End-to-End Motor Management Solutions from the Motor Expert

What is motor management?  

Electrical motor management is usually associated with the overall maintenance of the motor; however, it is not limited to that. Our motor management holistic approach helps end users, equipment manufacturers, and designers coping with mechanical, electrical, and maintenance challenges for motors, controls, equipment selection and sizing, power factor, harmonic mitigation, and service continuity. 

Our offer supports sustainable motor integration in electrical systems for industrial, machine and building applications. Made up of 5 pillars, it involves expert services and software for motor applications, advanced motor control, power quality, motor protection and control systems and asset management. An efficient motor management can help with reducing impact of motors during start-up and operation, increase power quality and production efficiency, reduce costs of unscheduled downtime or upkeeping, eliminate unnecessary inventory build-up, and more.
