Importance of UPS for Manufacturing

  1. Continuous Operation
    Manufacturing processes heavily rely on machinery, which demands consistent power input. Any disruption in power can halt production, leading to significant financial losses. UPS systems act as a buffer during power outages, seamlessly transitioning to battery backup to sustain operations until power is restored.
  2. Equipment Protection
    Mechanical loads such as CNC machines, robotic arms, conveyors, and assembly lines are susceptible to damage caused by sudden power fluctuations, spikes, or surges. UPS units regulate the incoming power, providing stable voltage and frequency levels, thereby extending the lifespan of equipment and minimizing repair costs.
  3. Data Integrity
    In modern manufacturing, many processes are controlled by computerized systems that rely on uninterrupted power for data integrity. UPS for manufacturing solutions ensure that critical data stored in these systems remains intact during power disturbances, preventing data corruption and system failures.
  4. Power Problem in Manufacturing
    Many manufacturing plants are comparatively new, utilize newer technologies and are generally deploying technologies that are knowledge intensive, use global vendors as well as customers. Use mass customization’s and are supposed to be geared up for short product development cycles. This mean deploying automated and flexible manufacturing processes and being globally competitive. However, the quality of power and more importantly its continuous availability are challenges that manufacturers have to face.

Industrial UPS power protection for mechanical loads in manufacturing The power quality will lead to:

  • Stop production:  Loss of production + Man hour due to time required to restart the automated process, cleaning of assembly line , removal of wastages, and bringing back the production to full speed again.
  • Effects on quality of parts that were in production at the time of power failure. these may be out-rightly rejected or in some cases need to go through recycling.
  • Higher wear and tear of automated machinery, thereby increasing downtime as well as maintenance costs.

There are multiple power quality solutions from the one that solves a single power quality issue to those providing nearly complete protection. These include surge suppressors, Voltage stabilizers, isolation transformers, to the industrial UPS system.
