A controller (5) for controlling a vacuum generator (3) in a vacuum system (10) for transportation of objects, which vacuum system (3) comprises a vacuum generator (3) driven by a compressed air flow via a first on/off valve (1), wherein the vacuum generator (3) via a vacuum chamber (11) being part of the vacuum system (10) is arranged to be brought in flow connection with the vacuum gripper means (6) comprised in the vacuum system (10), in order to supply vacuum to the vacuum gripper means (6) in result of the compressed air flow, wherein the vacuum system (10) comprises a second valve (2) arranged to supply compressed air into the vacuum system (10); a pressure sensor (4) for monitoring (21) a system pressure (P) inside the vacuum chamber (11); and a vacuum system controller (5), wherein the controller (5) is arranged to communicate with the first on/off valve (1), the second valve (2) and the pressure sensor and when the on/off valve (1) is not flowing air to the vacuum generator (3), and the controller (5) indicates a state of no vacuum generation, and if a fluctuation from a pressure-equilibrium to a negative time-derivative of the system-pressure (P) is detected, the controller is arranged to activate the second valve (2), allowing an amount of compressed air to flow into the vacuum-chamber (11) for compensation to re-establish the pressure-equilibrium.
