From Data to Decisions: The Power of an Intelligent MCC
By importing IntelliCENTER datasets into the MCC software, you transform raw data into actionable insights – delivering operational, maintenance, and cost-saving advantages that keep your plant running smarter and more reliably.
- Validate design and engineering: Create and validate the MCC design, reducing project risks and engineering time
- Real-time visibility: See the status of every connected device at-a-glance, so you know what’s running, faulted, or alarmed without walking to the equipment
- Reduce operational costs: Predictive and proactive maintenance improves uptime by receiving real-time information on equipment health and potential failures. Reduce emergency repair costs
- Increase system reliability and uptime: Real-time system performance data helps prevent unexpected failures and enables early fault detection. This increases uptime that continual-operation industries rely on
Improve safety – reduce arc flash hazards with remote MCC monitoring
IntelliCENTER motor control center software can also remotely monitor the status of networked devices from the safety of the control room – to help protect your workforce from exposure to electric arc flash hazards. As a result, engineers can troubleshoot and diagnose your motor control devices without approaching the energized motor control equipment.
Scalable for the future
As your MCC needs evolve – whether adding new sections or upgrading devices – you can purchase incremental IntelliCENTER datasets that include the new information. These updates integrate with your existing lineup, confirming your system view remains current and easy to maintain.
A practical first step into factory automation
IntelliCENTER technology is an ideal entry point for organizations beginning their industrial automation journey. Many manufacturers are exploring ways to modernize their operations, and IntelliCENTER software – now integrated within FactoryTalk® Design Studio™ – offers an easy entry point. There’s no need for complex installations or manual updates. IntelliCENTER is now accessible through a user-friendly, web-based application.
This makes it a practical and cost-effective starting point for automation, especially for facilities that already have some Ethernet infrastructure in place. Even in plants that aren’t fully digital, MCCs equipped with IntelliCENTER technology help advance automation and improve operational efficiency.
Start with a single dataset and scale over time, confident that future additions will integrate seamlessly. This scalability – combined with the ability to connect motor control into an integrated architecture – lets manufacturers build smarter, more connected operations with flexibility and growth in mind.
