Achieving Flexibility in Manufacturing with Power Distribution

starline whitepaper cover

In today’s fast-paced business world, the companies that will survive are not necessarily the largest or most innovative, but the ones that have the flexibility to adapt quickly to changing needs and unexpected events.

A reliable power distribution system is an essential element of any manufacturing facility. Unfortunately, traditional pipe & wire systems don’t have the flexibility to handle quick changes in layout and machinery on the factory floor. When manufacturers must move, add, or replace machines or reconfigure assembly lines, they must often reconfigure electrical conduit and wiring to bring power to the machines in their new locations, or to support increased power loads.

These types of changes are often expensive and time-consuming, resulting in downtime for the machines and lost profits due to lower productivity. Track busways offer an innovative alternative for power distribution that is ideal for today’s manufacturing production environments. The flexibility of track busways allows you to make quick changes in your power layout. By providing localized power to machines, track busways can easily scale up power to handle higher electrical load requirements. Also, track busways provide significant long-term savings in the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of your power distribution system.
