Power quality plays a significant role in avoiding plant downtime and ensuring systems run consistently and cost-effectively over the long term. However, it\u2019s not always easy to detect power quality issues or identify their cause \u2014 especially across massive and\/or geographically separated operating environments. That\u2019s why critical facilities must take a proactive approach to managing power quality with 24\/7 remote, always-on monitoring systems. These firmly fixed \u201ceyes\u201d on your equipment continually measure, detect and diagnose power quality issues across your entire portfolio \u2014 uncovering valuable insight that you can act on immediately or build into your planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s how remote, cloud-based power quality measurement and monitoring helps you keep facilities operating profitably and at peak performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Boost workflow efficiency<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most facilities depend on multiple supervisors to keep operations running smoothly. But when you need to oversee a large fleet of equipment or multiple facilities at the same time \u2014 it can be difficult to keep everyone on the same page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remote, cloud-based monitoring puts an end to this problem and accelerates your workflow efficiency by helping you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Easily share insights, reports and dashboards between peers to keep everyone informed and on the right course<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monitor all your equipment and facilities, all at once, from the convenience of your mobile device or desktop<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Securely access comprehensive information from one place to manipulate and analyze data, connect dots, view trends and create visualizations&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep teams updated about indicators and causes of inefficiencies and power disruptions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stay up to date with real-time data available on all your devices<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Analyze trends over time to connect dots and inform strategies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"323\" data-src=\"https:\/\/modomodostage.com\/_client\/PWS\/PWS101\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/qubescan-monitoring-ui-screens-1024x323.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14216 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/modomodostage.com\/_client\/PWS\/PWS101\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/qubescan-monitoring-ui-screens-1024x323.png 1024w, https:\/\/modomodostage.com\/_client\/PWS\/PWS101\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/qubescan-monitoring-ui-screens-300x95.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/323;\" \/><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"323\" src=\"https:\/\/modomodostage.com\/_client\/PWS\/PWS101\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/qubescan-monitoring-ui-screens-1024x323.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/modomodostage.com\/_client\/PWS\/PWS101\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/qubescan-monitoring-ui-screens-1024x323.png 1024w, https:\/\/modomodostage.com\/_client\/PWS\/PWS101\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/qubescan-monitoring-ui-screens-300x95.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Avoid unplanned downtime<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As systems become more advanced and efficient, downtime events could become more complex. Power outages aren\u2019t the only culprit. Hidden power quality issues can <strong>damage equipment over time<\/strong> \u2014 leading to unexpected system failures and a lengthy diagnostic process that may require trial and error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>With real-time power quality alerts from a remote monitoring system<\/strong>, you can instantly detect and diagnose power quality problems to help take the guesswork out of repairs. Plus, by monitoring events over time, recurring patterns that contribute to downtime come to light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-size: 28px; font-style: italic;\">Unplanned downtime events cost industrial manufacturers as much as<b> $50B annually.<\/b><sup style=\"vertical-align: super; font-size: 20px;\">1<\/sup> Power quality insights can guide proactive prevention. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Extend equipment lifespan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding the health of your system is critical to maintaining your equipment. A remote power monitoring system ideally should allow users to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Create alerts based on common issues, like system overheating, and determine their root causes<\/strong> \u2014 such as current overloads, unbalances, or harmonic distortion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Monitor for power quality issues that have the most significant impact on equipment<\/strong> \u2014 like unbalanced loads that may damage motors or voltage deviations that disrupt sensitive equipment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Leverage AI and machine learning to optimize diagnostics <\/strong>\u2014&nbsp;helping you rapidly identify the direction and source of events like voltage sags<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These capabilities allow you to quickly pinpoint the root cause of issues, accelerate response time and potentially prevent repeat occurrences \u2014 all to help keep equipment in peak condition for the long term.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Better understand energy consumption and costs&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On average, 30% of the energy consumed in commercial and industrial facilities is wasted<sup style=\"vertical-align: super; font-size: 9px;\">2<\/sup> \u2014 and poor power quality is one reason. Poor power factor, unbalanced or nonlinear loads, voltage fluctuations, harmonics, and other common issues can all impact system resiliency and inflate your energy bill.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the ability to monitor and analyze energy waste and power problems over time, you can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Improve energy efficiency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lower unnecessary energy usage and costs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Manage peak loads and reduce demand charges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid power factor penalties from utility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Achieve your sustainability goals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t wait for a significant disruption to address power quality problems.
