Take a proactive approach to water ingression with the market’s first connected and most accurate breather. Unlike any other breather on the market, our Des-case connected breathers eliminate the subjectivity of color-changing desiccant media. Our patent pending IsoLogic® Sensor Technology provides a precise measurement of the your breather’s life to eliminate replacing a breather too late or too soon.
- Shorten time-consuming, scheduled lube routes by collecting data on multiple breathers at the same time.
- Decrease the risk of workplace injuries by monitoring breathers installed on remote or hard-to-access equipment.
- View all breather statuses and trend data on the web platform from anywhere, anytime. All you need is the internet.
