Schneider Electric East Africa has launched the new TeSys Deca Advanced, a smart, reliable, and energy-efficient motor control solution designed to simplify industrial operations and reduce downtime to its valued channel partners. 

Tailored for robust industrial environments like manufacturing, MMM (mining, minerals and metals), HVAC, WWW (water and wastewater) treatment, and packaging, the motor control solution enables businesses to run more efficiently, sustainably, and with less difficulty.  

The TeSys Deca features Schneider Electric’s wide-band coil technology, which supports 24V to 500V AC/DC voltage inputs, ensuring stability even in fluctuating power conditions. Additionally, key TeSys Deca Advanced industry applications include: 

Manufacturing and packaging – streamlining operations with predictive maintenance and simplified installation. 

HVAC Systems – reducing carbon footprint by up to 69% while optimising energy consumption. 

MMM and WWW – providing robust motor control in demanding environments. 

Elevators & Hoisting – Ensuring smooth, uninterrupted performance in critical infrastructure. 

“At Schneider Electric, we're committed to bringing innovation that works in the real world,” says Geraldine Sande, Channel Sales Leader at Schneider Electric East Africa. “The TeSys Deca Advanced offers simpler way to manage motors in tough environments. It saves time, cuts energy use, and improves uptime; all of which are essential for our customers across East Africa." 

Simple to install and easy to use 

Thanks to smart design features like its one-click wiring system, businesses can install the TeSys Deca Advance up to 75% faster than traditional models. It also has a user-friendly layout that makes wiring and maintenance more straightforward, no need for highly specialised skills. 

The TeSys Deca Advanced can be connected directly to a PLC (programmable logic controller), simplifying setup and making it easier to manage stock, since fewer components are needed overall. 

Smart features for reliable performance 

The TeSys Deca Advanced is tested for tough conditions and includes real-time diagnostics. This allows teams to monitor performance and catch issues early, reducing the risk of costly downtime. 

It’s also energy efficient, consuming less electricity during operation and helping companies cut both their power bills and carbon footprint. 

Technical highlights include: 

• Wide-band coil technology - supports 24V to 500V AC/DC inputs, stable under voltage fluctuations. 
• Direct PLC control - reduces the need for intermediate relays or devices. 
• Simplified wiring – three-layer design improves visibility and organisation. 
• Predictive maintenance ready- diagnostics enable condition-based servicing. 
• Reduced inventory - one device replaces multiple SKUs.
