Digitalization that creates added value
Higher energy efficiency, fail-safety through predictive maintenance, and ensuring cybersecurity are the trend topics that play a decisive role in shaping power systems. With our integrated digitalization concept for the entire electrical infrastructure at the low-voltage level, you gain a high level of data transparency that helps to significantly meet these requirements.
Energy efficiency: Powered by Zeitgeist.
Today, buildings and industrial processes are increasingly automated. And this trend is growing, which means a greater demand for energy. At the same time, there are increasing demands to reduce power consumption and boost energy efficiency, while also ensuring a secure power supply around the clock. By using digital power monitoring solutions, all energy flows can be made transparent. Based on real-time data provided by the power distribution system, it is possible to achieve energy savings of up to 30 percent. In short: Innovative power monitoring ensures transparency that pays off.
Predictive maintenance: Powered by Zeitgeist.
Unplanned downtimes of electrical systems and equipment are not only expensive, they also endanger the supply of goods and products. Efficient maintenance concepts for electrical and building technology, such as predictive maintenance, are in demand. It is also made possible at the low-voltage power distribution level through digitalization and the use of smart data. Communications-capable protection, switching, measuring, and monitoring devices supply data via condition monitoring, enabling building operators to perform preventive, condition-based maintenance on all components.
Cybersecurity: Powered by Zeitgeist.
Critical infrastructure in particular needs to be protected against cyberattacks. With the defense-in-depth concept, we take a comprehensive approach to protection that also includes power distribution at the low-voltage level. This provides multi-layered digital protection against cyberattacks. It also includes protection that regulates access to the device, signature-based firmware for cybersecure updates, and regular vulnerability analyses as well as their remediation. As a user, you benefit from the cybersecure use of communications-capable devices and cloud-based software tools.
