When customers look to install a new medium voltage variable frequency drive, their priorities are reliability, efficiency, and ease of use. Innomotics excels in these areas with its robust product offerings. The company’s Product Cluster Management and R&D; teams, based in New Kensington, USA, and Shanghai, CN, are dedicated to data collection and technology development, overseeing the entire lifecycle of its products.
One of the standout features of the Perfect Harmony GH180 is its nearly sinusoidal output voltage, enabling customers to configure it with virtually any high-voltage motor. This motor-friendliness underscores Innomotics’ commitment to being both available and reliable.
Digitalisation with Industry 4.0
The Perfect Harmony GH180 is equipped with advanced sensors that monitor the converter and identify potential failures before they occur. This capability is powered by data collection, which supports preventive maintenance. Innomotics continuously seeks ways to optimise the drive’s components efficiently, benefiting end users in their applications.
Reducing downtime with predictive maintenance
Uptime is crucial for highly efficient drives that must operate reliably under all conditions. Innomotics’ expertise in predictability and reliability minimises downtime risks that could create significant challenges for our customers. Its technologies facilitate predictive maintenance, ensuring that the drive operates as intended, even in harsh environments. This proactive approach utilizes statistical data and machine process data to identify the optimal time for part replacement. Regularly inspecting equipment to pinpoint and resolve potential issues has proven to be highly effective in maintaining optimal performance.
Our customers testify to our success.
Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA), the world’s largest producer of premium aluminium, achieved an impressive 20% energy savings with the Innomotics Perfect Harmony GH180 in its fume treatment system. This achievement supports the company’s journey towards reducing its carbon footprint and promoting sustainability.
The evolution of multiple generations of the Perfect Harmony GH180 over the past 30 years is a testament to its reliability. Innomotics’ continuous pursuit of the latest technology, rapid adaptation to real-time data, and unwavering support for customers with cutting-edge innovations make it a trusted partner.
