In healthcare environments, reliability of facility power systems takes on an added degree of importance. If the power goes out, critical research and the lives of patients are potentially at risk.

The Challenge

• Maintaining a power infrastructure that spans 5 million square feet (464,500 square metres) of hospital and healthcare research space with limited resources.

• Sending on-site staff to go out and physically measure, survey and perform preventive maintenance on over 26,000 pieces of equipment is costly and time intensive.
