Research also shows there is increasing pressure on industrial facilities to reduce costs, improve productivity, quality and safety (source: IndustryARC). Intelligent motor control centers (MCCs) are helping bridge the gap from where you are to where you want to be, by delivering data-driven insights that impact operations across industrial applications including petrochemical, mining and metals, power generation, pulp and paper, water, food and beverage and more.
Put simply, motor control centers provide monitoring and control for the operation of a collection of electrical loads. When integrated with communications and smart devices, this equipment becomes intelligent, and the performance of a plant’s fleet of motors can be mined for productivity-enhancing intelligence. With these added capabilities, motor control centers provide a direct path to the data needed to make more informed operating decisions, that optimize process and power system performance.
There are also financial benefits, as motor control centers infused with intelligence can detect problems and deliver essential diagnostics that increase profitability by solving previously labor-intensive system uptime and safety challenges. This technology is delivering a powerful impact to operations and the bottom line by:
By 2025, analysts predict 55.9 billion devices will be generating 79.4 zettabytes of data.
