Atenea 36
Project Overview
Year
About
Atenea 36 optimises the performance of industrial compressors by using real-time sensors and intelligent algorithms to stabilise pressure, reduce energy peaks, and minimise unnecessary equipment cycling. Designed for medium-sized factories, it lowers electricity consumption, extends compressor lifespan, and cuts maintenance costs, transforming one of manufacturing’s most inefficient systems into a source of energy savings. Currently deployed in working plants, Atenea 36 offers a scalable, cost-effective path to more sustainable and efficient industrial operations
