We are launching advanced devices that set new standards in screw compressor control.
A Breakthrough in Screw Compressor Control
MIKROEL Controllers, in collaboration with numerous experts, compressor manufacturers, and end users, has developed a new series of controllers: XAIR Line. These are advanced devices that set new standards in screw compressor control. They were created to provide universal, intuitive, and user-friendly solutions that can be adapted to virtually any oil-lubricated screw compressor.
XAIR Line – The Result of Industry Collaboration
The XAIR Line series is the result of intensive collaboration between MIKROEL Controllers and compressor manufacturers, service providers, universities, and end users. Understanding market needs and engaging in direct consultations with experts made it possible to create a product that addresses the most critical challenges related to compressor operation and maintenance. Research clearly showed that users expect intuitive solutions, similar to smartphone interfaces, that are user-friendly not only for engineers but also for individuals without specialized technical knowledge.
Built-in Webserver
One of the key advantages of the XAIR Line series is the built-in Integrated Remote Monitoring and Diagnostics System for Compressors. This advanced system allows for remote monitoring of the compressor regardless of the user’s location. Users can track compressor operation status in real time, receive alerts about possible errors or warnings, and access comprehensive analysis tools.
What makes the new line innovative? The Webserver is hosted directly on the controller, eliminating the need to send data to external clouds owned by compressor manufacturers. As a result, data does not need to be processed or transmitted back to the user’s infrastructure. This solution is crucial for cybersecurity, as it allows the entire visualization to remain within the end user’s internal IT infrastructure. The controller also offers the possibility of integration with SCADA systems and optional cloud systems. This increases its versatility and enables implementation of solutions tailored to the client’s specific needs, in line with the communication standards of Industry 4.0.

Exceptionally Intuitive Operation
The new controllers stand out with exceptional user comfort, combining advanced technical solutions with intuitive operation. Despite the complexity of the functions, usage is remarkably pleasant, and complicated operations become easy to perform—even without referring to the manual. The designers focused on creating a system that mirrors the simplicity of mobile applications, making access to advanced functions straightforward.
The new controller presents all content in the form of descriptions and comments, which greatly simplifies usage. As a result, even less experienced users can easily operate the device, and the need to consult the manual is limited to more advanced features. The controller also offers the ability to personalize settings such as display brightness, screensaver configuration, unit selection, date and time format, and a wide choice of languages, ensuring additional user comfort.
In all tests, users gave the highest ratings for intuitive operation—even during the most complex processes and configurations.
Work Schedule and Autorestart Functions
XAIR Line controllers feature a built-in work schedule calendar, allowing precise planning of compressor operation, both for recurring events and one-time occurrences such as maintenance work or holidays. Additionally, the automatic restart function ensures production continuity even in the event of unexpected interruptions, an essential feature for companies with continuous production profiles.
Compressor Network Control
Controllers from the XAIR Line series offer master/slave control functions, enabling management of a network of two to six compressors. Thanks to the built-in Webserver, users have full visibility of all compressors in the system, greatly simplifying the management and optimization of the entire setup.
Hybrid Solutions
One of the main reasons why the XAIR Line is so universal lies in its hybrid nature, combining the features of a dedicated controller with those of a PLC-class controller. This hybrid approach allows full configuration of both analog and digital inputs and outputs, enabling the controller to be tailored to the specific needs of each compressor. The flexibility of this solution means that XAIR Line can support over 90% of compressors available on the market, making it an ideal tool for service providers.
The XAIR Line system is an advanced technological platform offering intuitive, modern controllers and a wide range of solutions that provide a significant competitive advantage for manufacturers, service providers, and distributors in the compressed air industry.
