Reliable operation of critical installations
Land-based facilities depend on stable and predictable operation. Hospitals, data centers, industry, power and grid facilities, as well as road and tunnel infrastructure, place strict demands on uptime. Anda-Olsen delivers aftermarket services that ensure UPS systems, rectifiers, batteries, and monitoring operate without interruption. The goal is high availability, low operating costs, and safe operation throughout the entire lifecycle.
Common principles within aftermarket services
The aftermarket follows the same fundamental principles across all onshore segments:
- Real-time monitoring of UPS systems, modules, and batteries
- Rapid fault detection and clear status reporting
- Preventive maintenance to reduce downtime
- Extension of equipment lifetime through structured service intervals
- Spare parts and support for Multi Power 2, NXE, Sentryum, DCPro, Eltek/Delta, and small UPS systems
- Service agreements adapted to the criticality of the installation
This provides high operational reliability and predictable service costs.
Typical setup for land-based aftermarket services
A typical aftermarket system includes:
- UPS: Multi Power 2, MultiPower, NXE, Sentryum
- DC systems: DCPro, DCPro Compact, Flatpack, Rectiverter, Smartpack
- Batteries: OPzV, OPzS, lithium, AGM/GEL
- Rack-mounted UPS systems and smaller systems for ICT and building automation
- Integration with BMS, SCADA, and operational systems
- Monitoring via monitoring platforms or local interfaces
This provides full control over all critical components in the installation.
Real-time monitoring
Real-time data provides insight into status, load, temperature, and battery capacity. This contributes to:
- Early identification of faults
- Better assessments of load and capacity
- Rapid response to abnormal operating conditions
The monitoring provides assurance that the system is always ready when the power fails.
Monitoring of batteries and UPS systems is an available option for our UPS solutions. The solution can be delivered both as part of the sales process and as an add-on in the aftermarket phase.
The service can be adapted to both new and existing installations, depending on requirements and technical configuration. This makes it possible to establish monitoring when appropriate, either at the time of new installation or as part of ongoing follow-up throughout the system’s lifetime.
Predictive maintenance
By following operational trends and component data, future faults can be anticipated. Benefits include:
- Planned maintenance instead of unexpected shutdowns
- Reduced risk of failures in critical installations
- Improved resource utilization and lower operating costs
This is particularly relevant for modular UPS systems (Multi Power 2, MultiPower) and DC solutions in power and grid installations.
Battery management
Batteries are one of the most important components in an onshore emergency power system. Proper maintenance provides higher operational reliability. We support:
- Lead-acid: OPzV and OPzS for power, industry, and healthcare buildings
- Lithium for high cycle stability and low operating costs
- AGM/GEL for building automation, ICT, and technical rooms
- Testing, capacity measurement, and recommended replacement timing
Good battery management reduces the risk of operational interruptions.
Operational reliability in demanding environments
Onshore installations face different challenges:
- Data centers: variable load and high power density
- Hospitals: 24/7 operation, cold start, black start
- Tunnels and roads: long cable runs and high inrush currents
- Power and grid: redundant DC systems and critical communication
- Industry: poor grid quality, motor starters, and uneven load
The aftermarket evaluates these conditions in each service agreement.
Service and maintenance
Service agreements include:
- Inspection of UPS modules and electronics
- Testing of bypass, static switch, and monitoring
- Analysis of log data and load profiles
- Cleaning and inspection of cooling systems
- Battery checks and recommendations for renewal
- Firmware updates and configuration adjustments
- Rapid response in the event of faults
This contributes to predictable and safe operation throughout the lifetime of the installation.
Takeaway
Land-based installations require an aftermarket setup that ensures high uptime and stable operation. Real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, good battery routines, and service agreements adapted to each segment provide assurance for data centers, hospitals, industry, tunnel facilities, and critical infrastructure. Anda-Olsen delivers aftermarket services for the entire value chain; from UPS and DC systems to batteries and monitoring.
