Electrical Continuity

The current industry trend is the search for greater productivity, optimizing the operation time and production processes to generate competitiveness. To achieve these objectives it is necessary to implement automatic process control. To achieve this, it is necessary to obtain data from the production process, in order to analyze them to make control decisions with the support of technology.

According to Deloitte's annual study Automation with intelligence 2022, 74% of 479 companies surveyed have implemented robotic automation in their processes. Similarly, more than 87% have accelerated their investment in cloud-hosted automation services in the last year.

With this in mind, the continuity of process control is critical in a number of industrial areas. However, the equipment used in these areas is often subject to adverse environments; therefore, it is necessary to have an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for industrial application, accompanied by a monitoring system that allows greater control of the production process and ensures the highest possible quality.

An example of how these objectives can be achieved is BASF, a chemical company. At the time of the creation of its electrical substation in Texas, it partnered with Schneider Electric for the implementation of EcoStruxure Asset Advisor, to obtain the ability to anticipate and resolve problems before they become serious incidents, mitigating safety risks and avoiding unplanned downtime, operational losses and costly maintenance interventions.

With the Industry 4.0 approach to business automation, it is necessary to ensure a quality power supply that not only guarantees electrical continuity, but also manages to streamline the production process and provide self-diagnostic capabilities.
