Greater autonomy, reliability, and technology engineered for the realities of Brazilian industry.
In an industrial plant, few pieces of equipment are as critical as a steam turbine.
Sertãozinho
The decision to develop PowerLoop in Sertãozinho was no coincidence.
The region is one of Brazil’s leading sugar and bioenergy industry hubs, with decades of expertise in industrial processes, power generation, automation, and maintenance.
Since 2015, Power-Up has provided technical services, engineering, automation, and control solutions for turbogenerators, building experience with turbines, generators, gearboxes, and industrial systems in Brazil and abroad.
This hands-on experience is one of the foundations of PowerLoop.
The goal is not simply to replicate an existing technology, but to develop a solution tailored to the conditions found in Brazilian industrial plants, including harvest and off-season operating cycles, maintenance shutdowns, availability requirements, and the everyday challenges faced by operations and maintenance teams.
Technical Support That Drives Product Evolution
When people talk about technical support, they often think only of assistance in resolving problems. With PowerLoop, the approach goes further.
Because the technology is developed in Brazil, customers have direct access to the team responsible for the product and its ongoing development.
This creates a different relationship between the industrial operator and the supplier.
A specific need identified at a plant can be assessed directly by the engineering and development team. Rather than relying exclusively on an international support queue, real operational requirements can help drive product improvements.
It is a way to bring technology closer to the plant floor.
Modern Interface and Open Communication
Beyond technological independence, PowerLoop was developed with features designed to simplify operation and integration.
Key features include:
Web-based interface: Operators can access the system through a web browser without needing to install dedicated proprietary software.
Open communication standards: Support for technologies such as OPC UA and/or Modbus, facilitating integration with different industrial systems.
Three-language operation: A feature that expands the flexibility of use across different environments.
Safety-focused architecture: Designed with the requirements of critical industrial applications in mind.
These features help make the controller more accessible to the teams responsible for plant operations, maintenance, and automation.
Technological Independence for a Critical Application
When equipment is essential to power generation, its availability should not depend entirely on factors beyond the plant’s control.
A Brazilian-developed solution reduces some of this dependence and creates new opportunities for planning, technical support, maintenance, and technological advancement.
PowerLoop embodies this vision: bringing critical technology developed in Brazil into Brazilian industry, designed by professionals who understand the realities of industrial plants.
The goal is to combine the reliability required for turbine control with the ability to evolve through engineering expertise that remains close to the customer.
More Than a Controller
PowerLoop is also part of a broader strategy at Power-Up: combining its experience in automation and industrial engineering with the development of new technologies for industry.
On one side is years of hands-on experience working with turbines, generators, and control systems.
On the other is a new generation of solutions designed to make industrial operations more connected, intelligent, and independent.
It is at the intersection of field experience, engineering, and innovation that PowerLoop takes on its full significance.
The Future of Industrial Automation Is Closer to Home
Brazilian industry needs more than modern equipment. It needs technology that understands its operating environment, can be supported locally, and can evolve alongside its requirements.
PowerLoop was developed with this purpose in mind.
Developed in Sertãozinho and designed for demanding industrial applications, the controller demonstrates the ability of Brazilian engineering to create solutions for challenges that have long relied on technologies developed abroad.
PowerLoop shows that steam turbine control technology can be engineered in Brazil, with the reliability that industry demands.
