Introduction

A reliable power distribution system is an essential element of any manufacturing or industrial facility. Unfortunately, traditional pipe & wire systems don’t have the flexibility to handle quick changes in layout and machinery on the factory floor. When manufacturers must move, add, or replace machines or reconfigure assembly lines, they must often reconfigure electrical conduit and wiring to bring power to the machines in their new locations, or to support increased power loads. These types of changes are often expensive and time-consuming, resulting in downtime for the machines and lost profits due to lower productivity. Track busways offer an innovative alternative for power distribution that is ideal for today’s manufacturing and industrial production environments.
