Challenge

Avoiding downtime and maintaining a stable power supply are top priorities for the food and beverage industry to maximize productivity. However, manual inspection of medium- and low-voltage power distribution and control systems is time-consuming and unreliable.

Solution

There’s a better solution: Use communication-capable devices that reliably report their device status and operating state to higher-level systems, preventing failures and increasing availability.

Monitor power distribution systems

To identify optimization potential, increase availability, save OpEx costs and improve maintenance schedules; you need to automatically monitor the condition of devices in the field. Our predictive maintenance solution using Siemens Xcelerator:

  • Enables real-time monitoring of data and key performance indicators across electrical assets
  • Provides conditon monitoring with remote access to the health status of connected installations
  • Optimizes maintenance schedules while reducing manual workload and associated risks
