Schneider Electric East Africa has introduced the TeSys Deca Advanced, a smart, reliable, and energy-efficient motor control solution designed to help industrial businesses simplify operations and reduce costly downtime. The launch was held for Schneider Electric’s valued channel partners.

Tailored for Tough Industrial Environments

The new TeSys Deca Advanced is built for robust industrial settings, including manufacturing, mining, minerals and metals (MMM), HVAC, water and wastewater (WWW) treatment, and packaging. By enabling businesses to run more efficiently and sustainably, this solution helps cut energy use and improve uptime.

A key feature is Schneider Electric’s patented wide-band coil technology, which supports a broad range of voltage inputs (24V to 500V AC/DC). This ensures stability and reliability, even in areas with fluctuating power conditions.

Key Benefits & Applications

Manufacturing and Packaging: Streamlines operations through predictive maintenance and simplified installation.

HVAC Systems: Reduces carbon footprint by up to 69% while optimizing energy consumption.

MMM and WWW: Provides robust motor control in demanding, harsh environments.

Elevators and Hoisting: Ensures smooth, uninterrupted performance in critical infrastructure.

“At Schneider Electric, we’re committed to bringing real-world innovation to our customers,” said Geraldine Sande (pictured), Channel Sales Leader at Schneider Electric East Africa. “The TeSys Deca Advanced offers a simpler way to manage motors in tough environments. It saves time, cuts energy use, and improves uptime—all of which are essential for our customers across East Africa.”

Faster Installation and Smarter Performance

The TeSys Deca Advanced is designed for ease of use. Its one-click wiring system and user-friendly layout can reduce installation time by up to 75% compared to traditional models. This makes wiring and maintenance more straightforward and reduces the need for highly specialized skills.

The device can also be connected directly to a PLC (programmable logic controller), simplifying setup and streamlining inventory management by reducing the number of components needed.

The TeSys Deca Advanced also includes real-time diagnostics, which allows teams to monitor performance and catch issues early, significantly reducing the risk of unplanned downtime.

Key Technical Highlights

Wide-Band Coil Technology: Supports 24V to 500V AC/DC inputs for stability under voltage fluctuations.

Direct PLC Control: Eliminates the need for intermediate relays or devices.

Simplified Wiring: A three-layer design improves visibility and organization during installation.

Predictive Maintenance: Built-in diagnostics enable condition-based servicing.

Reduced Inventory: One device replaces multiple SKUs, simplifying stock management.
