Schneider Electric launched TeSys Tera, a next-generation intelligent motor management system designed for demanding industrial environments. TeSys Tera unifies protection, control and monitoring to reduce equipment failures, lower energy costs and extend asset life across industries including water and wastewater, metal, mineral and mining, chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and oil and gas. The company introduced the system at Texas Water 2026, the largest regional water conference in the United States.

TeSys Tera combines motor protection, control and monitoring in a single modular device, engineered for seamless retrofits and new installations. It continuously monitors key parameters, including current, voltage, power and power factor, delivering real-time data to automation systems for greater visibility and control. Analog I/O capabilities allow integration with sensors to detect abnormal conditions, supporting predictive maintenance, and preventing failures without the need for additional hardware.

Key capabilities include: Load shedding and auto-restart to keep pumps and blowers running during power disruptions and reduce manual intervention; Predictive diagnostics with pre-fault alarms, trip logging and trend analysis to identify overheating, imbalance, electrical faults and mechanical degradation before they lead to outages; On-unit programming through SoMove software that reduces reliance on PLC programming skills, lowering the training threshold for incoming technicians; Motor-level energy monitoring of active and reactive power, consumption and power factor, giving operators data to target inefficiencies in motor-driven processes; Multi-protocol connectivity (EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP/IP, Modbus RTU, PROFIBUS DP, PROFINET) for integration with existing SCADA and DCS environments. As part of this next-generation ecosystem, TeSys Tera enables faster diagnostics, higher reliability and optimized energy consumption, integrating seamlessly with Schneider Electric's EcoStruxure platform for centralized monitoring across multiple sites. Across industrial environments, Schneider Electric's digital solutions have demonstrated the potential to optimize energy consumption by up to 30%, increase operational efficiency by up to 25% and reduce total cost of ownership by up to 20%.

TeSys Tera is available now in North America for new installations and retrofits. Schneider Electric will discontinue the TeSys T platform in Third Quarter 2026. The system is on display at Texas Water 2026, April 27?30 at the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio, at Schneider Electric booth # 949.
