Preventive and predictive maintenance: Identifying pattern changes facilitates better planning of maintenance activities and avoid interruptions of critical business practices, while analyzing system data allows “just-in-time” maintenance procedures to be developed and implemented.

Proactive management of power resources: The continuous capture of all events enables users to develop trend lines and algorithms to maintain real-time illustrations of infrastructure performance and improve reliability, while automated alerting sends alarms to power managers before problems occur.

Troubleshooting: Power monitoring instrumentation has been designed to help identify the nature and severity of power quality problems to prevent them from recurring. Automated software pinpoints the location, magnitude and duration of events to quickly remedy harmful situations.

Energy expenditure reductions: Load profile can be generated to track daily, weekly and seasonal variations in energy consumption, while critical loads can be metered and sub-metered to evaluate consumption and reduce energy costs.
