Hundred years of industry, wisdom in innovation - MANN+HUMMEL deep in the new era of the Internet industry

In recent years, with the large-scale application of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and Internet of things, the digital economy is growing into a new industry with huge potential, and it has also become a new kinetic energy for global economic development. Under the new development trend of the digital economy, more and more traditional industries and fields are undergoing different levels of intelligent upgrades, and a new era of connected industries is already open!

Of course, the filtration industry is no exception. Over the years, MANN+HUMMEL, a global filtration expert, has been immersed in the field of digitalization. Following the establishment of the global Internet of Things laboratory in 2016, MANN+HUMMEL has launched a new set of digital products that incorporate innovative technologies such as sensing, applications, and data. Let the filter become smart from now on. At the CES 2018 show, MANN+HUMMEL focused on the first time to demonstrate its digital cutting-edge filtering solutions and products in industrial equipment, electric vehicles, and construction applications. Among them, Senzit won the “CES 2018 Innovation Award” for its unique advantages in design, quality, intended use and user value, and demonstrated the extraordinary strength of MANN+HUMMEL in digitization.

MANN+HUMMEL Air Filter Monitor - Senzit

Due to the lack of real-time monitoring technology in traditional factories, engine maintenance costs and equipment downtime have caused it to become more and more expensive. Therefore, the protection of the engine is the primary concern of most fleet managers.

MANN+HUMMEL Air Filter Monitor - Senzit

Senzit, the world’s first smart air filtration monitor, introduced by MANN+HUMMEL provides a new way to monitor the status of air filters, which can effectively reduce downtime and maintenance costs.

With real-time monitoring capabilities, Senzit can track the running time of each connected vehicle, allowing users to understand the service life of their air filters and prepare for maintenance in advance. At the same time, Senzit can monitor the air filter status of each device in real time and reduce unnecessary filter maintenance. Operators, machinists and heavy fleet managers can quickly view the service needs of the entire fleet through the Senzit mobile and portal, eliminating the need to personally inspect the air filter to determine its status, making it easy to use.

Senzit can not only monitor the air filter, but also GPS technology can track the daily activities of the equipment and help users to track the equipment. It is installed in the air filter housing to collect receipts and then transmit the data to the cloud through the cellular network, so that almost any vehicle can be connected to the cloud, and even older vehicles can be monitored in real time.

Similar to the material and durability of the air filter housing, Senzit's hardware is made of 10 sensors, as well as high-performance, injection-molded thermoplastics. The surface is rugged, reliable and smooth, making it suitable for use in extreme environments. The product's innovative design and cutting-edge engineering technology have earned it the prestigious CES 2018 Innovation Award.

MANN+HUMMEL Smart Air Conditioning Filtration System - FreciousSmart

Electric cars are playing an increasingly important role in people's lives, and the warming and cooling of the air in the car will run out of batteries and reduce the power to power the vehicles. Therefore, in addition to ensuring the cleanliness of the air inside the vehicle, the challenge for electric vehicles is how to increase their mileage. MANN+HUMMEL's newly introduced FreciousSmart intelligent air-conditioning filtration system not only purifies air in the vehicle to protect vehicle users, but also extends the range of electric vehicles. In areas with high temperatures and poor air quality, battery life can be extended by 50 kilometers.

MANN+HUMMEL Smart Air Conditioning Filtration System - FreciousSmart

FreciousSmart intelligent air conditioning filter system can make the air conditioning system in the car mainly in the recycling mode, saving energy. Throughout the working process, the sensors continuously monitor the air quality in the outside world and inside the car, and measure the carbon dioxide concentration, relative humidity, and particle concentration in the car. If the car's carbon dioxide concentration exceeds 0.1% of the critical value, the outside air intake increases. . The outside air sensor determines the required filtering quality and determines the amount of fresh air entering the vehicle based on the degree of contamination of particles and contaminants in the air, and continues to ensure the cleanliness of the air in the vehicle.

It is worth mentioning that, under different traffic conditions, such as tunnels, traffic jams or normal traffic, FreciousSmart system can automatically provide clean air to vehicle users through three filtering stages, and minimize energy consumption.

When the traffic conditions are normal, that is, the outside air quality is good, the FreciousSmart system is in a recirculation mode, which can filter coarse particles inside and outside the car, such as PM10, allergens and pollen. When the outside air is slightly polluted, the FreciousSmart system will enter the second In phases, PM2.5 can effectively intercept PM2.5 and other odors and harmful gases such as nitrogen dioxide, ozone, formaldehyde, ammonia, etc. When the outside air is polluted, such as walking through a tunnel or encountering traffic congestion, the FreciousSmart system immediately enters. In the third stage, the HEPA filter is activated. The filter can separate ultra-fine particles with a size of less than 0.1 micron, providing superior protection of the ambient air quality.

MANN+HUMMEL Indoor Air Filtration Solutions - OurAir

At present, people all over the world are suffering from increasingly serious air pollution. More than 90% of the population lives in areas where the level of air pollution exceeds the limits of the World Health Organization (WHO). Although people spend most of their time indoors, allergens, bacteria, formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds, and other pollutants cause indoor pollution to be even worse than outdoor. Effective indoor air quality control is particularly important. In this regard, MANN+HUMMEL combines its world-class professional filtration technology with new intelligent sensing technology to launch a comprehensive indoor air filtration solution OurAir.

MANN+HUMMEL Indoor Air Filtration Solutions - OurAir

In the case of poor air quality, OurAir's high-quality air-conditioning filters and indoor air purification systems can effectively remove harmful substances in the air, provide clean air, and optimize energy costs. This set of air solutions can help control the surrounding air quality and have a positive impact on people's health.

Based on IoT technology, OurAir can provide intelligent air management solutions for managers of commercial, residential and industrial buildings such as schools, hotels, and office buildings. The solution can measure the ambient air quality in real time according to different pollution parameters, providing both inside and outside the building. The latest report on air pollution, managers can use air quality management platform to manage the air quality of several different locations in real time to achieve remote operation. Not only that, OurAir will also be presented in the service platform (PaaS) mode. If necessary, you can use this solution to provide your customers with intelligent air management services.

In addition, MANN+HUMMEL's digital filtration solutions and new product portfolio include: FAAST solutions that can provide personalized filtration service interval calculations for connected cars, AirPulse air that can track the operation status of home air conditioning systems and order replacement products. Purifiers, as well as interior air conditioner filters that can monitor the status of filters and monitor other harmful substances such as molds and carbon monoxide based on the Internet of Things technology.

The digital economy is the future of the world economy and it is an irreversible trend.
