Retail Store Account Solutions @ Siemens

Challenges Facing Retailers in Expansion Mode
How to Build Stores, Increase Margins and Reduce Operating Costs when faced with:

Siemens can help!

Siemens Integrated Solution

The modular design of the Integrated Power System (IPS) Switchboard allows the user to integrate electrical distribution equipment such as panelboards, dry type transformers, power monitoring, lighting contactors and TVSS, that typically mount in multiple enclosures into one switchboard line-up.  By consolidating these components into an IPS Switchboard, the owner reaps the benefits of faster installation, smaller footprints, easier commissioning, and reduced material handling costs.

Reduced Installation Time
With this declining supply and increasing demand, it should be no surprise that qualified labor costs are on the rise.  Because the IPS switchboard arrives as a complete assembly with all components installed and wired at the factory, this labor requirement is eliminated.  Savings realized on installation result in lower labor costs which go directly to the bottom line.

Reduced Space Requirements
Space is extremely valuable to retailers. By integrating components that are typically individually mounted, IPS can reduce the space requirements for typical electrical equipment installations by up to 40%.  This smaller footprint frees up valuable square footage that can be utilized by a retailer to increase business.

Reduced Risk
IPS Switchboards are assembled at Siemens ISO 4000 manufacturing plants with meticulous attention to details reinforced with strict testing procedures.  This focus on quality ensures that problems encountered with traditional installations- such as misinterpretation of drawings or field installation errors, are eliminated.  Utilizing Siemens IPS eliminates risks, enabling projects to come in on time and on budget.

 
 

Energy Savings

Siemens i-3 Control Technology is simple cost-effective lighting control to reduce energy costs.  Easy set up via network, USB interface and integrated touch panel, enables the user to have a Siemens i-3 system up and running in minutes.  Easy installation saves on labor and associated costs.  In addition the modular design based on off-the shelf components saves on maintenance and provides flexibility for future system modifications. 

 

Value Engineering & Prototype Development

Siemens engineers will work with a retailer’s engineering staff or electrical consulting engineering firm to review current site electrical distribution system designs to look for opportunities to improve the system by integrating IPS Switchboards, Energy Management Solutions, and/or Power Quality Solutions.  These engineers will wok to develop a best solution prototype design that can be replicated for multiple sites.

 

Power Quality

Poor power can cause interruptions to electrical service, leading to chaos at a retail site.  Siemens engineers can work with building owners and engineering consultants to integrate Transient Voltage Surge Suppression and Isolation Transformers to improve the integrity of a retailers electrical distribution system. 

 

Single Point of Contact

Teaming with Siemens means that a retailer has one point of contact.  Whether the situation requires a special design to meet local codes, or an expedited delivery is needed for a particularly important project, teaming with Siemens ensures a single point of contact with a World Class company that is dedicated to meeting the retailer’s needs.
