Motors, Drives & Generators – Installed Base Visibility That Pays Back
What is installed base visibility for Low voltage drives and MV Drives and why is it important?
Installed base visibility refers to a manufacturer’s ability to know where each motor, drive or generator is located, who owns it, when it was installed, and, possibly, under what conditions it operates.
Better installed base visibility means more machines with manufacturers’ service agreements, leading to optimal lifetime performance and less unplanned downtime.
Wisechain helps manufacturers of motors, drives, and generators track their assets automatically from factory to final site, without the need for input from system integratos or for online registration by the final owner.
Why Installed Base Visibility Matters in the industrial automation sector
Most industrial OEMs lose track of their equipment after shipment:
Motors are resold, repurposed, or commissioned by partners.
Drives are integrated into larger systems without feedback to the OEM.
Generators are installed off-grid, on ships, or by third-party EPCs.
Without accurate tracking of installation and ownership, manufacturers:
Miss out on aftermarket revenue (parts, service, upgrades)
Have no reliable CRM data for lifecycle marketing
Can’t deliver data-driven service or warranty support
Wisechain Enables
Automatic asset registration (location, ownership, installation date)
Real-time condition tracking (shock, temperature, humidity, pressure)
Data integration with Salesforce or other CRMs
Systematic service opportunity generation and increased sales accountability
Aftermarket campaign targeting based on real-world events
Support for service contract activation and lifecycle services
Installed base visibility for medium voltage drives, MV Drives, motors and generators means knowing where your assets are, who owns them, and when they were deployed or commissioned.
Wisechain automates this process using tracking sensors and AI-powered ownership registration, helping manufacturers grow aftermarket revenue and improve service delivery.
Installed base visibility becomes traceability for assets, enabling large-scale circularity programs.
Q: How does Wisechain register ownership without customer input?
A: Wisechain devices send their position every hour when on the move and once a day when immobile. A prolonged immobility signals that the current location has a high probability of corresponding to the owner of the machine.
Ownership is inferred through AI-powered analysis of a combination of parameters including time, location, asset type, ownership type, asset use case type and ownership activity type.
