Smart Filter Monitoring
Change filters when your booths need it, not when the calendar says.
Smart Filter Monitoring reads every booth's airflow 24/7 and emails you when it's time.

The monitoring panel installed beside a booth.
Calendar changes either waste good filters or let dirty ones stop the booth
Throw away good filters
Changing on schedule even when filters still have life left. You buy, store and install more than the booths need.
Paint through dirty filters
A busy week loads filters early. Airflow drops, finishes suffer and the booth stops until fresh filters go in.
Booths don't load filters at the same rate. One schedule for every booth is wrong for most of them.
Changing too early: $32,500 a year across five booths
$250 average exhaust changeout per booth × 26 unneeded changeouts per booth, per year × 5 booths = $32,500 wasted a year ($6,500 per booth).
Example: 5 booths changed weekly when every 2 weeks would do (52 changeouts done, only 26 called for). Across common schedules, the waste runs $10,800 to $43,300 a year for 5 booths.
Changing too late: a stopped booth can cost $2,000 or more a day
Airflow carries overspray out of the booth. When filters load up, everything downstream suffers:
- Airflow through the booth drops as filters load up.
- Finish defects — dirt and overspray land in the paint.
- Rework — parts go back through the booth.
- The booth stops — no painting until new filters are in.
$2,000 a day is an example of lost production for one booth for one day; rework cost comes on top.
Every booth tells you exactly when its filters need changing
You decide what happens next. Here is a real reading history for one filter: it loads up over about two weeks, crosses the 0.20 email alert, and drops back to about 0.07 once fresh filters go in.
Portal history for one filter (daily maximum reading, weekdays). Alert email at 0.21; new filters brought it back to about 0.07.
How it works
STEP 1
We install it
Our technicians fit the panel and tubing on each booth.
STEP 2
It measures airflow, 24/7
The panel reads pressure across the filters around the clock.
STEP 3
It sends on its own cell connection
Never joins your Wi-Fi or plant network. No IT approval needed.
STEP 4
You see it in the portal
Every booth and every filter, live, from any computer. No software to install.
Every booth and every filter on one screen
- Every booth, every filter — intake, ceiling and exhaust, each with a live wc reading.
- Filter life at a glance — a bar shows how close each filter is to end of life.
- History on file — readings over any time range, which helps with EHS reporting.
At 0.20 wc you get an email, and nothing ships without your OK
Good · 0.05–0.10 wc
New filters. Full airflow.
Change soon · 0.20 wc
Change alert. You get an email.
Past due · 0.30 wc
Change now to protect the finish.
When a booth's filters are due, the alert email gives you three choices: decline filter replacement, accept filter replacement, or accept and schedule a technician to replace them. No auto-shipping. You keep one changeout's worth of filters on site, so a change can happen right away — or our technicians do it for you.
Every monitored booth delivers about $12,250 in value in its first year
Per booth, first year
$12,250+
Across 5 booths, first year
$61,250+
Every year after that
$48,750+
Examples: $250 changeouts, 10 minutes of gauge checks a day at $30/hour, one $2,000 shutdown day avoided.
That value is what you get back, not what you pay
- Your cost is a small fraction of it. The value is what monitoring saves you in filters, labor and downtime.
- Savings fund the program. The filters you stop wasting pay for monitoring.
- Pricing built for your booths. Talk to us and we'll show your exact cost and savings.
