Companies in the agri-food sector, especially those operating on an international scale, must ensure the operational continuity of their production plants. In contexts where every unexpected shutdown can compromise the entire processing and preservation cycle, power supply micro-outages represent a concrete threat to productivity and profitability.
This is the case of an important production facility in Southern Italy, part of a multinational leader in food processing and distribution, which decided to address the problem by adopting a cutting-edge technological solution.
OXYGEN ZERO 500KVA: A TAILORED SOLUTION FOR OPERATIONAL CONTINUITY
To eliminate micro-outages and ensure power stability in a strategic production line, an Oxygen Zero 500kVA system was installed. The choice of this equipment is no coincidence: it is a state-of-the-art device, designed by Ortea to act in real time on very short outages, without affecting the operation of sensitive loads.
The intervention concerned a single line as a pilot project, with the possibility of extending the solution to other production departments in case of positive results. A modular approach that demonstrates the versatility of Oxygen Zero technology for power continuity protection.
OXYGEN ZERO VS UPS: TECHNICAL AND OPERATIONAL ADVANTAGES
Unlike traditional UPS systems, Oxygen Zero does not use batteries: this results in lower maintenance costs, no special disposals, smaller footprint and greater long-term reliability.
Technology based on supercapacitors ensures ultra-fast response times, without the complexities and issues associated with chemical batteries.
These advantages make Ortea compensators a particularly suitable choice in industrial environments where operating conditions can be demanding and where unplanned maintenance must be minimised.

TECHNOLOGY FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY
Thanks to its high rated power and rapid response, Oxygen Zero can guarantee power supply continuity even in the presence of minor disturbances that are critical for modern industrial machines such as PLCs, inverters and automated control systems.
The installed equipment is equipped with advanced monitoring and diagnostics features, allowing the end user to have full control over power quality and system performance.
A FIRST STEP TOWARDS MORE RESILIENT PRODUCTION
This supply represents a significant step towards industrial resilience, with proactive protection of production infrastructures against electrical interruptions.
In a sector where plant availability is synonymous with competitiveness, adopting technologies such as Oxygen Zero is a strategic investment for operational safety and productivity.
Ortea Next once again confirms its commitment to developing customised technological solutions for the protection of operational continuity in industrial environments.
FAQ: POWER SUPPLY MICRO-OUTAGES AND OPERATIONAL CONTINUITY
What are power supply micro-outages and why are they a problem?
They are very short electrical interruptions (milliseconds/seconds) that can stop sensitive machines such as PLCs, inverters and control systems, causing plant downtime.
How does Oxygen Zero protect against the effects of micro-outages?
Thanks to supercapacitor technology, it acts in real time without batteries, ensuring power continuity and reducing the risk of production stoppages.
What advantages does Oxygen Zero have compared to a traditional UPS?
Lower maintenance costs, no batteries to dispose of, compact size, greater reliability and adaptability to harsh industrial conditions.
