Eliminate Costly Downtime with Smarter Motor Protection

Proactive Motor Control & Protection for Manufacturing and Material Handling

Unexpected motor failures cost manufacturers millions annually—leading to unplanned downtime, lost production, and excessive maintenance costs. Unplanned downtime, electrical faults, and motor failures can disrupt production, increase costs, and put equipment at risk. Whether you’re in automotive, food production, steel manufacturing, or glass production, unreliable motor-driven systems put your operations at risk.

Why risk it?

  • According to industry reports, unplanned downtime costs manufacturers nearly R950 billion annually.
  • Just one hour of unplanned downtime in manufacturing can cost businesses as much as R4.9 million.
  • Studies show that 55% of motor failures are due to overheating.
  • Industrial motors account for nearly 70% of electricity consumption, and inefficiencies can lead to up to 30% in wasted energy costs.
