In manufacturing and production, improving power network stability improves profitability.
The amount of fluctuation in the electricity is the determining factor on power network stability. The one thing you can do to eliminate electricity fluctuation in your electrical network and power your machines so they can operate as designed is digitally control the electricity.
Software-Defined Electricity is a PERMANENT solution to the following problems:

  • Surges, transients or sags causing damage and downtime
  • Fluctuations in electricity that negatively impact operations
  • Electrical panels and infrastructure overheated
  • Excessive utility penalties, fees and demand charges
  • Brownouts or overages that affect productivity
  • Generator supplied power increases heat losses in network
  • Excessive and varied electricity consumption
  • Power disruption during transition on/off grid
  • Power quality and electrical network stability is a problem

  • Cold start/stop of large equipment disrupts operations
  • Microwave use affects other machinery
  • Inability to know capacity of existing surge protection
  • Heat due to wasted electricity throughout network
  • External electricity problems affecting internal operations
  • Energy consumption data is not timely and inaccurate
  • UPS devices capacity and safety diminishes with age
  • Thermal, Vibration, Ultrasonic sensors are used to identify mechanical problems in machines
  • Ground and neutral current interferes with electronics

3DFS Technology provides electrical network stability, reduces energy costs and makes manufacturing and production facilities safer, more efficient and predictable

Profitability

Large motors, pumps and other machinery that consume an intense amount of electricity to execute the high volume repetition of manufacturing and production perform optimal work because they are supplied Software-Defined Electricity.
Savings will be noticed in some of the following ways:
Improve Work Quality for Entire Facility
The efficiency of production for all machinery is directly tied to the electricity

Perfect energy transfer means perfect work from the machinery within a facility protected by Software-Defined Electricity. This results in lower error rates and higher yields from runs.

Minimize Repair and Maintenance Costs
Save up to 25% from their annual R&M budget

Optimizing the work performance of machinery reduces the frequency of need for repair, maintenance and replacement of machinery and also allows for easy monitoring and scheduling.

Eliminate Electricity Related Downtime
Constant Electricity Monitoring and Correction Ensures Electrical Network Stability

Software-Defined Electricity constantly analyzes, corrects and perfectly distributes the electricity in a network. When the appropriate infrastructure is in place, downtime is completely preventable.

Spend less on electricity usage and waste
Save up to 15% in Electricity Consumption

Prevent electricity from being wasted as heat or vibration and operate the machinery with the lowest amount of high quality electricity possible which also minimizes utility penalties and fees.

Operations

Every manufacturing and production facility is different, however they all depend on electrical network stability and consistent uptime.
Increased stability will be noticed in some of the following ways:

Improve Work Quality for Entire Facility
The efficiency of production for all machinery is directly tied to network stability

Perfect energy transfer means perfect work from the machinery within a facility protected by Software-Defined Electricity. This results in lower error rates and higher yields from runs.

Real Time Monitoring and Correction of Distorted Electricity
Distorted electricity and electrical energy flow are directly related to instability and downtime

Software-Defined Electricity constantly analyzes, corrects and perfectly distributes the electricity in a network. When the appropriate infrastructure is in place, downtime is completely preventable.

Appropriately Assign Facility Engineers to Tasks
Distorted electricity and electrical energy flow are directly related to instability and downtime

The reduction in repair and maintenance needs related to uncontrolled electricity frees up facilities engineers to focus on and address other non-electricity related tasks within the facility.

Operational Improvement Through Data and Analytics
Device level energy profiles over time provide exact data for asset management

The data and analytics capabilities within manufacturing and production facilities will allow organizations to optimize nearly every facet of their operations for efficiency of production and capitalization.

New Layer of

Energy Data & Analytics

The Multiparametric Electrical Signature Analysis and Predictive Analytics of 3DFS Technology give manufacturing and production facility operators a new layer of energy data and analytics that touch nearly every aspect of their business for a complete and total real time understanding of their entire operation.

Load disaggregation provides the ability to drill down, identify and track every machine in the facility from a single dashboard

With individual device performance data, substandard machines operating in the electrical network are diagnosed prior to any disruption of operations

Device profiles are compared across brand and function to identify superior performance in live environments over time

The detailed energy profile of the operations is segmented and tracked, making budgeting and forecasting easy and accurate

Electrical events that occur are always recorded and can be analyzed afterward to determine better protocols or practices

The comprehensive energy profile data maintains historical information in cases of energy consumption verification

Building infrastructure management and repair and maintenance scheduling in a single dashboard for ease of oversight, delegation and record keeping
