1. How important is switchgear modernisation to your business?
This process is critical for all organisations that rely heavily on their electrical infrastructure. Outdated equipment increases the chance for a longer downtime, higher maintenance costs, reduced efficiency, and at the same time unforeseen power outages and equipment failures. All these issues have a high impact on the business operation.
With more advanced, modern equipment, businesses can greatly improve the performance and reliability of their electrical system. Furthermore, it also facilitates green transition which is a key aspect for many organisations.
2. What constitutes EcoFit Switchgear modernisation services?
Our support focuses on upgrading equipment with smart sensors, retrofitting core components, enhancing protection systems, modernising automation control and monitoring, and recycling raw materials to become environmentally compliant.
These services help to elevate non-communicating equipment to a web of connected assets and ensure top-notch reliability of equipment with retrofitted components. They also enable simple installation and configuration. Furthermore, it’s possible to benefit from high-performance service life for all your assets.
3. What are the biggest benefits of these upgrade solutions?
One of the main reasons to implement EcoFit Switchgear modernisation is the extension of the equipment lifespan. It is also a much more cost-effective option as we don’t have to replace entire systems, but simply replace the necessary components. At the same time, it reduces waste and, therefore, has a positive impact on the environment. This way, organisations can reduce their carbon footprint and become more sustainable.
These upgrades are also great as performance improvement services since modernisation allows for optimisation of system settings. Upgrading outdated components helps in reducing downtime, as machines become more reliable.
