AIoT Three-Level Capability Matrix: Enabling the Air Compressor Station to “Think for Itself”
1. Application Level – AI Algorithms for Intelligent Decision-Making
Value: Converts the air compressor station’s data model and expert knowledge into executable AI algorithms, enabling optimal operational strategies, energy efficiency, and adaptive system control.
2. Edge Level – Industrial Brain & Data Advisor
Value: Processes real-time data from local devices, performing on-the-spot optimization and control. Acts as the bridge between IoT-connected devices and the cloud platform, providing critical data for global energy efficiency optimization and predictive maintenance.
3. Perception Level – Nerve Endings for Signal Capture
Value: Precisely captures and inputs physical signals, delivering real-time data to the edge level and receiving execution commands. This drives on-site equipment actions and closes the loop in the “Perception–Decision–Execution” process.
