In this episode of Beyond Compression - An FS-Elliott University Podcast, we explore one of the most misunderstood and undervalued components of your compressed air system: the control panel.

From outdated manual switches to modern, intelligent controllers, we explore why upgrading your compressor control system isn’t just a “nice-to-have,” but a critical step toward achieving higher efficiency, greater reliability, and next-level visibility in your plant operations.

Join our host, Barbara Myers, and guest Tom Nist, as they break down:

• A brief evolution of compressor control systems
• The hidden costs and risks of running outdated controls
• How modern controllers unlock higher performance and real energy savings
• The top warning signs your compressor controls are overdue for an upgrade
• The game-changing impact of data, automation, and remote monitoring on air system efficiency

Whether you're working with aging infrastructure or planning your next system upgrade, this episode will arm you with practical insights on bringing your compressed air controls into the future, without breaking the bank.

Because better control doesn’t just optimize your air, it transforms your bottom line.
