The smallest compressor controller in the Elektronikon® range

The Elektronikon® Nano™ is a compressor controller that allows remote control and provides real-time alerts and clear insights for improved compressor performance.

The Nano™ is the smallest controller in our Elektronikon® range and features advanced control algorithms that maximize compressor performance and efficiency. It offers remote control and monitoring through the SMARTLINK app and is the only controller that allows over-the-air updates. The Nanoᵀᴹ is now available for G 15L-22 compressors and offered for other models in the G range (G2-5, G7-15).

The Nano™ features an over-the-air update system for continuous improvement, advanced control algorithms including the energy-saving Delayed Second Stop, and state-of-the-art cybersecurity measures like X.509 certificate-based authentication and TLS 1.2 encrypted communication.

What are Over-the-Air Updates?

Elektronikon® Nano™ controller connects to factory

Over-the-air updates are a wireless way for devices to receive improvements to their software. They eliminate the need for manual updates and can improve device performance and security. End users no longer need to connect their devices manually to a computer to update their devices. The new software is transmitted through Wi-Fi or mobile broadband, and the user can install updates immediately.

Compressors equipped with controllers that have advanced connectivity can receive these updates. Users should demand that their manufacturers follow the highest

Compressors equipped with controllers that have advanced connectivity can receive these updates. Users should demand that their manufacturers follow the highest cybersecurity standards. Atlas Copco uses advanced security measures like X.509 certificate-based authentication and Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 encrypted communication to secure their OTA updates, making compressor updates via OTA technology the future.
