Schneider Electric mitigates motor downtime in aging facilities

Published

By

Schneider Electric’s new TeSys Tera intelligent motor management system, available at RS, combines real-time data and advanced diagnostics to cut energy costs, reduce the impact of skilled labor shortages, and prevent unexpected downtime.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — RS, a high-service global product and service solutions provider for industrial customers, offers Schneider Electric’s new TeSys Tera intelligent motor management system. Engineered to modernize aging plant infrastructure, TeSys Tera form-fits into standalone control cabinets and intelligent motor control center (iMCC) panel buckets — adding digital intelligence to legacy pumps, fans, and motor drives and enabling a seamless transition from reactive troubleshooting to predictive maintenance.

TeSys Tera reduces unplanned downtime by 30–50% and cuts power consumption by up to 20% in aging industrial plants.

Unexpected motor failures and rising power costs create significant challenges for industrial operators, and especially those with aging facilities. The average cost of downtime across all manufacturing sectors is currently $260,000 per hour, electric motor systems account for 36–86% of all electricity consumed across industries, and more than half of U.S. industrial plants are 30–60 years old. The new TeSys Tera intelligent motor management system addresses these pressures by replacing hardwired electromechanical starters with connected, intelligent control nodes. This continuous digital visibility empowers industrial operators to reduce unplanned downtime by 30–50% and cut power consumption by up to 20%.

Designed to safeguard critical motor-driven assets, TeSys Tera delivers real-time digital protection, continuous health monitoring, and predictive analytics for AC induction motors up to 810A. Key technical capabilities and operational advantages include:

Comprehensive motor protection and diagnostics: Tracks real-time voltage, current, power factor, and thermal capacity while providing advanced protection against ground faults, phase loss, and stalled or locked rotors

Predictive pre-trip alarming: Uses intelligent algorithms to detect subtle operational anomalies days or weeks before failures occur, reducing the likelihood of unplanned downtime and enabling maintenance teams to resolve issues during planned service windows

Process continuity: Automatically restores equipment operation after power interruptions and trims non-essential motor usage during peak demand periods to protect power quality and reduce energy costs

Modular, retrofit-ready design: Features a compact, modular architecture that physically isolates power and control functions, simplifies installation and maintenance in existing systems, and adds digital intelligence without full infrastructure replacements

Seamless cross-platform connectivity: Replaces proprietary vendor lock-in with native EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP and Modbus Serial, PROFIBUS, and PROFINET support, paired with free Schneider Electric SoMove software for open PLC integration

“Conventional motor control setups act as simple switches that offer virtually no visibility into what’s occurring inside the motor during operation,” said George Nellikunnel, Offer Manager at Schneider Electric. “TeSys Tera functions as a smart translation layer between physical equipment and digital software ecosystems. It turns raw electrical currents into actionable edge diagnostics that empower overburdened maintenance teams to verify conditions remotely, streamline technician dispatch, and eliminate unnecessary service calls.”

TeSys Tera is ideal for new continuous process facilities, iMCC retrofits, and demanding heavy-duty applications across the oil and gas, mining, chemical, pharmaceutical, water and wastewater, packaging, and discrete manufacturing industries.

LexisNexis Risk Solutions Launches Accurint One, Reimagining the Future of Law Enforcement Investigations

Published

By

New platform unites authoritative data, advanced analytics, and governed AI in a single investigative environment built for modern law enforcement

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LexisNexis® Risk Solutions today announced the launch of Accurint One™, a new law enforcement technology platform that integrates critical data, advanced analytics, and governed artificial intelligence in a unified environment designed to transform how agencies investigate and act on information.

Investigators have access to more information than ever, but too often it remains scattered across agency systems, national databases, commercial sources, and separate technologies. Accurint One delivers those resources within the investigation, helping users begin with what they know, discover relevant connections, corroborate information, eliminate false leads, and build a clearer picture of a case without continually moving between disconnected systems.

“Law enforcement is fighting 21st-century crime with an investigative technology model largely built in the 20th century,” said Haywood Talcove, CEO, LexisNexis Risk Solutions Government. “Accurint One represents a fundamental break from that model. We have brought data, analytics, and artificial intelligence together for the investigator instead of forcing the investigator to work around the technology. This is not about giving law enforcement another tool. It is about providing investigators a fundamentally better way to build a case.”

Built specifically for U.S. criminal justice agencies and developed in partnership with those who serve, Accurint One combines LexisNexis Risk Solutions data, connected partner data, and an agency’s own information in a single investigative environment. The platform’s integrated capabilities support searching, case collaboration, mapping, link analysis, analytics, and investigative timelines, while AI-supported capabilities can summarize records and analyze relationship networks to identify connections.

The power of artificial intelligence creates an equally significant responsibility for how it is developed and used, particularly in criminal justice. LexisNexis Risk Solutions keeps trained professionals at the center of decision-making. AI can help organize information, identify patterns, and surface connections, but authorized users remain responsible for interpreting that information and deciding what action should follow.

