With Industry 4.0, Made Smarter and Digitisation offering benefits to every industrial sector, along with growing technologies such as Additive Manufacturing and Cloud Computing, real time data with fast reliable analysis is leading to real efficiency savings.
An MCC manufactured with Smart devices can be more cost effective as they replace many components resulting in both reduced weight and dimensions of a motor starter and also a reduced overall MCC footprint. Industry trends indicated that in 2017 Ethernet and wireless technology represented the biggest share of communications protocols implemented on smart projects.
There are several advantages of using smart technologies, such as simpler cabling, diagnostics & data integrity improvements, redundancy protocols and real time data. This allows real time analysis of plant performance, trend mapping and estimated predictive failure times together with plant performance analysis and plant efficiency improvements.
