Factory Doubles Production With Critical Loop's Micro-Grid

Situation

When extreme weather led to an electrical fire that took out critical utility infrastructure, one West Coast factory attempted to run their entire manufacturing facility on a diesel generator. After discovering the diesel generator’s unstable power was causing equipment failure and facing an uncertain utility repair timeline, they reached out to Critical Loop for help.

Solution

Critical Loop deployed a temporary power system that enabled the factory to run its welders, CNC machines, and milling equipment that require stable power by pairing the factory’s existing generator with a Critical Loop smart switch gear, UL 3141 compliant controller, and battery.

Results

Critical Loop’s turnkey power solution enabled the factory to double production capacity, and cut fuel use, all while operating completely off-grid – saving them millions of dollars.
