When the time comes to modernize old electrical installations no longer supported by equipment manufacturers, two options can be considered, full renewal or partial renewal of existing equipment.
Both aim to :
- Improve people and equipment safety
- Extend installation lifespan
- Reduce the risks of unexpected shutdowns
- Avoid the loss or lack of competence in maintenance team
This modernization becomes an opportunity to set up or improve the digitization and communication of the customer equipment, highlighting needs for distant monitoring and operations.
In fact, with digitized equipment we can now:
- Communicate health status data to enhance power system reliability and power efficiency
- Cloud connect to original manufacturer experts for a close and efficient follow-up
- Go from periodical maintenance to predictive maintenance
Through this survey, we want to better understand the concerns regarding the modernization of electrical distribution and the opportunity to connect the electrical installations to the cloud to evolve toward digital features.
