MEMS Case Studies
Automotive Power Resilience
When a transformer fire caused a major outage, a leading global automotive supplier turned to MEMS for emergency power for a rapid and effective solution. Within hours, MEMS deployed high-capacity generators to restore power, ensuring minimal disruption and enabling the client to continue operations seamlessly.
Hospital Standby Power
A backup failure at one of the UK’s leading independent healthcare providers required an immediate resolution. A power outage in a hospital environment can be devastating.
Premier League Stadium
A transformer fault left a Premier League stadium in the North West without power less than 48 hours before a major home fixture. MEMS designed, delivered, and commissioned a full stadium power solution, three 1250 kVA generators, 2500 kVA parallel supply, and an onsite technician throughout matchday.
