Smart technology to drive T&M market

“SCOPE is aligned to the “Make in India” initiative by focusing on developing technology, applications and innovative concepts,” says Sanjay Kulkarni, Chairman, Scope T&M Pvt. Ltd.
SCOPE specialises in offering measuring solutions used in generation, transmission and distribution of power. In an exclusive interview with EPR, Sanjay Kulkarni gives an overview of the T&M industry highlighting the optimistic roadmap for his company.
What kind of demand is there for T&M products in the Indian market?T&M products are used into three main segments of power industry i.e. power generation, power transmission and power distribution. SCOPE is offering products and services to all these three segments and power distribution is been further divided into high voltage and low voltage. We are present in high voltage side and now in making foot mark in low voltage side.
The demand for T&M products for all these segments is increasing due to the fact that our generation, transmission and distribution are increasing every year. Add to that is a drive taken by our government in smart grid and smart cities. This will call for reliable and efficient operations of substation assets such as protection relays, transformers, circuit breakers, isolators, CTs & PTs, lightening arresters etc. and their 100 per cent availability in the grid. The only way to ensure this is to have full proof program is through periodic health check-up of these assets. So T&M products will always be in demand for next 20 years in our country.
Today customers expect T&M products not only to do the testing but also back up with software which can analyse the test data to figure it out, how much effective life the test object (DUT- Device under Test or Asset) has before it fails. An analytics of data which is accumulated over a period of time gives intelligent formation or instructions to the user such as what, when and how to take corrective action such as replacement or repair of these assets with minimal downtime.
