Compatio AI Introduces VFD System Configurator for Industrial Automation

Streamlining VFD System Selection and Configuration

Compatio AI, a pioneer in product configuration and recommendation solutions, has launched a groundbreaking innovation: the VFD System Configurator Model. Designed specifically for distributors and manufacturers in the industrial automation industry, this advanced model is the first to be released on the Compatio Configure platform. It streamlines the process of selecting and configuring Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and all necessary components for a complete, compatible system.

The Challenge of VFD System Configuration

Variable Frequency Drives are indispensable in industrial applications for controlling motor speed and torque. However, selecting the right VFD and ensuring its compatibility with other system components can be complex and time-consuming. The Compatio VFD System Configurator Model simplifies this process by guiding users through product selection with accurate, real-time recommendations driven by Highly Technical Guided Selling.

Compatio AI’s Solution

Tim Baynes, Founder and CEO of Compatio AI, stated,

“We understand the complexities of configuring VFD systems. Our solution ensures that both the VFD and its associated components work together seamlessly, taking the guesswork out of system configuration and helping users build complete, reliable systems.”

Real Intelligence™ Powers the VFD System Configurator Model

At the heart of the VFD System Configurator Model is Compatio’s Product eXpert Engine, which combines configurator logic, precise data, human expertise, and predictive technology. This powerful combination, known as Real Intelligence™, enables users to make accurate, compatible product choices by tapping into decades of encoded industry knowledge.

Highly Technical Guided Selling for Precise Recommendations

Through the Highly Technical Guided Selling approach, users are guided step-by-step in selecting the best-fit VFD and supporting components, including:

• Circuit Protection (fuses, circuit breakers)
• Line Reactors
• Brake Resistors
• And more.

The result is a fully compatible system designed to meet the customer’s unique application requirements.

Clarifying the Role of the Configurator

It’s important to note that the VFD System Configurator Model is designed to assist with:

• VFD product selection
• System component compatibility

However, it does not configure or set up the operational parameters or application settings of AC drives. Instead, it ensures that the selected products work together seamlessly within a broader system.

Empowering Industrial Automation Distributors

For distributors in the industrial automation space, this model is a game-changer. Whether for sales teams with less technical experience or seasoned technical experts, the configurator empowers all users to confidently recommend and configure complete VFD systems. Key benefits include:

• Reduced errors
• Increased sales efficiency
• Enhanced overall customer experience

Additionally, distributors can prioritize in-stock items, reducing lead times and boosting customer satisfaction.

Industry Connections and Future Events

Compatio AI will be exhibiting at the AHTD Fall Meeting in Bellevue, WA, from October 16-18, 2024, showcasing its latest solutions. This event provides an excellent opportunity for attendees to experience live demonstrations of the VFD System Configurator Model and discuss how Compatio AI can help drive efficiency and innovation for distributors and manufacturers in the industrial automation sector.

Furthermore, Compatio AI will attend:

• Pack Expo in Chicago, IL from November 3-6, 2024
• SPS (Smart Production Solutions) 2024 Expo in Nuremberg, Germany, from November 14-16, 2024

Compatio’s team will be available at both events to meet with those interested in learning more about the VFD System Configurator Model and other advanced solutions.

Nathan Waters, Director of Industry Solutions at Compatio AI, expressed:

“We’re looking forward to connecting with industry leaders and showcasing how our Real Intelligence™ and Product eXpert Engine are transforming the way businesses approach VFD system configuration. Our solutions are fast to implement, cost-effective, and designed to drive real value for businesses in the industrial automation sector.”
