Operational success can be achieved with a small team of proactive equipment experts using

remote information and control capabilities to increase the efficiency and robustness of the
equipment experts with remote
network. Within seconds, these specialists can move their capabilities between network nodes.

Operating a Network without Remote Information and Control is Challenging Can my rectifier / UPS capacity drive the load with redundancy? Do I have any weak system components, like rectifiers that run hot or can’t share the load? Does my genset work when I need it to?
Network Availability
Do I have the correct system set points for my current situation? Do I need to dispatch a technician for a module alarm or can this wait until next visit? When do I need to refill the fuel tank?
Field Maintenance
If I knew equipment operating conditions and run time hours, could I extend the time between onsite maintenance visits? When a problem arises, do I have a detailed alarm description, equipment history and failure sequence at hand?
EN313SRA-MON
Does my battery capacity match my design criteria?
When do I need to replace my batteries and what is the appropriate type of batteries to use? Have I put my battery capacity where I have the biggest grid problems?
CapEx & Planning
Is there extra capacity at one site that can be used at another?
Is my equipment running at optimum efficiency versus benchmarks? Are my off grid sites using the most cost efficient selection of energy sources and are my planned savings achieved?
Energy Efficiency
Can I reprogram the free cooling functionality to save more energy?
Is my equipment running at optimum efficiency for operating conditions? I've brought my maintenance costs down through outsourcing but am I taking a hit elsewhere?

Emerson Network Power Remote Services & Monitoring Solutions In order to drive targeted improvements in network availability as well as efficiencies in energy, maintenance and CapEx, various monitoring components and operator activities are required. Operators gain the necessary information through feedback from monitoring hardware connected to site infrastructure or from intelligent site equipment with built-in monitoring capabilities.

Emerson Network Power Remote Services & Monitoring Solutions
You may be wondering… Are my off grid sites using the most efficient source?
Do I have enough information to solve site problems in one visit?
Configuring and fine tuning the settings of an off grid alternative energy hybrid site provides fuel savings up to 20%. This attention to detail allows the site to perform according to design expectations.
Leveraging detailed alarm information decreases second site visit up to 75%. Having the data and expertise to develop a costeffective plan – like knowing which piece of equipment triggered the alarm or if it's a redundant unit – is the key to solving issues in the first visit to the site.
Rest Assured Deploying an advanced monitoring solution is a decision to change to a different way of working. You invest in capabilities that remotely collect information and exercise control in order to improve in other areas, like network availability, reduced energy and site maintenance costs, as well as optimized use of equipment CapEx.
