Industrial & Mining
When your operation depends on continuous power, your cable connections shouldn't be your weakest link.
The Stakes
Industrial facilities and mining operations depend on reliable medium-voltage power distribution for production continuity, equipment operation, and safety systems. The cable splices and terminations connecting switchgear, motors, and distribution systems are critical reliability points — often installed in demanding environments and accessed infrequently.
Heavy industry has seen a fourfold increase in downtime costs over a five-year period. In mining, trailing cables and distribution system connections face mechanical stress, contamination, and thermal cycling that accelerate degradation. Production delays during cable repair can cascade across operations.
These environments share a common challenge: cable connection points that are critical to operations, difficult to access for inspection, and operating under conditions that accelerate failure. Continuous monitoring provides visibility that periodic inspection programs cannot match.

•Built for downhole and underground mining splice infrastructure
Mining operations rely heavily on cable splices because their power infrastructure is constantly relocating to follow active faces. Those splices are the highest-failure-risk components in environments where every outage halts production.
•Fixed plant and substation monitoring
For heavy industrial facilities and mining surface infrastructure — fixed substations, distribution feeds, conveyor and ventilation power — where unplanned outages cascade across entire production lines.
•Tied to production-continuity economics
Heavy industry has seen a 4x increase in downtime costs over five years. Continuous monitoring shifts unplanned outages into planned maintenance windows that fit existing shutdown schedules.
•Supporting electrical safety programs
Continuous insulation health data complements arc-flash and electrical-safety programs by providing visibility into degradation before it becomes a safety event — not just a reliability one.
