INDUSTRY SEGMENTS

Voltage quality is relevant in all industries that depend on a reliable, stable, and interference-free power supply—in other words, in virtually every industrial, commercial, and increasingly private environment. However, it is particularly critical in the following industries.

INDUSTRY & MANUFACTURING

WHY IT MATTERS

Production machines, control systems, and automation systems are sensitive to voltage dips, harmonics, and frequency deviations.

TYPICAL PROBLEMS

Plant and machine downtime, defective PLC controls, incorrect measurement results, increased wear and tear, and significant financial losses

INDUSTRY EXAMPLES

Automotive industry, drive and automation technology, chemical and process industry

HEALTHCARE / MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY

WHY IT MATTERS

Vital medical devices such as CT scanners, ventilators, and laboratory systems require a consistently stable power supply.

TYPICAL PROBLEMS

Device malfunctions, measurement deviations, patient risks

INDUSTRY EXAMPLES

Hospitals, medical laboratories, rehabilitation centers

IT & DATA CENTERS

WHY IT MATTERS

Servers, network technology, and storage solutions are super sensitive to voltage fluctuations and transients.

TYPICAL PROBLEMS

Data loss, failures, hardware damage.

INDUSTRY EXAMPLES

Cloud providers, financial service providers such as banks and insurance companies, government agencies with IT centers

TRANSPORT & INFRASTRUCTURE

WHY IT IS RELEVANT

Signalling and control technology in traffic monitoring and control requires a consistent, uninterrupted power supply.

TYPICAL PROBLEMS

Signal interference, operational interruptions, increased risk of accidents

INDUSTRY EXAMPLES

Railway operations, airports, traffic control centres

ENERGY GENERATION & GRID OPERATORS

WHY IT MATTERS

Compliance with legal requirements and grid stability depend heavily on voltage quality measures.

TYPICAL PROBLEMS

Repercussions from consumers or producers (e.g. harmonics), grid instability.

INDUSTRY EXAMPLES

Municipal utilities, grid operators, photovoltaic/wind farm operators

RETAIL & BUILDING AUTOMATION

WHY IT MATTERS

Cooling systems, cash registers, payment systems, and building technology need power that's good and reliable.

TYPICAL PROBLEMS

Payment failures, flickering lights, temperature fluctuations.

INDUSTRY EXAMPLES

Supermarkets and shopping centres, hotels, office buildings

OEMs AND MACHINE MANUFACTURERS

WHY IT IS RELEVANT

Machines and control systems must be network-compliant – both upon delivery and during operation.

TYPICAL PROBLEMS

Warranty claims, complaints, EMC problems

INDUSTRY EXAMPLES

Plant engineering, robotics, packaging machines

ELECTRIC MOBILITY & CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE

WHY IT MATTERS

Fast chargers often cause grid disturbances and are sensitive to poor power quality.

TYPICAL PROBLEMS

Voltage fluctuations, shutdowns, damage

INDUSTRY EXAMPLES

Charging park operators, municipal utilities, automotive OEMs

ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGY

WHY IT IS RELEVANT

Power quality determines the grid compatibility, efficiency, safety and service life of energy storage systems.

TYPICAL PROBLEMS

Thermal overload, protective shutdowns, risk of defects

INDUSTRY EXAMPLES

Energy suppliers, private households, commerce and industry
