Introduction
Elion Technologies & Consulting Pvt. Ltd is proud to showcase its commitment to proactive safety and operational excellence through a recent project at a leading FMCG company in Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh. This case study highlights the effectiveness of a combined Electrical Audit with Thermography in identifying hidden electrical hazards, optimizing energy consumption, and ultimately creating a safe and efficient production environment for the company.
Project Overview:
Our client, a renowned FMCG manufacturer, recognized the crucial role of robust electrical infrastructure and efficient energy utilization in ensuring both safety and cost-effectiveness for their extensive production facilities. They engaged Elion Technologies to conduct a comprehensive electrical audit with an integrated thermography component, seeking to illuminate potential dangers and optimize their electrical systems.
Methodology
- Our experienced electrical engineers and certified thermographers meticulously assessed the entire facility, including:
- Production lines and machinery.
- Electrical panels and distribution systems.
- Lighting arrangements and control systems.
- Grounding and earthing systems.
- We conducted thorough visual inspections of electrical components, wiring, and connections.
- We utilized advanced thermal imaging cameras to capture temperature variations across electrical equipment, revealing potential overheating and malfunctioning components.
- We analyzed the data from both the visual inspection and thermography to identify potential hazards, inefficiencies, and non-compliance with electrical safety regulations.
Unveiling Hidden Threats and Inefficiencies:
The combined audit revealed several crucial findings:
- Overheating connections: Thermography identified loose or overloaded connections generating excessive heat, posing a significant fire risk and potential equipment damage.
- Inefficient lighting: Traditional lighting arrangements consumed excessive energy and produced unnecessary heat, impacting both operational costs and comfort levels.
- Aging infrastructure: Certain electrical components displayed signs of wear and tear, increasing the risk of breakdowns and safety hazards.
- Grounding inconsistencies:Â Minor discrepancies in grounding and earthing systems potentially compromised electrical safety and equipment protection.
Tailored Solutions for Safety and Efficiency:
Based on these findings, we provided a detailed report with prioritized recommendations, including:
- Repairing or replacing faulty and overheating electrical connections.
- Upgrading to energy-efficient LED lighting systems with occupancy sensors and dimming controls.
- Replacing aging equipment with newer, safer models.
- Rectifying grounding inconsistencies to ensure optimal electrical safety.
- Implementing preventive maintenance programs and thermal imaging inspections for early detection of potential issues.
Results:
By diligently implementing our recommendations, the Greater Noida FMCG company achieved remarkable results:
- Enhanced Safety: Eliminating electrical hazards through repairs, upgrades, and improved grounding practices significantly reduced the risk of fire incidents and electrical accidents, creating a safer environment for employees and valuable equipment.
- Reduced Energy Costs: Upgraded lighting systems and optimized electrical operations led to substantial energy savings, lowering operational costs and minimizing the company’s environmental footprint.
- Improved Operational Efficiency:Â Replacing aging equipment and addressing inefficiencies minimized downtime and boosted production line performance.
- Enhanced Compliance:Â Rectifying grounding issues and addressing regulatory discrepancies ensured the facility adhered to relevant electrical safety codes and regulations.
