Excess heat can become a safety
hazard, but thermal condition
monitoring can help to identify and
prevent potential risks in advance.

CTM solutions by industry

Data centers

Data centers rely on a continuous supply of clean electricity, making power outages a constant and critical threat. Condition monitoring sensors are the key to obtaining the data that is fundamental to digitizing your electrical maintenance.

Condition monitoring sensors can be installed in electrical components such as LV/MV switchgear, MCCs, UPS, PDUs, and dry transformers. Sensors provide an early warning to alert personnel when and where a potential electrical failure may occur.

Logistics

With refrigeration so vital in the food service business, electrical connections must be inspected regularly as part of refrigeration maintenance programs to prevent operational meltdowns due to power loss.

The threat of lost stock due to refrigeration downtime means organizations need to be looking to solutions that digitize electrical asset maintenance and minimize the risk of electrical failure. Continuous monitoring for critical electrical assets is the key to ensuring operational uptime.

Critical infrastructure

IIoT is irreversibly changing the way equipment is operated and maintained. It connects the internet to electrical/mechanical infrastructure and process machinery to enable condition monitoring data to be acquired.

It's more important now than ever to be focusing attention on the benefits of continuous monitoring as opposed to inspection, and accept that this change to digitized maintenance is inevitable.

Oil and gas

Hitting productivity goals and ensuring workforce safety are two key objectives for oil and gas managers. Whether operations are up-, mid-, or downstream, these challenges are shared across the energy sector.

Eliminate the risk of unexpected electrical equipment failures with new and more efficient maintenance methods. Thermal sensors monitor critical electrical assets 24/7 and provide valuable condition data for equipment such as LV/MV switchgear, MCCs, UPS, PDUs, and dry transformers.

Retail

E-commerce continues to grow exponentially; this puts enormous pressure on fulfilment centers when it comes to customer expectation of fast delivery. A vital part of this process is the ability to move / sort packages as quickly and efficiently as possible via motorized conveyors.

Operational uptime for each motor is therefore essential, meaning a malfunction of a motor on the conveyor system can quickly lead to costly downtime and even shutdown of time critical core operations.

Heavy industry

Unexpected failures in power distribution disrupt the ability to keep water flowing. Maintaining the electrical assets that power water treatment processes are key to ensuring better facility uptime and operational efficiency.

Power to water pumps is managed by motor control centers (MCC), which are essential to ensuring facility uptime. By monitoring MCC’s 24/7, engineers can detect electrical equipment faults in advance of a failure.
