Efficient and uninterrupted operation of critical assets is paramount in the food and beverage manufacturing industry.
On 23 August, MOVUS’ monitoring system identified an alarm from a FitPower installed on a condenser pump at a food and beverage manufacturing site. The alarm flagged a substantial spike in current, which prompted the MOVUS team to investigate further.

Upon MOVUS reaching out to the customer, it was confirmed that the plant had experienced a significant power surge, which tripped the pump motor.
Fault Detected
This incident highlighted the importance of condition-based monitoring for assets vulnerable to electrical fluctuations. FitPower detected the unexpected surge in real time—an anomaly that traditional monitoring methods might not have captured quickly enough to prevent operational disruptions. FitPower’s continuous tracking enabled the team to respond swiftly, avoiding potential unplanned downtime and prompting a closer investigation.

The early detection enabled by FitPower allowed the client to mitigate immediate downtime by identifying the cause of the power surge. While the customer is arranging for a technician to perform a comprehensive investigation and repairs, the initial FitPower alert helped the team take preventive steps, reducing the risk of a more prolonged outage.
The Result
The successful deployment of FitPower has provided the customer with an enhanced understanding of the asset’s condition and highlighted the value of continuous monitoring.

Key outcomes include:
Timely Intervention – Early detection of the power surge, preventing immediate downtime. Improved Asset Awareness – Real-time insights have encouraged the team to proactively address potential issues. Cost Avoidance – The client avoided immediate downtime, which, if prolonged, could have impacted production schedules and incurred additional costs.
