Metals
  • Iron and Steel
  • Casting, Rolling & Finishing
  • Utilities Control
  • Raw Material to Market

From power distribution to crane controls, these applications are key to support any steel mill. Often overlooked, any downtime affecting these activities can affect the entire operation.


Connect Process and Electrical Distribution Systems

Many manufacturing plants are designed with independent electrical power distribution and automation control systems. This approach increases complexity and cost, and often lacks productivity and the visibility needed to make informed decisions.

Our Intelligent Packaged Power offering helps reduce risk by delivering our motor control devices, and all elements of the electrical distribution system - all in one package.
