The below statement addresses the compliance of Connected Air Solutions® through iConn and Helix
IIoT devices with GDPR regulations and clarifies the data collection and usage practices.
Compliance with GDPR in Connected Air Solutions® Data Collection - Connected Air Solutions®
ensures full compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by adhering to strict data
collection and usage practices. It is important to note that GDPR primarily focuses on the collection

II.2 Security statements
iConn and Helix IIoT solutions prioritize the security and integrity of your data and systems. Here are
key points to understand:
No Access to Company Networks or Wi-Fi: iConn and Helix IIoT solutions are standalone devices and
do not have the capability to access your company network, computers, or Wi-Fi. They exclusively
rely on 2G/3G/4G mobile networks for communication.
Isolated Data Collection: These devices do not have the ability to access your customer's networks
either. They strictly collect machine data, including compressor and dryer measurements such as Flow
Rate, Pressure, Temperature, Current, Speed, Power, Voltage, Vibration, Frequency, Hours (Time),
Compressor/Dryer status, and alerts triggered by the Compressor/Dryer controller. None of this data
is considered sensitive.
Data Security: iConn and Helix devices are designed with robust security measures. They are
completely ring-fenced, meaning they can only collect data from the compressor's controller. They
do not have the capability to send data, and therefore, no external commands can be passed on to
the controller. This ensures that the controller cannot be affected, hacked, or remotely controlled
through the Connected Air Solutions® Remote Monitoring platform.
Protection against Malicious Actors: The security design of iConn and Helix solutions mitigates any
risk of malicious interference. Hackers cannot manipulate or control your compressor or production
through these devices, ensuring the safety and continuity of your operations.
The primary focus of iConn and Helix IIoT solutions is to provide secure, real-time monitoring and
data collection, offering peace of mind to users by safeguarding critical industrial processes and
systems.

V. Connected Air Solutions® platform Organizational Tree Standard Structure
The standard organizational structure of the Connected Air Solutions® platform consists of
ORGANIZATIONS and TEAMS.
These are the symbols used within What is an ORGANIZATION? An ORGANIZATION in the
the hierarchical tree to denote an Connected Air Solutions® platform functions as a central
ORGANIZATION and a TEAM. hub comprising standard folders and customer folders. It
serves as a place where you can access an overview of assets
and users across hierarchical sub-levels. Here, you can also
allocate Admin rights to users, providing administrative
privileges for all the Organizations and Teams nested within
the hierarchy.
What is a TEAM? A TEAM in the Connected Air Solutions® platform serves as a hub where you
can effectively manage users, allocate permissions and Admin rights specifically at the TEAM
hierarchical level, assign assets, and configure Alert forwarding settings for streamlined user and
asset management.
Below, you will find a typical hierarchical structure that we propose for managing your
ORGANIZATION as DISTRIBUTOR and your CUSTOMERS ORGANIZATIONS:
Distributors User Guide - Connected Air Solutions® - October 1st, 2023 32 / 109
V.1 The structure of an ORGANIZATION
To clarify the meaning of an ORGANIZATION in the Connected Air Solutions® platform, please
consider that:
Level 0: An ORGANIZATION at this level represents the equivalent of a distributor's main folder. It
serves as the highest level of organizational structure.
Level 1: Within this main ORGANIZATION folder (level 0), it is mandatory to maintain as standard
ORGANIZATION subfolders such as ALL ASSETS, CUSTOMERS and PENDING. These ORGANIZATION
subfolders help in organizing and categorizing assets and customer-related information efficiently.
Distributors User Guide - Connected Air Solutions® - October 1st, 2023 33 / 109
V.2 The structure of a TEAM
A TEAM a directory type at the lowest level within an ORGANIZATION, and it can only be created
within an ORGANIZATION. It is denoted by the color yellow in the image below.
A TEAM serves as the space within an ORGANIZATION where you can efficiently manage users,
allocate permissions, assign assets, and configure Alert Forwarding settings (alert e-mail
notifications). Within a TEAM, you have the ability to perform the following actions:
Allocate permissions for users, differentiating between those from your company (Company Internal
Users) and customers (CustomerPlus). For specific permission details, refer to the Permission Groups
chapter.
Configure alert-forwarding settings, enabling the addition of recipients who can choose their
preferences regarding receiving all alarms or selecting alarms based on criticality levels (Error,
Warning, and Info). For detailed information on configuring alarms, refer to the alarms section.

