Smart Pneumatics & Predictive Maintenance.

The Camozzi smart range turns silent components into data sources. Every coil, regulator, and sensor publishes live to UVIX cloud. You stop discovering faults at 02:00 and start seeing them in office hours.

SAIEE case study
R 2.9 M

Annual electricity saving from one compressed-air control retrofit at a SA gold mine.

Eskom evening peak
1.25 MW

Peak load shaved off the same site's compressor demand profile during evening tariff windows.

Now, at 2026 tariffs
2-3×

Multiplier on those numbers if the same retrofit ran on today's PGM concentrator electricity bill.

What's in the range

Four building blocks. One dashboard.

Each item is genuinely smart — embedded electronics, IO-Link or wireless backhaul, native UVIX integration. Buy one for a single line, scale to a plant later.

Series D

Valve island with CoilVision

Modular pneumatic valve island. Each coil reports current draw, response time, switching count, and temperature — flagging worn coils, sticking spools, and hot-running solenoids before they fail.

  • Click-to-actuate via UVIX Manual Mode (no PLC required)
  • Up to 32 stations per island
  • Profinet, EtherCAT, IO-Link gateways
  • Diagnostics down to individual coil level

Series PRE

Proportional pressure regulator

Closed-loop pressure control in software. Sets, reads, and reports actual line pressure live. Replaces mechanical regulators where setpoints need to change per recipe or batch.

  • 0–10 bar control range, 0.1% accuracy
  • 4–20 mA / 0–10 V / IO-Link interfaces
  • CoilVision-equipped — fully observable
  • Drop-in replacement for legacy mechanical regulators

Series FSX

Flow + dewpoint sensors

Compressed-air flow and dewpoint measurement on the same instrument. Quantify what your air dryer actually does — and prove it on a continuous record, not a once-a-year audit.

  • Flow + temperature + pressure + dewpoint in one
  • UVIX cloud streaming as standard
  • Sized for plant headers and machine-side legs
  • Energy-audit ready — kWh per Nm³ baseline

UVIX

Cloud monitoring platform

Browser-based dashboard, native mobile views, configurable alerts. The same platform Camozzi customers in Italy and Germany use — accessible to your maintenance team on a phone.

  • No PLC code changes required to start
  • Per-asset, per-line, per-plant rollups
  • Email / SMS / Teams alerting
  • Historical data export (CSV / JSON / API)

How it fits together

Start small. Scale at your own pace.

You don't need to gut your plant to go smart. The four building blocks each work standalone — and stack into a complete asset-monitoring system as you go.

Step 1

Instrument one line

Drop-in a Series D island and an FSX flow sensor on a problematic line. Connect to UVIX in an afternoon. See data the next shift.

Step 2

Add proportional control

Where you have variable-pressure recipes or batch changeovers, drop in a Series PRE. Setpoints follow the SCADA without retrofitting field instruments.

Step 3

Roll out across the plant

Once the first line proves out, the playbook is repeatable. UVIX rolls up — line, area, plant — without re-architecting.

Where it earns its keep

Highest-value applications in our market.

Smart pneumatics aren't equally valuable everywhere. These are the four South African industries where the maths consistently works.

Mining

Compressor-air audits routinely find 25–40% loss to leaks and mis-set regulators. UVIX makes that loss visible and fixable.

Packaging FMCG

High-cycle valves are the #1 unplanned-downtime cause. CoilVision flags failing coils 1,000 cycles before they stick.

Food & Beverage

Dewpoint excursions are a HACCP risk. FSX gives you the continuous proof-of-air-quality record auditors actually want.

Life Sciences

Recipe-driven pressure control + traceable sensor data = qualification-grade air. Series PRE + UVIX is purpose-built for this.
