Electrical panel revamping is a strategic solution to update and optimize existing systems, improving their efficiency, safety, and lifespan—especially in an era where innovation and sustainability have become essential priorities. This practice not only aligns machines with modern standards but also addresses the principles of Industry 5.0 by integrating advanced technologies, automation, artificial intelligence, and sustainable solutions to ensure optimal productivity and enhanced operational comfort.
What is electrical panel revamping?
Revamping is the process of upgrading and transforming existing electrical panels to optimize performance, reduce energy consumption, and improve human-machine interaction. It goes beyond regular maintenance or the gradual replacement of worn-out components, representing a complete system regeneration with the goal of:
- Extending the lifespan of machinery.
- Reducing operational and energy costs.
- Ensuring safer and more comfortable working conditions for operators.
- Promoting more efficient and integrated interaction between machines and advanced management systems.
Why revamping will become essential in the Industry 5.0 era
With the evolution toward Industry 5.0, industrial production focuses not only on efficiency and automation but also on integrating advanced technologies to enhance human life quality and reduce environmental impact. The main drivers that make revamping a priority are:
- Integration of intelligent systems: adopting IIoT devices, advanced sensors, and control algorithms enables optimized management of electrical panels and significant waste reduction.
- Automation and artificial intelligence: AI-based systems collect, analyze, and utilize real-time data to optimize processes, prevent failures, and reduce maintenance costs.
- Environmental sustainability: revamping enables energy savings and the implementation of solutions that extend the life of still-functioning electrical panel components while replacing only obsolete ones, thereby optimizing overall system consumption.
Fandis offers a range of products designed to support electrical panel revamping, improving thermal management, maintenance, and overall efficiency. Let’s take a closer look at some of the solutions available.
Sensis from Fandis: intelligent and predictive management for effective and sustainable revamping
The IIoT Sensis device is an advanced solution designed for the thermal management and remote operation of electrical panels. Thanks to its features, it allows users to:
- Optimize the human-machine interface: Sensis enables both local and remote interaction, providing real-time data to enhance system understanding and management.
- Reduce anomalies and failure risks: The collected data helps identify potential issues in advance, enabling predictive maintenance, minimizing downtime, and improving reliability.
- Reduce consumption and noise: Integrated algorithms automatically adjust the electrical panel’s ventilation systems, ensuring maximum efficiency with minimal energy use.
- Support the circular economy: Advanced monitoring functions and AI integration help identify components for regeneration or replacement, extending lifecycle and reducing waste.
Virdis roof exhaust units: optimized ventilation in compact spaces
The Virdis roof-mounted exhaust units are an ideal solution for improving ventilation in electrical panels. They allow users to:
- Optimize performance: Thanks to electronically controlled motors with proportional control, airflow adjusts in real-time based on thermal needs.
- Reduce consumption and noise: Fans equipped with intelligent PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) flow control promote energy savings and improve acoustic comfort in the workplace.
- Save space: TP roof units are a great alternative to filter fans, especially when vertical cabinet walls are inaccessible or when there’s a need for multiple adjacent electrical cabinets.
Esmeris compact fans: efficiency and precision with EC technology
The compact fans from the Esmeris range, powered by EC (electronically commutated) motors, strike the perfect balance between high performance and energy efficiency. By combining a DC motor powered by AC through an integrated PCB board, these fans deliver a highly precise and silent solution.
They are ideal for:
- Rapid cooling of electronic circuits and other sensitive components: To protect internal electrical panel components from potential damage due to overheating.
- Safeguarding devices in case of blockage: EC compact fans feature an integrated protection system that continuously monitors operations. In case of a blockage, the system interrupts power to prevent motor damage.
- Automatically restarting fans: The system attempts to restart the fan after a blockage. If the issue persists, it remains in protection mode to prevent overheating or malfunctions, ensuring efficiency and safety even during sudden mechanical failures.
- Ensuring energy savings: Precise speed regulation adapts performance to actual needs, minimizing waste.
- Reducing noise emissions: Ideal for environments where workplace comfort is a priority or where noise levels must stay within specific limits.
