Our solutions

Our solutions are based on variable-speed systems for which we manufacture three main components: .  rotating machines (motors and generators) —    Converteam offers a full range of high-voltage    motors, synchronous up to 100MW and    asynchronous up to 40MW .  drives to control the speed of motors by varying    current voltage and frequency. Converteam drives    cover a full range from a few KW up to 100MW .  automation and process controls for applications    including plant automation, ship automation and    SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition)    systems.

Technology centered on High Performance Controller (HPC) engineering tools and network systems has benefited from ongoing commitment to development, enabling Converteam to offer complete automation systems integrating the latest breakthroughs and standards at all levels – from process control to production and enterprise management.

Our variable-speed systems offer clear advantages for customers on the markets we serve:

.  perfect adaptation to processes requiring control and automation of production flows, as for
   example in metals
.  optimization of energy consumption in step with mechanical requirements, in particular for
   applications using pumps and compressors (Oil & Gas, Marine and Offshore).
