The right data view, from anywhere

When BASF built a new electrical substation, it implemented EcoCare* for remote visibility into operations. The largest chemical company in the world now has a consolidated view of data from anywhere, anytime, and the expert support needed to respond to critical-asset upkeep.

BASF wanted to build a new power distribution substation at its Beaumont, Texas plant.
BASF sought to be an industry leader in leveraging data-driven services and remote monitoring to maximise plant uptime and productivity.
A single, IIoT-enabled solution was put in place, providing visibility on the health of the site's prime electrical-distribution assets.

Apps, Analytics & Services: EcoCare*

Edge Control: EcoStruxure Power Monitoring Expert

Connected Products: Low- and medium-voltage switchgear, TeSys™ motor control systems, UPS units, DC battery, and variable frequency drives

Schneider Electric helped build Substation 6, adding low- and medium-voltage switchgear, motor control systems, UPS units, variable frequency drives, and more.
BASF implemented EcoCare* to continuously collect and analyse data on the health of these assets and to enable visibility on that data from anywhere.
Through its partnership with the Schneider Electric Services Bureau, BASF gets customised advice and proactive recommendations to prevent failure and optimise maintenance strategies.

Over 100 variables get measured and computed through EcoCare* to provide accurate and reliable condition-monitoring for the Beaumont plant.
BASF can now remotely monitor “the pulse” of its new substation assets through their customer dashboard that provides a global health index and specific asset status.
EcoCare* enables more predictable asset performance, helping BASF to prevent catastrophic failures, improve plant safety and increase operational efficiency.
