Ekip UP from ABB - upgrading low-voltage installations in no time at all
Electrification gives energy. This also applies to production sites and industrial environments. The factory of the future requires energy-efficient solutions. An example of such a solution is ABB's Ekip UP: a plug-and-play unit to upgrade and digitise low-voltage plant.
The factory of the future is sustainable. With increasingly stringent laws and regulations, now is a good time to invest in energy-efficient solutions. The benefits are many: improved energy management, short- and long-term energy savings, accurate predictive maintenance, prevention of grid congestion problems and a competitive edge.
Digitalisation as an accelerator in energy efficiency
Smart digital solutions help gain insight into energy consumption and continuously optimise energy use. How do you translate this digitalisation to your installations? With a smart update and upgrade! A low-voltage distributor has a lifespan of up to 40 years. But much of the technology used in the distributor evolves much faster. An upgrade is then a must.
Ekip UP
The Ekip UP is an innovative, digital plug-and-play unit that allows you to digitise and upgrade an existing non-digital low-voltage system. It can monitor energy consumption and improve safety functions. Ekip UP is suitable for low-voltage applications ranging from 40 kW to 4 MW.
Installation and configuration are easy: even advanced functions require no more than basic programming knowledge. There is hardly any downtime. You can link the system to the cloud-based platform ABB AbilityTM Energy and Asset Manager.
