With nearly 85% of the electrical industry’s output driven by Transmission & Distribution equipment, manufacturers today are transitioning from traditional 220kV-400kV systems to advanced 756kV and high-voltage HVDC categories, demanding elevated precision in R&D execution, design standardization , production traceability, and compliance management, making ERP for Electrical Equipment Industry essential for digital transformation.
As product lines expand to include silicone composite and polymer insulators, disconnectors, surge arresters, switchgear assemblies, electrical control panels, distributions components, and metering units, the manufacturing ecosystem must support extensive configuration variability, multi-level BOM structure management, material engineering, rigorous QC testing, and lifecycle documentation aligned with IEC/IS utility testing standards.
Lighthouse ERP for Power Distribution and Transmission Industry, built on domain experience since 1987, has evolved to map sector- specific complexities, integrating real-time shop-floor visibility, advanced planning algorithms, and quality-driven workflows. The system is designed to support high-voltage engineering environments, ensuring synchronized control over R&D, procurement, fabrication, assembly, testing, and field servicing, addressing the precision and reliability demanded by this sector.
Design revisions are not synced with production, resulting in outdated drawings, rework, and delays so a integrated system is necessary.
High-volume test data lacks centralized storage, making certificates hard to retrieve during audits, warranty claims, and inspections.
Unpredictable supply for key materials of CRGO, copper, vacuum interrupters causes stockouts, production stoppages, and costly emergency analysis, so material requirement planning needs to be done accurately.
Scattered installation and service information leads to spare parts delays, inaccurate AMC billing, and poor lifecycle performance analysis.
Manual claim tracking and lack of defect history visibility increase warranty expenses and escalate customer dissatisfaction.
Long manufacturing cycles lack real-time WIP costing, hindering deviation tracking and actual vs. estimated cost control.
ERP connects CAD/PLM systems with production, auto-updates BOM and routing on revisions preventing rework and outdated design usage.
Rule-based BOM generation supports ETO/MTO customization (voltage class, cooling type, coil design, panel layouts) with faster configuration accuracy.
The quality management module captures real-time test data, auto-generates certificates, and links results with serial numbers for audits, inspections, and dispatch clearance.
Forecasts material demand (copper, CRGO, hardware) to avoid shortages and costly emergency purchase while improving supplier lead times.
Manage installation, AMC, warranty claims, spare parts, and field service history with IOT based health monitoring for long-life equipment.
Tracks cost across each production stage and compares estimates vs. actual to improve budgeting accuracy and tender profitability..
Supports detailed definition of voltage class, insulation type, and configurable variants ensuring precision for switchgear, insulator, arresters, and similar components.
Unlimited BOM levels with routing and material alternatives to enable accurate planning, forecasting, and reduced wastage.
Captures customer-specific parameters such as length, weight, tolerance, and packing requirements for zero-error order execution.
Drum-wise planning, cutting-based dispatching, and inspection scheduling to ensure shipment accuracy and compliance.
Groups similar products into single work orders, reducing setup time and improving resource efficiency.
Monitors machine-wise output, shift performance, rejection rates, and tool usage for enhanced shop-floor visibility.
Process- level inspection aligned with IEC, ISm and utility standards, ensuring reliability and certification success.
Material and finished goods tracking across distributed warehouses to prevent stock imbalance and reduce costs.
Real-time cost computation and efficiency analysis for better profitability and resource utilization.
Integrated warranty service calls, and spare parts tracking to improve customer support and uptime.
