Satia Industries: Improving Paper-Plant Operations Through Motor Management and Automation

By The Plant Insider September 8, 2026 1 min read

Location: Sri Muktsar Sahib, Punjab
Industry: Paper Manufacturing
Focus: Motor management, drives and process automation

Satia Industries operates a paper manufacturing facility in Sri Muktsar Sahib, Punjab. The plant uses agricultural residue, wood chips and waste paper as raw materials and has significant motor-driven operations across its manufacturing processes.

The Challenge

The company sought to improve automation, equipment availability and energy performance while maintaining operations in demanding plant conditions.

The Approach

According to Schneider Electric’s published customer case, Satia upgraded its plant motor-management system and integrated AC drives into the automation architecture.

The system also provided increased asset visibility and remote plant monitoring, allowing operating teams to monitor equipment and respond to developing issues more effectively.

Reported Results

Schneider Electric reports:

  • Improved plant uptime
  • Reduced downtime
  • Greater visibility of motor-driven assets
  • Remote monitoring capability
  • Progress towards energy-efficiency objectives
  • A 15% reduction in operational costs 

These outcomes are reported by the technology provider and have not been independently verified by TPI.

What the Case Shows

Motor systems are often spread across many areas of a manufacturing plant. Bringing information from those assets into a common monitoring and automation environment can help maintenance and operations teams understand equipment condition more quickly.

The case also illustrates that industrial digitalisation does not necessarily begin with a complete plant transformation; it can start with specific equipment systems where reliability and operating costs matter.
