Case Study..
FaraDigm Short Duration UPS
Textile OEM supplies Regular Battery Based Online UPS
along with Equipment
End User has to invest in Battery Replacement every 2-3
years, approx. Rs 60-70k / UPS
Actual Need is for 15-30 seconds (and not 15-30
minutes) as Safe Shutdown / Diesel Gen Sets are
available as backup Scope for Innovation !!
Short Duration Battery Less UPS offers 10 Year Lifetime,
with 3 Year ROI, Compact, Low Footprint, Weight,
Portability, WYSIWYG Solution.

Case Study

BTS 2000 Fast Bus Transfer System

Helps avoid Power Cuts, Loss of Revenue,
Process Downtime, Material Wastage,
Equipment Stress, Personnel Anxieties and
Safety Hazards
Potentially Single Operation ROI !
