This paper developed an application for a foundry enterprise to reduce the delay in
fixing identified air leaks and decrease energy consumption in the compressed-air systems. In
many instances, air leaks were detected, but the response towards correcting them is usually less
expeditious by the various departments responsible. Perhaps, there is a lack of awareness about
the opportunities to conserve energy either through prompt repairs of air leaks or by regulating
the pressure setting to match demand per time. An energy analysis application was developed
using Matlabยฎ. It facilitated increased response to repairs of air leaks and improved supplydemand
management of output pressures from compressed-air system
