+- Monitor key performance indicators like power consumption, temperature and pressure of the compressor.
+- Integrate additional sensing points into your assets like vibration for motor and bearings status control. 
+- Connect the compressor via Modbus TCP industry-standard protocol for optional integration to currently installed systems.
+- Leverage Arduino Cloud's powerful analytics to gain actionable insights into the compressor performance.
+- Create an Arduino Cloud dashboard that syncs in real time to inform and alert the user.