VI. Admin – User Management
VI.a Admin – User Management - ORGANIZATIONS
Asset Grouping: It allows for the grouping of assets on organizational criteria. This aids in easy asset
identification and management.
User Management: ORGANIZATION directories often enable Executives to assign specific users or
user groups to designated folders, granting them access and permissions relevant to their roles within
that organizational unit.
Access Control: ORGANIZATION directories can have unique access control settings, ensuring that
only authorized personnel can view or manipulate assets and data within that specific folder.
Data Organization: Data collected or generated by assets within a folder can be organized and stored
within an ORGANIZATION directory, making it easier to retrieve and analyze data relevant to a
particular region, province, zone, area, group of customers etc.
Reporting and Analysis: The ORGANIZATION directory structure can facilitate the generation of
reports and data analysis specific to an organization, enabling insights and decision-making tailored
to that entity.
Security and Privacy: The ORGANIZATION directory structure helps in maintaining the security and
privacy of data by limiting access to authorized users and ensuring that sensitive information is
segregated appropriately.
Customization: Executives can often customize folder names, descriptions, and attributes to align
with their organizational structure and naming conventions.
If your ORGANIZATION and your customers ORGANIZATIONS have created in the previous portal,
your directory structure, users, assets and alarms notifications settings were imported into the new
Connected Air Solutions® portal. Please make sure you verify the imported groups (ORGANIZATIONS
and TEAMS) and contact EMEIA IR IoT support in case something is not clear to you.
The standard of ORGANIZATIONS and assets TEAMS from the old portal will apply also into the new
Connected Air Solutions® portal. That means each Distributor will continue to add new assets, users,
folders (TEAMS and ORGANIZATIONS), customers, alarms forwarding recipients over the imported
data from the old portal.
Distributors User Guide - Connected Air Solutions® - October 1st, 2023 39 / 109
VI.a.1 Admin – User Management – standard naming for an ORGANIZATION
The required format for a Distributor ORGANIZATION is depicted in the image below. We kindly
request that you adhere to this structure and refrain from making any alterations to your
ORGANIZATION's configuration.
Following this prescribed format ensures consistency and facilitates efficient management of assets
and data within the platform. Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining this standardized
structure.
Into the new Connected Air Solutions® portal, each distributor folder is designated as
ORGANIZATION. The naming convention for these folders follows the format:
DISTRIBUTOR NAME – Country ISO code-2", for example:
“DISTRIBUTOR NAME – UK"
"DISTRIBUTOR NAME – FR"
"DISTRIBUTOR NAME – ES"
This standardized naming format ensures clarity and consistency in identifying distributor
organizations within the portal, with each name reflecting the distributor's name and the
corresponding ISO country code-2 for their location.
1. ALL ASSETS: This section serves as a repository for all your assets, presented in a list format. We
strongly recommend against creating additional Organizations or Teams within the "ALL ASSETS"
section. Instead, allocate your devices directly to appear in this list.
Into the new Connected Air Solutions® portal, the ALL ASSETS directory becomes redundant. For
now, it is there until you decide how you organize in the future.
The ALL ASSETS directory was used in the old portal to setup the alerts notifications to redirect to
distributors’ e-mail address all the alert email notification from all the assets they manage. Into the
new Connected Air Solutions® portal, the alerts forwarding setup has been simplified. If you decide
that the ALL ASSETS is no longer needed, please make sure the assets are allocated to the
CUSTOMERS folder first and contact IoT support to perform this sensitive deletion of ALL ASSETS
ORGANIZATION directory.
Distributors User Guide - Connected Air Solutions® - October 1st, 2023 40 / 109
2. CUSTOMERS: In the CUSTOMERS section, the Executives have the flexibility to create multiple
customer-specific ORGANIZATIONS and TEAMS as needed. Each customer's ORGANIZATION should
be named after the customer itself. Within these customer ORGANIZATIONS, you can allocate to the
assets TEAMS the customer's assets, customers users and set up alarm forwarding by adding
designated recipients who will receive email notifications for alarms.
3. PENDING: As an Executive, part of your responsibility is to inform EMEIA IR IoT support and request
asset allocation to the PENDING folder for newly installed iConn or Helix devices. Whenever you
commission a compressor that includes a factory-fitted iConn or Helix device, or when you install a
retrofit iConn or Helix, please promptly notify EMEIA IR IoT support for the allocation of the new asset
to your PENDING folder.
Once the asset is allocated to the PENDING folder, your next step is to assign it to the relevant
Customers ORGANIZATION directory. Ideally, the PENDING folder should remain empty, so it is
essential to periodically clean up this folder by completing the allocation process for new assets. This
organizational structure ensures efficient asset management and allocation within the platform,
facilitating a streamlined process for Distributors while maintaining an organized and up-to-date asset
list. In addition, for each new customer you administrate, you need to create a new ORGANIZATION
directory, placed into the CUSTOMERS ORGANIZATION directory.

