In many industrial facilities, motor control systems develop incrementally rather than intentionally. New equipment is added to meet production goals, legacy machines are retrofitted to extend service life, and replacement components are chosen based on availability or project timelines. Over time, this leads to a mix of drives, starters, and
Control panels are the nerve center of any automated system. They coordinate equipment, process data, and give operators visibility into what’s happening on the floor. However, many facilities are still operating panels built around aging hardware, limited diagnostics, and interfaces that are challenging to support. Modernizing control panels with
How Schneider Electric Drives Transform Motor Control Performance Across Industries In industrial automation, motors are everywhere, moving materials, controlling flow, powering production lines, and keeping critical systems running. But the way those motors are controlled plays a major role in efficiency, reliability, and long-term equipment health. That’s where Schneider
When a facility faces an urgent testing need, waiting weeks for equipment to arrive is not an option. Downtime is costly, and the ability to act quickly can make the difference between a minor disruption and a major outage. That’s where Lakeland Engineering Equipment Company steps in with local test
Motor control equipment has a significant impact on system performance, energy use, and long-term reliability. Schneider Electric offers several solutions for starting and controlling motors, including variable frequency drives (VFDs), soft starters, and across-the-line starters. While each technology serves a different purpose, selecting the right option depends on application requirements, operating
