From Isolated Equipment to Intelligent Systems

In conventional architectures, each device operates independently: the relay reacts to current or voltage, the PLC manages interlocks, and the SCADA only collects discrete signals.

Information exists — but it doesn’t flow with context. The result is a set of efficient yet fragmented islands, capable of reacting — but blind to why or what preceded the event.

• The connected architecture changes that. With continuous temperature and arc-flash sensors, interoperating via Modbus RTU/TCP, Ethernet, and IEC-61850, the panel starts to correlate thermal trends, load profiles, and criticality levels — triggering alerts before the event occurs.

It's the shift from reaction to prediction.

Varixx Radio Monitoring Sensor

Real Case: The Panel that Learned to Protect itself

In a chemical plant, a 480 V switchboard showed intermittent faults. After being instrumented with ZYGGOT® THM+ARC, a gradual heating trend was detected on one busbar. Through ZYGGOT Cloud, the system correlated the temperature rise and recommended inspection before failure — preventing downtime and production loss.

• Something impossible under a conventional model.

From Protection to Intelligence: The Varixx Approach

Varixx unites electrical protection and continuous monitoring. The ZYGGOT® platform combines sensors, industrial interfaces, and native connectivity to generate contextualized operational data, transforming each panel into an intelligent node of industrial infrastructure.

In practice, this means:

1. Failure prediction through machine learning

2. Dynamic maintenance integrated with EAM/CMMS platforms

3. Traceability and compliance with key U.S. electrical safety and maintenance standards: 

• NFPA 70E – Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace


• IEEE 1584 – Guide for Performing Arc-Flash Hazard Calculations


• NFPA 70 (NEC) – National Electrical Code


• NFPA 70B – Standard for Electrical Equipment Maintenance


• ANSI C2 (NESC) – National Electrical Safety Code


• OSHA 29 CFR 1910 & 1926 – Electrical Safety Regulations


• ASTM D120 & ASTM F1506 – PPE and Arc-Rated Clothing Standards


• IEC 61850 – Communication Networks and Systems for Power Utility Automation

The Future of Protection

Electrical protection hasn’t ended — it’s evolved. The future isn’t the panel that trips faster, but the one that rarely needs to trip at all — because it learned to predict.
