Q. How is Modutec improving space optimisation, thermal management, and safety in its enclosure systems for emerging industries?

At Modutec, we focus on three key pillars to evolve our enclosure systems:

Space Optimisation

Our modular enclosures support vertical and horizontal expansion without compromising structure or aesthetics. This allows maximum utility in compact spaces—ideal for sectors like urban infrastructure, EV charging, and data centres.

Thermal Management

We’re integrating both passive and active cooling strategies, such as double-walled designs, intelligent airflow channels, and smart cooling system compatibility, to ensure safety and performance in high-load applications.

Safety & Standards Compliance

All enclosures align with IEC 61439 and seismic standards. We’re also adopting digital twin simulations to pre-validate safety under extreme stress, ensuring our systems are compliant, secure, and future-ready.

Q. How do Modutec’s MODDIS and MODDRW systems outperform traditional welded enclosures for OEMs and system integrators?

MODDIS (fixed) and MODDRW (draw-out) systems offer:

True Modularity

Easy reconfiguration and phased expansion without welding or structural changes.

Plug-and-Play Technology

MODDRW allows hot-swapping of feeder units, reducing downtime during maintenance.

Simplified Logistics

Flat-pack shipping and tool-based on-site assembly reduce both transport and installation complexity.

Improved Safety & Maintenance

Front-access design, IP-rated segregation, and clear compartment labelling reduce human error and improve operator safety.

Q. How does the MODMED system support India’s growth in EV infrastructure and renewable energy?

MODMED is purpose-built for fast, safe MV switchgear deployment in compact, urban, and industrial spaces. Key features include:

Compact Design

Fits into constrained spaces like basements and roadside substations.

Safety Features

Internal Form 4 segregation, arc containment options, and pressure relief mechanisms enhance operator safety.

Rapid Deployment

Factory-assembled, type-tested units cut down commissioning time for EV stations and grid nodes.

Smart Integration

Supports SCADA, IoT sensors, and digital relays for real-time control and hybrid power management.

Q. What impact will technologies like digital twins, AI-assisted layouts, and cloud collaboration have on the power industry in the next 3–5 years? 

These advanced technologies are set to transform the industry:

Digital Twins

Enable predictive simulations and real-time monitoring of panels for improved reliability and reduced downtime.

AI-Assisted

Layouts Help engineers auto-generate optimal panel configurations while ensuring compliance and thermal efficiency.

Cloud-Based Collaboration

Speeds up coordination across teams and geographies, reducing design errors and project delays.

Mass Customisation

Facilitates reusable, modular designs that can be tailored per site—accelerating scalable production.

Q. How is Modutec adopting sustainable practices in its enclosure product development?

Sustainability is a core focus at Modutec, reflected in:

Eco-Friendly Materials

Use of recyclable, RoHS-compliant materials and minimal waste through modular components.

Design for Recycling

Modular systems are designed for easy disassembly and material recovery at end-of-life.

Energy-Efficient Manufacturing

Lean production with energy-saving CNC and powder-coating processes reduces carbon footprint.

Flat-Pack Logistics

Compact shipping lowers fuel use and emissions during transport.

Smart Integration

Enclosures are compatible with energy meters and green building standards like IGBC/LEED.

Q. What smart technologies are being integrated into Modutec’s next-gen modular enclosures? 

Modutec’s upcoming enclosures will feature:

Arc Fault Detection

Advanced sensors for early fault detection and fast system isolation, boosting operational safety.

Environmental Monitoring

Real-time sensors for temperature, humidity, dust, and unauthorised access alerts.

Remote Diagnostics

IoT-enabled platforms allow predictive maintenance and remote system health monitoring.

Modular Smart Features

These capabilities can be added as needed, ensuring cost-effective upgrades over time
