How resilient is your critical infrastructure? 🤔

A single point of failure can impact safety, productivity, compliance and operational performance. As industrial environments become more connected, resilience must be built into every layer of infrastructure.

Join our upcoming webinar, on the 12th of November as our experts discuss practical strategies for improving reliability across power, communications, automation and computing systems.

Emergency luminaires have one job... to turn on when all else fails.

Testing fittings use to be tedious. With remembering to conduct the test on time every 6 months, with all batteries charge & meticulous record keeping of the logs on file. Those days are long gone... the Wireless Basic system we supply from RP Group, the luminaires writes its own data, tests itself on schedule and holds records of every result for 5 years!

Now's the time to ask, what fitting supports your project and efficiency better?

We know our answer. Get in contact with our team to discuss: https://www.ipd.com.au/contact-us

As electrical infrastructure comes under increasing pressure from data centres, electrification and renewable energy systems, engineers must balance safety, compliance and reliability in more complex operating environments.

Join this Industry Partners Series event to explore practical approaches to switchboard design, including arc flash mitigation, fault protection, internal arc containment and compliance with AS/NZS 61439. Learn how modern protection technologies can help improve resilience, minimise downtime and protect critical assets.

For decades, maintenance has followed the calendar... But is that really the smartest approach?

The ABB SACE Emax 3 takes a different path.

With built-in predictive maintenance capabilities, Emax 3 continuously monitors operating conditions, environmental factors and equipment usage to help predict when maintenance is actually needed.

Rather than waiting for something to fail or performing unnecessary servicing, your team can:

✔ Reduce unexpected downtime
✔ Schedule maintenance around operations
✔ Use maintenance resources more effectively
✔ Address issues before they become costly repairs

The result is greater reliability, lower maintenance costs and improved service continuity across your electrical system.

Because the future of maintenance isn't reactive. It's predictive.

At the end of August, we welcomed 14 engineers from Consolidated Power Projects (CPP) to our Wetherill Park office for a hands-on training session focused on our Hirschmann industrial networking solutions.

The session combined practical activities with real-world examples, helping participants build their knowledge of reliable and secure communication networks used across Australia's energy infrastructure.

It was a fantastic opportunity to work alongside the CPP team and support the ongoing development of engineers who play a key role in powering Australia's future.

CPP is a leader in Australia's energy transition, delivering major infrastructure projects across the country and helping drive the growth of renewable energy and battery storage solutions.

A big thank you to the CPP team for their enthusiasm and engagement throughout the day. We're proud to partner with organisations that are helping strengthen the critical infrastructure Australians rely on every day.