From Searching to Knowing to Acting
Accurint One helps move law enforcement beyond searching separate systems and assembling an investigative picture one piece at a time. The platform integrates the information and technology for the investigator, turning fragmentation into clarity and providing agencies a more powerful way to move from a question to actionable insight.

The future of public safety will depend on how quickly and responsibly agencies can turn information into understanding and understanding into action. Accurint One was built for that future, giving law enforcement the clarity and confidence to act when it matters most and better protect the communities they serve.

To learn more or request a demonstration, visit the Accurint One product page.

Expanded Summit Portfolio Reflects the Industry’s Most Urgent Challenges and Creates New Opportunities for Cross-Sector Collaboration

ATLANTA, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — DTECH®, the leading event for transmission and distribution professionals, today announced the debut of two new executive-focused summits taking place alongside DTECH® 2027 in Atlanta: the Data Center Leadership Summit and the Wildfire & Resiliency Strategy Summit.

Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/dtech/9402852-en-dtech-2027-launches-two-new-industry-leadership-summits

The new summits build upon the success of two existing DTECH® events while bringing their communities directly into the industry’s largest gathering of utility, technology, infrastructure, and energy leaders. The standalone DTECH® Data Centers & AI event will evolve into the Data Center Leadership Summit, while the former DTECH® Reliability & Resiliency event will become the Wildfire & Resiliency Strategy Summit, both taking place on Thursday, March 4, 2027, as official DTECH® summit programs available as an add-on purchased through your registration pass.

As electric utilities face unprecedented challenges driven by explosive data center growth, artificial intelligence adoption, extreme weather events, and increasing reliability demands, industry leaders require more collaborative forums to develop solutions. By integrating these communities into DTECH®, attendees gain access to broader expertise, expanded networking opportunities, and greater visibility into the technologies and partnerships shaping the future of the grid.

The Data Center Leadership Summit

The Data Center Leadership Summit brings together leaders from utilities, energy, data centers, AI, digital infrastructure, investment firms, technology providers, and government organizations to address one of the defining challenges of the modern economy: how to power, scale, and strengthen the next generation of data centers.

Designed as an executive-focused forum, the summit will feature a full day of strategic programming, executive discussions, networking opportunities, and technical sessions covering topics including large-load interconnection, grid reliability and resilience, investment trends, community engagement, emerging technologies, and the future of digital infrastructure.

The move reflects the growing convergence between utilities, technology companies, developers, and investors as AI-driven demand reshapes energy markets and grid planning. Bringing the summit into DTECH® creates a centralized destination for these stakeholders to connect, collaborate, and develop solutions together.

The Wildfire & Resiliency Strategy Summit

The Wildfire & Resiliency Strategy Summit will convene utility executives, emergency preparedness leaders, grid operations professionals, reliability experts, technology providers, consultants, and public-sector stakeholders focused on strengthening utility resilience strategies.

Previously offered as a standalone reliability and resiliency event, the summit will retain its highly focused community while creating new opportunities to engage with the broader DTECH® audience. Programming will explore wildfire mitigation, extreme weather preparedness, situational awareness, emergency response, infrastructure hardening, operational readiness, and long-term resilience planning.

As weather-related threats continue to challenge electric systems across North America, the summit provides a dedicated environment for utility professionals and industry partners to exchange lessons learned, share best practices, and collaborate on strategies that strengthen grid reliability and resiliency.

Why the Change?

The energy industry is experiencing a period of unprecedented transformation. The rapid expansion of AI and data center infrastructure is driving historic load growth, while utilities simultaneously face increasing risks from wildfires, extreme weather, and other reliability challenges. Addressing these issues requires collaboration across organizations, sectors, and disciplines.

By bringing both events into the DTECH® experience, attendees can participate in highly focused summit discussions while also benefiting from access to DTECH®’s broader conference programming, exhibition, technology showcase, and industry community.

“The challenges facing our industry today are larger, more interconnected, and more consequential than ever before,” said Wayne Bishop, Executive Vice President of Energy for DTECH®. “The future of data centers, artificial intelligence, grid reliability, resilience, and infrastructure investment cannot be addressed in isolation. By bringing these communities together under the DTECH® umbrella, we’re creating stronger opportunities for collaboration, accelerating innovation, and ensuring that leaders across the energy ecosystem can engage in the conversations that will shape the future of our industry.”

Summit Schedule

Both summits will take place on Thursday, March 4, 2027, from 9:15 AM – 5:00 PM, during DTECH® 2027 in Atlanta.

The Data Center Leadership Summit will feature a full day of executive and technical programming, including keynote discussions, industry panels, networking sessions, technology-focused presentations, and strategic conversations on data center growth and grid modernization.

The Wildfire & Resiliency Strategy Summit will offer a concentrated agenda of executive perspectives, utility case studies, technical discussions, and peer networking opportunities focused on helping utilities prepare for and respond to today’s evolving reliability and resilience risks.
