A Century of Helping Manufacturers Meet Power Needs

Loss of power means lost production and lost revenue. Reliable standby power allows you to avoid those losses and maintain critical operations during power outages, preventing the production downtime, financial losses, and potential safety hazards that can arise from sudden disruptions to machinery and control systems. At Caterpillar, we have a century of experience in manufacturing. We provide the products and expertise you need to help ensure a smooth continuation of production, even when your main power source fails. Ensure your manufacturing facility is safeguarded by our range of flexible energy solutions, including diesel gensets, CHP solutions, and hybrid energy solutions, and lock in power protection for your assets by connecting with our global network of local dealers dedicated to supporting your success.

 

Why is Standby Power Important for Manufacturing?

of

Minimizing Production Stoppage

Manufacturing processes often involve complex, interconnected machinery where even a brief power interruption can lead to significant delays, spoiled products, and lost productivity. 

of

Protecting Sensitive Equipment

High-tech manufacturing equipment can be damaged by sudden power fluctuations. Standby power helps to stabilize voltage and prevent damage during power outages. 

of

Maintaining Safety Systems

Critical safety features like emergency lighting, ventilation systems, and alarms require uninterrupted power to function properly, which is ensured by a standby power system. 

of

Data Integrity

Manufacturing processes often rely on real-time data monitoring and control systems, which can be compromised if power is lost. Standby power ensures data continuity. 

of

Meeting Regulatory Compliance

Certain industries have strict regulations regarding operational continuity during power outages, which can be met by having a reliable standby power system.
