4 simple steps to a successful digital future
To unlock the full potential of your operation, you need a holistic view of everything that’s going on.
What you need to start your digital journey
It’s not as complicated as you might think – there are only a few things you need to put in place before you get going.
Move to digital switchgear
Digital Medium-voltage (MV) or low-voltage (LV) switchgear solutions are key to delivering dependable energy. They will distribute power safely and reliably, while monitoring the condition of the assets in the electrical system and the equipment they feed.
You might not even need to buy a new switchgear as it’s possible to upgrade an existing one by adding smart devices and sensors.
Find a place to store your data
Once your data is collected, you can store it either on premises (edge) or in the cloud.
Benefits of an edge device
