The challenge
The cost of an outage was already knownProduct loss on a cold chain failure is measured in hours. Everyone on site knew the number, and it set the tolerance for every decision.
The existing UPS had never been load testedNameplate autonomy of twenty minutes. Nobody had confirmed it since installation.
Work had to fit shutdown windowsThe distribution centre runs shifts. Invasive work happened in planned production stoppages, not against them.
What we delivered
IT Power SolutionsModular UPS protecting control systems, WMS and network, generator interface, load tested at commissioning
Maintenance & Managed ServicesPreventive schedule planned around production shutdowns, with condition reporting on the battery estate
Worked to IEC 62040, IEC 60364.
The numbers
0power incidents in 18 months
| UPS capacity installed | 160 kVA, modular |
| Autonomy at full load, measured | 22 minutes |
| Generator and ATS interface | Yes, 250 kVA |
| Power incidents since commissioning | 0 over 18 months |
| Preventive maintenance visits per year | 4 |
| Average response time achieved | 2.4 hours against a 4 hour commitment |
| Invasive work outside shutdown windows | 0 hours |
The outcome
The site has not lost a cold chain hour to a power event since commissioning. Autonomy is now a measured figure the operations manager can quote, rather than a number on a label.
Documentation handed over
