Case Study: AVX
Safeguarding against costly downtime
Continu helps AVX safeguard against production loss
The project
AVX Backup Power Solution.
The background
AVX are a producer of passive electrical devices, including capacitors, resistors, filters and fuses. In the past, every time the company experienced a mains failure, it caused production to stop, resulting in thousands of pounds in loss.
AVX desperately needed a solution to support the production process in event of power failure happening again.
The solution
Continu supplied and installed a range of Schneider Galaxy and APC UPS with various run time backup, which will provide optimal time for the production team to maintain continuous systems before their alternate supply is established.
The results
AVX now have peace of mind that in the event of power outages, surges, spikes or brown outs, the UPS’s protects the critical systems running the production line, safeguarding the company from financial loss due to downtime.
Furthermore, ongoing maintenance and advice has established AVX’s as one of Continu’s long standing customers.
“Very good communication and recommendations”.
