BRIEF HISTORY
Nidec ASI: destined to be number one in industrial drive solutions

Nidec ASI, a destiny with roots that go back more than 160 years. Nidec ASI was formed in
December 2012 as a result of the acquisition of Ansaldo Sistemi Industriali Spa (ASI) by
Nidec Corporation. The company can trace its origins back to the founding of Ansaldo in
1853. ASI was born as Ansaldo’s stabilimento elettromeccanico (electro-mechanical
workshop) in 1899. From its inception, ASI has specialized in providing innovative power
control and system solutions that have satisfied hundreds of customers worldwide. Over
the past century and a half, ASI has established itself as one of the pioneers of Italian
manufacturing, engineering and industry.

As part of the Nidec Group, Nidec ASI is now able to offer a wider range of customers
solutions and services as a leading player in the supply of industrial automation systems,
power electronics, electric motors and generators in various applications and industries
such as Metals, Energy, Marine, Oil & Gas and General Industry (cement, environment,
rubber and plastic, materials handling, paper and ropeway).

In 2016 Nidec ASI was assigned responsibility for the Industrial Solutions platform within
the Nidec group.

ABOUT NIDEC CORPORATION

From its origins, in 1973, the goal of Nidec Group has been to become number 1 in electric
drive solutions, with a strong focus on electric motors.
Over the years, through hard work and determination, the company has grown, expanding
from its original product base of motors for Information & Communication Technologies into
motors for home appliances, automobiles, office equipment and industrial machinery.
Quoted on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) since 2001, Nidec is headquartered in
Kyoto, Japan. Through the combined strength of these two significant experiences, a new
era in industrial drive solutions has dawned: today Nidec ASI is ready to serve its
customers for another 160 years.

INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS
MAINTENANCE PROGRAMS

Nidec ASI provides maintenance programs to restore and improve the performance of
electrical and automation systems whether it was supplied by us or not. We also provide
services to help you maximize the longevity and reliability of your equipment. Our
technicians can assist you in defining a suitable spare parts management system to reduce
time and cost of maintenance. Our technicians perform an inspection of the system and
take inventory of the equipment and machinery, in order to define the optimum solution for
your needs.

Our Preventive Maintenance Programs are designed to increase plant up time and improve
operating conditions by reducing costs, downtime risk and unplanned production stops.

A Preventive Maintenance Program consists of: documentation, which must be updated

systematically; checks; tests; measurements and maintenance actions which have to be
carried out periodically. These activities might be characterized by different levels of
complexity: from the simple tuning of the machine's working conditions with routine
substitution of worn components, or preventive substitution of aging components, up to the
complete disassembling of the electrical machine, or system, after a significant interval of
operating time.
Our equipment often operates in challenging environments and under severe working
conditions. This means that we have the experience, flexibility, and full capability to
manage, from a diagnostic, as well as an operative stand point, all of our customers’ needs
even in the most challenging cases.
NIDEC ASI Preventive Maintenance Programs are studied to adhere to specific needs of
the equipment and the plant’s particular production technology; therefore only after a
detailed analysis of the:

 role of the specific equipment within the plant facility

 overall working time span
 integration level with the maintenance operation of other components within the plant
 features of the workshop environment
 construction characteristics and operating peculiarity of the whole works,

We are able to offer a real improvement option through our Preventive Maintenance
Programs.

INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS
UPGRADES

Our engineers continuously develop new solutions to bring our customer’s current system
to a higher state of efficiency and reliability. Upgrading is proposed to replace obsolete
components with new state-of-the-art releases, at the same time ensuring the continuous
operation of the plant or minimizing downtime.

Typical VFD Upgrades generally include:

 replacement of SW, HW and firmware of the automation system and of the drives with
last generation components and cards
 integration of diagnostics functions, where missing or poor
 HMI upgrade and improvements
 Installation of data loggers.

REVAMPING

When the plant requires wider modifications to a technological area, our engineers can
develop a technical proposal, to be discussed with the customer and tailored to his specific
requests. An accurate evaluation of the plant outage will be necessary to minimize
downtime and relevant costs. In order to ensure full production rate or to comply with the
customer’s investment plans, a step-by-step revamping can be supplied, based on
scheduled shutdowns or on short maintenance stops.

An accurate survey based on collection and recording of plant parameters is normally

included in our revamping program to protect the customer’s investment and to gain a
deeper understanding of the existing system.

Most frequent typologies of revamping are a combination of the following:

 replacement of old dc drives and ac drives

 replacement of obsolete controllers with last generation PLC or ARTICS system
 installation of new functions on existing automation platform
 serial communication with field machinery
 MMI and data loggers replacements
 Replacement of the control and drive system of the whole mill.

INDUSTRIAL SOLUTIONS
REMOTE DIAGNOSTICS

This kind of service is available for plants in which an automation system based on our
software programs is installed. Remote diagnostics is possible through modem connection,
with a significant saving of the intervention time and related costs.
