What is an E-House?

➢ Prefabricated solution for various

applications and all markets.

➢ Fully equipped & pre-tested

➢ Space saving alternative to

conventional substations

➢ Reduce risk and complexity

➢ Time saving project approach

➢ Cost savings in CAPEX & OPEX

Operations can be improved with a monitoring system, reducing the number and length of
on-site visits just to get information.

Challenges of operators without access to a

dedicated monitoring system:
0101
0110 010101010101
1010 01101010100 • Lost of operational information for further
10101010111000 analysis.
0101 • Limited transparency as not all variables nor
0110
1010 all devices are integrated in existing central
control systems.
• No data for analytics or statistics.
• Absence of up-to-date information of devices
status.

Maintenance Programs are key to keep systems running and increase electrical
components life cycle; nevertheless, failures still occur.

Predictive

• More than 55% of maintenance resources and activities of an average facility are still reactive
• Preventive maintenance reduce equipment failure and bring up to 18% in cost reductions
• This can be labor intense and include performance of unneeded maintenance when are time-based
• Predictive maintenance can double the savings up-to a 40%

Predictive Maintenance is based on the actual condition of the system rather
than on schedule and can bring several benefits.

Predictive Reduction in
maintenance maintenance 30% Elimination of
breakdowns:
75%
savings potentials: costs:

Reduction in Increase in Return of

downtimes: 45% production: 25% investment:
10x

• The level of achievement of these benefits will depend on the well orchestration of the maintenance program.

• The transparency level reached, on-time information and continuous data availability for better evaluation are
examples of elements that can make from Predictive Maintenance a success.

SIMARIS Control
Main Benefits and Use Cases
• Graphic representation of all assets
with all panels, sections and devices
with connected variables.
• Transparency of electrical
assets: Operational data, device
statistical information, alarms,
trends, local control &
parameterization.
• Variety of field protocols and
interfaces. Capture and monitor
more data from field, pre-process it
to reduce data transfer.
• Possibility of cloud transfer.
