Fischer Block helps our industrial and utility customers improve energy reliability though innovative solutions. Our patented Internet of Things (IoT) edge device mechanically connects to existing electromechanical and microprocessor based relays and MCC panels in minutes without disrupting plant operations.
Continuous waveform data collection and digitization enables us to provide high-resolution waveform visibility, and a full suite of innovative predictive analytical applications and services.
Our patented approach dramatically reduces cyber security risks by having no ability to command breakers to open, thus decoupling data capture / visualization from control.
Non-intrusive installations, combined with decoupled control and the ability to upgrade remotely, facilitate dynamic solutions where incremental value can be easily and continuously added as new analytic technologies, algorithms, techniques, and applications are incorporated into the solution. This effectively “future proofs” our customers’ investment in Fischer Block and drives a sustained competitive advantage.
