Keep Production Rolling. Back Up Power for Power Reliability

Most food production companies in Ireland are in rural areas, where power quality can often be less reliable. Facilities and IT Managers sometimes overlook the power quality issue, assuming the supply will stay stable. But disruptions don’t have to be "just part of the deal" for rural areas—solutions like Uninterruptible Power Supply System (UPS) systems can help keep operations running smoothly, even with an unpredictable grid.

Without proper filtering or surge protection, production systems can face frequent disruptions. One of our customers, a rural fresh egg supplier, dealt with frequent interruptions in their sorting and grading equipment due to unstable power. Each pause needed a manual reset, slowing down production and causing costly delays. By installing the right UPS system, we helped them save around £50,000 a year by keeping their operations smooth and reliable.

We recommend making sure that your UPS is not only stabilizing the power but is also up to the job. Here are a few things to check: Do you have a UPS? Is it the right size? Is it protecting the critical production equipment, not just your IT systems? Have you noticed anyone complaining about how power blips disrupt their work?

Some people worry that the cost of the equipment and maintenance isn't worth the hassle. However, we work with some of the largest food production companies in Ireland, and they’ve seen significant savings due to reduced downtime after installing and maintaining the right UPS system. When budgets are tight and upfront costs are hard to justify, another option is asset financing, with possible grants available from Invest NI.

Correctly sizing and installing UPS systems safeguard food production from power disruptions. Proper planning reduces stress, downtime, and costs, with asset financing options available. Your first step it to identify pain points from your team. Knowing where disruptions are happening will guide where to focus power protection.
