Customer challenges
in distribution centers and warehouses

Distribution centers and warehouses are places where various products can be safely stored before shipping to another location. The nature of these facilities varies greatly depending on what kind of storage conditions the products require. The electricity needs can be big or small with numerous different pieces of equipment that need a continuous power supply.

The electrical equipment directly affects the reliability of distribution centers and warehouses. Many of these devices are fed by non-linear loads such as Variable Frequency Drives (VFD). While VFDs provide motor efficiency, they also cause severe power quality issues like harmonic distortion. This can lead to power outages, overheating, malfunctions, and premature failures that affect for example lighting, air conditioning, cold storage, warm storage, and the operation of conveyors.

It is possible to effectively prevent serious electrical disturbances and maintain a high-quality and reliable service in distribution centers and warehouses by improving power quality.

Applications like lighting, cold storage, warm storage, computer screens, air-conditioning, heat, ventilation, conveyors, CCTV, fire protection system, etc.
