As Nigerian industries adapt to digital transformation and rising energy demands, factory upgrades are no longer optional, they’re essential. Whether you run a manufacturing plant in Lagos, a food processing facility in Ogun, or an oil installation in Port Harcourt, staying competitive means investing in smart, scalable automation and electrical systems.
At Gil Automations Nigeria, we help factories future-proof their operations with tailored upgrades that boost performance, safety, and efficiency. Here are the top 5 upgrades Nigerian factories should prioritize in 2025:
🔌 1. Intelligent Motor Control Systems (IMCCs)
Traditional motor starters are quickly becoming outdated. IMCCs allow real-time monitoring of motor health, load status, and energy usage. This prevents burnout, improves control, and increases uptime.
What Gil Offers:
Custom-built IMCC panels with remote diagnostics, PLC integration, and energy-saving motor drives.
⚡ 2. Smart Power Distribution Panels
Inconsistent power supply remains a challenge in Nigeria. Upgrading to smart power panels helps factories monitor load balance, power quality, and trip logs.
What Gil Offers:
We design and install automated LV/MV panels with built-in metering and surge protection, tailored for Nigerian conditions.
🧠 3. PLC and HMI Upgrades
Old PLCs and push-button panels slow down production. Modern PLCs combined with touchscreen HMI interfaces improve control, diagnostics, and changeover speed.
What Gil Offers:
We upgrade obsolete systems to advanced PLC platforms (like Siemens, Schneider, or ABB) and train your team to use them effectively.
📡 4. SCADA & Remote Monitoring Integration
SCADA systems offer a bird’s-eye view of your plant operations even from a mobile device. In 2025, this is key for multi-site plants or unmanned operations.
What Gil Offers:
We integrate SCADA systems that offer real-time data visualization, alarm management, and production analytics.
🌍 5. Energy Monitoring & Optimization Systems
With rising diesel and grid energy costs, tracking your plant’s power use isn’t just smart — it’s survival. Energy monitoring systems help cut wastage and optimize loads.
What Gil Offers:
Our EMS solutions help Nigerian factories reduce energy bills by up to 25%, with full ROI tracking and load shedding strategies.
