In the context of the supply chain, a compressor refers to a mechanical device used to increase the pressure of a gas or air. Compressors play a crucial role in various supply chain operations, particularly in industries such as manufacturing, transportation, and logistics. They are utilized to power pneumatic tools, operate refrigeration systems, facilitate air compression in storage tanks, and support other applications requiring compressed air or gas. Compressors help enhance efficiency, productivity, and safety in supply chain activities by enabling the effective handling and transportation of goods.