or access rights that are assigned to particular user roles or categories within the platform's
ecosystem. It is important to note that these Permission groups cannot be modified by the
Executives; they are the responsibility of the IoT support team. These Permission groups serve the
vital purpose of facilitating and managing access control, ensuring that users possess the necessary
permissions to carry out their tasks, all while upholding security and data integrity.
In essence, Permission groups define what actions or operations users within those groups are
allowed to perform within the Connected Air Solutions® platform. For example, the Executives have
extensive permissions to manage the assets, while Customer is limited only to the visualization of
assets. These Permission Groups simplify user management, enhance security, and facilitate efficient
platform administration by organizing users into logical categories with consistent access privileges.
Executive
Applies to: Distributor or Direct team person(s) delegated by their organization to manage
assets, customers’ folders, users and alerts notifications setup.

their ORGANIZATIONS and TEAMS. They will manage Alerts forwarding notifications for the company
they belong to and for the customers they manage.
Data Security: the Executives ensures the security and privacy of data associated with the
ORGANIZATIONS and TEAMS assets. Assets should be always allocated to their customers TEAMS and
ORGANIZATIONS and a customer should always see only the his own assets, nothing more than that.
Distributors User Guide - Connected Air Solutions® - October 1st, 2023 65 / 109
Training and Support: the Executives should provide guidance and support to group members
regarding asset usage and platform features. This includes addressing user inquiries, resolving issues,
and facilitating training as needed. If an Executive is departing from the company or temporarily
unavailable, it is important for them to ensure a smooth transfer of knowledge to a colleague.
Reporting and Analysis: the Executives may generate reports and analyze data related to their
ORGANIZATION assets. This can help in identifying trends, optimizing asset utilization, and making
informed decisions.
Collaboration: the Executives should collaborate with IR IoT support to identify and fix potential
problems and within the organization, with his colleagues, to coordinate asset-related activities,
share insights, and implement best practices.

Executives may assess the impact of these changes on asset management within their
ORGANIZATION and adapt their practices accordingly.
Documentation: Keeping records and documentation related to asset management activities, user
permissions, and access controls is important for accountability and future reference.
Accidental data deletion can be a critical issue within any data management system. When it occurs,
it often falls under the responsibilities of the Executives to address and resolve. The Executive plays
a crucial role in overseeing and maintaining the integrity of his ORGANIZATION data. Responsibilities
typically include:
Data Recovery: When data is inadvertently deleted, the Executive may be tasked with initiating the
re-creation procedures of the ORGANIZATION structure.
Preventative Measures: the Executive often work to implement safeguards and preventive measures
to minimize the risk of data deletion incidents.
Investigation: Based on the Audit logs, the Executive will determine to verify the logic of allocating
permissions to his users and in case one of the users he manage deleted assets or ORGANIZATIONS
and TEAMS, he will be responsible to re-create the initial structure.
Communication: It is important for the Executive to communicate with affected users and internally
with their managers regarding the accidental deletion, its impact, and any steps being taken to
mitigate the situation. In addition, the Executive should contact the EMEIA IR IoT support to report
the incident.
Documentation: Keeping records of data deletion incidents, recovery efforts, and preventative

Connected Air Solutions® platform is an essential step in defining the user's access rights and
responsibilities within the platform. Permission groups determine what actions the user can perform,
what data they can access, and which features they can use.
If you are creating an account for one of your colleagues within the same company, you can assign
them Company Internal User Permission Rights, which offer the same level of rights as
CustomerPlus. We introduced the Company Internal User Permission Group to clearly define the
rights of such users. A colleague from the same company cannot be labeled as a Customer, so the
Company Internal User designation is more appropriate. These users will have only viewing rights
and will not interfere with the work of the Executives.

recommend. Such actions may lead to problems within your folder structure and assets, potentially
causing issues for your customers and organization. If you allocate Permission Groups for a user to
