In today’s industry, most of the electronic devices are vulnerable towards power quality issues. A momentary voltage sag can reset or damage sensitive production equipment. This is especially true for the semiconductor industry. An interruption in the semiconductor industry is very expensive because production is halted and cannot merely be restarted, making all progresses null.

KVC is proud to supply 16 units of Allen-Bradley Dynamic Sag Correctors (DySC) from Rockwell Automation which consists of MegaDySC and ProDySC to a multinational semiconductor facility in Batu Kawan, Penang. The customer was facing multiple voltage sag events and their use of older machines, which are more sensitive to power issues, were causing financial loss as productivity was impacted. Investing in new machines were less complex than protecting older machines or systems and thus, the customer was looking for a solution to protect their new machines. When the team of experts at KVC understood the customer’s pain points, they proposed a DySC solution which the customer accepted with confidence because of our earlier successful system implementation in two of their machines at the facility. Moreover, the KVC team also conducted a site visit, training and free maintenance as a value-added service.

With this DySC solution, numerous benefits can be achieved, such as ensuring that productivity is protected from power quality issues, lowering overall maintenance costs and reducing unplanned downtime. Moreover, Allen-Bradley DySC solutions from Rockwell Automation are 99% efficient with their protection against voltage sags and momentary outages that account for significant amounts of manufacturing downtime and damaged equipment. The DySC is a scalable, battery-free solution with no moving parts and virtually no maintenance, making them ideal for critical manufacturing processes and sensitive electronics that require sag ride-through protection for up to 5 seconds.

With an aim to continuously delight our customers by making their lives and day-to-day operations easier, we offer XtructureD Solutions (XD Solutions) by partnering with the highest quality global and local strategic suppliers through sustainable ways of involving customer, people and planet, lead and dare.
