DriveScan

Continuous Remote Monitoring for Medium Voltage Drives.

Overview

DriveScan is the premiere system and service for real-time remote monitoring of medium-voltage (MV) drives. It continuously captures critical drive and facility health indicators for faster detection and recovery of adverse events. DriveScan’s comprehensive and modular sensor suite is integrated into each drive enabling safe detection of intermittent and evolving faults.

Its powerful cloud-based software and intelligent fleet management dashboard help identify potential problems early, allowing a proactive vs reactive response. Its dashboard synthesizes data across all drives to display an intuitive health overview and enables single-drive drill-down for detailed troubleshooting.


Using DriveScan will:
Increase drive uptime through data-driven failure prediction
Reduce operation and service costs through remote analytics and avoided service calls
