For decades, maintenance has followed the calendar... But is that really the smartest approach?

The ABB SACE Emax 3 takes a different path.

With built-in predictive maintenance capabilities, Emax 3 continuously monitors operating conditions, environmental factors and equipment usage to help predict when maintenance is actually needed.

Rather than waiting for something to fail or performing unnecessary servicing, your team can:

✔ Reduce unexpected downtime
✔ Schedule maintenance around operations
✔ Use maintenance resources more effectively
✔ Address issues before they become costly repairs

The result is greater reliability, lower maintenance costs and improved service continuity across your electrical system.

Because the future of maintenance isn't reactive. It's predictive.

Say goodbye to manual emergency lighting testing👋👋

No more climbing ladders, test switches or clipboards. Connect your fittings, sync with Lightlinx, schedule your tests, and manage everything automatically from one system.

It's really that simple... DM us to chat to our team & find out more!

At the end of August, we welcomed 14 engineers from Consolidated Power Projects (CPP) to our Wetherill Park office for a hands-on training session focused on our Hirschmann industrial networking solutions.

The session combined practical activities with real-world examples, helping participants build their knowledge of reliable and secure communication networks used across Australia's energy infrastructure.

It was a fantastic opportunity to work alongside the CPP team and support the ongoing development of engineers who play a key role in powering Australia's future.

CPP is a leader in Australia's energy transition, delivering major infrastructure projects across the country and helping drive the growth of renewable energy and battery storage solutions.

A big thank you to the CPP team for their enthusiasm and engagement throughout the day. We're proud to partner with organisations that are helping strengthen the critical infrastructure Australians rely on every day.

Many emergency lighting systems are overdesigned, increasing project costs, installation complexity & long-term maintenance obligations.

Join us on Oct 21st as we explore how AS/NZS 2293.1 supports calculation-based emergency lighting design and why this approach is becoming an increasingly valuable tool for engineers seeking better project outcomes.

Last month, we had a great time at the Cloud & Datacenter Convention in Sydney!

Our team enjoyed connecting with the attendees and presenting our full data centre Group offer with CMI Electrical

On display we had Emax 3, Powerduct Busduct, CMI Electrical's extensive cable range and more on show, demonstrating our end-to-end solutions to maximise uptime and efficiency for data centre projects.

This event was a great way to connect with everyone in the industry and we already look forward to next year! 😉
