Every Transformer Reaches Its Site. But Where is the Data?
Even with full control of manufacturing and commissioning, OEMs often lack real-time visibility into the transformer’s journey.
Wisechain tracks power transformers during shipment and storage and closes that visibility gap with AI and sensor-enabled tracking, condition logging, and shared project visibility.
Track your transformers from factory to storage and on to their final location
Why Power Transformers Need full Factory to Site Shipment Tracking
Manufacturers of power transformers handle the entire chain: design, production, shipment, and commissioning. Yet key moments often go undocumented or delayed:
Pressure in an oil tank during shipping
Route deviation or rough handling en route to site
Assets placed in long-term backup storage with no lifecycle trace
Mobile substations moving without central oversight
For utility customers, project managers are left guessing:
Has the asset arrived?
Was it stored correctly?
Are we safe to energize?
What Wisechain Tracks for Power Transformer OEMs
Wisechain provides deep asset visibility across:
📍 Shipping route tracing – including handovers and transit stages
🧪 Live condition data – shock, g-force, temperature, oil tank pressure
🏷️ Installation timestamp + site registration
📄 Owner + project-level visibility – shared with utility teams
📊 Storage duration logging – incl. standby or reserve assets
🔁 Movement of mobile substations
All data is centralized and shared in real time, no need to chase EPCs, spreadsheets, or scattered field reports.
Use Cases – Power Transformers
| Use Case | Description |
|---|---|
| Multi-stage Global Shipments | Track transformers through multiple ports, handlers and transit hubs, with automated logging. |
| Storage Readiness and Risk | Know how long a unit has been in reserve or backup storage, and under what conditions. |
| Project Team Visibility | Give utility PMs and site teams live access to status, condition, and location, from factory to energization. |
| Compliance Documentation | Generate verified records of shock events, pressure variations and site commissioning. |
Power transformer OEMs manage production and commissioning directly, but need deeper visibility during shipment and long-term storage. Wisechain tracks routes, site arrival, oil tank pressure, and commissioning events, giving both OEM and utility teams full control across the transformer’s journey to its operation site.
Q: How can transformer OEMs track oil tank pressure and shock events during transit?
A: Wisechain uses BLE pressure sensors in combination with Bluetooth 4G GPS trackers. Paired at the factory, the devices keep track of every aspect of the shipment, log condition, and report data in real time, ensuring safe delivery and compliance validation.
Q: How can utility project managers access shipment and commissioning data?
A: Wisechain enables OEMs to share asset status, condition reports, and location with utility teams through Salesforce’s Experience, an external visibility portal dedicated to sharing information with clients
Q: Can Wisechain track mobile substations and long-term backup units?
A: Yes. Wisechain continues to monitor location and storage conditions even after installation, supporting full lifecycle visibility.
Tracking devices used in Power Transformer logistics can last up to 12 years in total autonomy.
