The motor is used in many industrial applications and these are critical to the productivity of the enterprise. Efficient motors drive performance and the impact of motor failure can be significant. With the greater requirement for production and machine information, comes the need for industrial-grade smart devices. Smart devices are integral components for smart machines and are the first step to capture operational data. These smart devices help enable you to make smarter, more informed decisions.

Customer challenges:

Across multiple applications, the electric motor keeps industry running, from motion systems, ventilators and conveyors to pumps and compressors. Central as they are to manufacturing and industrial performance, the impact of motor failure can be significant. The motor easily fail when it is overloaded while not prevented by appropriate protection measures. High maintenance costs including motor & system repair is always painful for manufacturing plants as the cost gives a significant impact on the operating cost.

Unforeseen downtime has caused loss production. Motor failure without warning forces the major production disruption without any recovery plan that has affected productivity. Serious cases can be thousands or even hundred thousand per hour of lost production. When this happens, it usually takes much time to diagnose and fix the problem. The longer times it takes the more will lose.

Motors are the largest consumers of energy in the industry. It responsible for over 50% of the total energy used by industry, thus it is a cost burden for the manufacturing plants.

XtructureD Solution: Smart Motor Control

Smart motor control solution provides consolidated programming, device and system configuration, operation and maintenance within the Studio 5000 engineering environment, in order to minimize the complexity and potential errors.

Smart Motor Control also provides key diagnostic information such as energy consumption that optimizes performance with real-time access to operation and performance trends. It also comes with sensors, alarms and advanced diagnostic information to alert the user before any incident happen. It helps to ensure the production run productively by detecting potential equipment failures.

Smart Motor Control provides seamless communication and its system is visible for increased performance and flexibility to control and maintain motor performance through smart equipment and networks. Users can monitor and control the motors anytime anywhere.

Benefit

Smart motor control solutions effectively practice in manufacturing plants. It helps to monitor the health and performance of each motor. Preventative maintenance takes steps to improve motor performance and to expand its lifespan. The solution has helped to reduce maintenance costs.

With smart motor control solutions, advance diagnostic information is available to avoid unforeseen downtime. Planned downtime and be in control of the plant will improve productivity and reduce production loss. Smart motor devices help to detect and inform the fault location, it saves the time to identify the root cause of failure. Time to repair and restart the process have been reduced, production can be resume quickly.

Smart motor solutions play a role in monitoring energy consumption. It is able to reduce the speed of a motor by 20% which can save up to 50% energy. Optimizing efficient use of energy has made the overall operation running effectively.
