Ensuring Power Continuity for Automotive Innovation
In the fast-paced world of automotive innovation, a consistent and reliable power supply is critical to maintaining operations. When a transformer fire caused a major outage, a leading global automotive supplier turned to MEMS for emergency power for a rapid and effective solution. Within hours, MEMS deployed high-capacity generators to restore power, ensuring minimal disruption and enabling the client to continue operations seamlessly.
With operations at a standstill, the company turned to MEMS emergency power to restore functionality swiftly and ensure minimal downtime.
PROJECT SUMMARY
When a transformer fire caused a complete power outage at a global automotive supplier’s facility, rapid action was essential to avoid prolonged downtime. Relying on their strategically located 24-hour manned facility, MEMS emergency power solutions were deployed within two hours. Two 1250kVA generators were delivered and installed, each running in prime operation mode and connected to separate LV switchboards via 75 metres of cabling. This immediate response restored power to critical areas, minimising disruption to operations.
The following day, after a full assessment of the damage, the client requested additional power support. MEMS responded by delivering a third 1250kVA generator to power another part of the site. This ensured operational continuity across all essential areas.
With the recovery expected to last several weeks, MEMS implemented a robust support strategy to guarantee uninterrupted power. Key measures included:
- Managed Fuel Programme: Regular fuel deliveries ensured continuous generator performance.
- Remote Monitoring Software: Real-time monitoring facilitated proactive issue resolution and optimised efficiency.
- Dedicated Project Management: Oversaw preventative maintenance schedules, installation logistics, and on-site operations, ensuring reliability throughout the rental period.
This tailored approach highlighted the flexibility and reliability of MEMS emergency power solutions, addressing both immediate and long-term needs effectively.
The results
Thanks to the swift intervention of MEMS emergency power, the automotive supplier was able to resume operations quickly with minimal disruption. Over the three weeks required to repair the damaged transformer, MEMS generators maintained uninterrupted power, safeguarding productivity and preventing further losses.
The service provided by MEMS was comprehensive, including installation, de-installation, fuel management, and ongoing maintenance. Client feedback was overwhelmingly positive, praising the speed, efficiency, and reliability of MEMS response.
Impressed with the seamless execution and outstanding support, the client has since initiated plans to integrate the MEMS Disaster Recovery package into their long-term contingency planning.
