sfidi fl-industrija li spiss tiฤกi injorata: it-telf taโ enerฤกija fis-sistemi tal-arja kkompressata.![]()

Permezz taโ monitoraฤกฤก avvanzat u kontroll li jnaqqas il-ฤงsarat ๐, AIR SAVE jippermetti operazzjonijiet industrijali aktar effiฤjenti u sostenibbli ๐ฑ Dan inaqqas il-konsum tal-enerฤกija u l-emissjonijiet, filwaqt li jikseb sa 100% mitigazzjoni tat-telf ikkawลผat minn ฤงsarat, mingฤงajr ebda kompromess fuq il-prestazzjoni.
๐ Congratulations to our researcher, Dr Massimo Borg, on the successful completion of his Ph.D.!![]()
![]()
His research, โFault Monitoring and Control for Sustainable Compressed Air Systems,โ advances statistical methods to deliver intelligent, cost-effective solutions for detecting, diagnosing, and mitigating pneumatic faults. The work demonstrates significant reductions in fault-related compressed air consumption by up to 100%, while maintaining production performance, marking a major step forward for smart and sustainable industrial systems.๐ฑ![]()
