Black Lily + Compressor Skid Controls: Automating Beyond the PLC
Black Lily Blog, by William Dorman, Founder of Black Lily. Technology · Mar 2026.
Your compressor skid controls handle the process. Black Lily automates everything above them, from runtime reporting and predictive maintenance to automated dispatch and compliance documentation.
