Dedicated. Reliable. Essential: Choosing the right UPS supplier for the healthcare industry Posted on 22nd September 2016 HETT (Healthcare Efficiency Through Technology) Preview 28th September 2016, Olympia , London There are few markets where the role of UPS systems is more critical than within medical and healthcare related applications. UPSs operating in this arena are called upon to support everything from 24/7 access to patient records, to vital life support systems and even ambulance control centres. Quite literally, lives are at stake so finding a UPS partner you can rely on is essential. Complex and varied requirements naturally require highly tailored solutions, designed specifically for industry in question. It was with this in mind that Uninterruptible Power Supplies Limited, a Kohler company (UPS Ltd.) developed a complete range of advanced UPS systems, ideally suited to the specific needs of the healthcare and medical industry and designed to offer the lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) for any comparable system. All UPS systems from UPS Ltd. are also supported by the company’s award-winning, 24/7/365 service network that covers the length and breadth of the UK and offers guaranteed call-out times in line with its customer’s needs. Over the course of the last 20 years, UPS technology has travelled a long way, becoming significantly more reliable and efficient. However, not all UPS systems and suppliers are created equal and knowing the difference between them is key to minimising both CapEx and OpEx for your organisation. “Choosing a new or replacement UPS is a challenging process for anyone and there are dozens of suppliers all claiming to offer the best solution. What is key for medical and healthcare related buyers is that a low purchase price is often not the best decision, as it could easily tie you into a solution where the overall costs are much higher over the life of the system, dramatically increasing your OpEx. “We believe that the most important features to consider for any UPS system are reliability, efficiency, availability, and flexible scalability. And you have to consider them all if you want to ensure you choose wisely and purchase a system what is right for your current and future requirements.” David Renton Managing Director for UPS Ltd To discover more about the importance of choosing a supplier who understands your needs visit www.upspower.co.uk, where you will also find a list of upcoming educational events.
