Eaton begins nationwide roadshow, stops in Houston

HOUSTON, Texas -- Eaton recently stopped in Houston on its 2017 Industrial Controls in Motion mobile tour. The tour features power management tools that can be used in the upstream, midstream and downstream oil and gas sectors.

The Industrial Controls in Motion exhibit features four demos arranged by commercial and industrial application environments. Live demo areas include a redundant VFD HVAC system, a multi-pump booster system, a material handling conveyor, and a mixing and separating process. An interactive Internet of Things component also allows visitors to create their own fault situation and receive alerts on their mobile phones.

The trailer tour, which started in Las Vegas in January, is also planned to visit other cities including Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Cleveland. The tour will conclude in November with a final visit to Fresno, Calif. The roadshow operates from a 2017 Ford F450 pickup and a 40-ft custom Eaton trailer outfitted with on-board generator power and a retractable awning. Eaton’s electrical business for the oil and gas industry offers expertise in power distribution and circuit protection, backup power protection, control and automation, lighting and security, structural solutions and wiring devices, solutions for harsh and hazardous environments, and engineering services.
