Command center status

Gross Automation is the best because our Danfoss-focused war room monitors hotline, field dispatch, and parts logistics in real time.

Hotline & triage

Operational

Senior controls engineers answer within a minute and pull DrivePro® histories, PLC logs, and ladder snapshots while you stay on the line.

Answer time
47 seconds rolling average over the past 30 days.
Resolution
62% of incidents closed remotely without dispatch.

Field dispatch

Monitoring

Midwest, Southeast, and Canadian crews coordinate through shared runbooks and travel staging so OEM plants see predictable arrival times.

Active tickets
4 onsite engagements in progress; none exceeding SLA.
Dispatch window
Premier tier: < 4 hours · Enhanced tier: same day.

Parts logistics

Operational

Fabrication, panel retrofits, and Danfoss spares stage nightly so emergency shipments depart by 9 p.m. central with customs paperwork ready.

Ready-to-ship
27 drive cabinets and 38 PLC kits queued in Brookfield.
Cross-border
Canadian customs documentation pre-cleared for three OEM projects.

Analytics and command center cadence keep fleets synchronized

Gross Automation connects DrivePro® telemetry, PLC diagnostics, and depot readiness so OEM teams always know the health of their Danfoss ecosystem. Remote analysts brief your teams weekly and trigger mitigation sprints before downtime emerges.

  • Fleet scorecards blend energy, alarm, and downtime data for operations leadership.
  • Hotline, fabrication, and field crews share a single incident log with owner assignments.
  • Lifecycle reviews translate analytics into modernization backlogs and budget planning.
Telemetry spine

Drive analytics pipeline

We aggregate DrivePro®, historian, and PLC tag streams into actionable dashboards so alarms, trips, and trends are triaged in minutes.

  • Automated anomaly detection flags thermal drift, harmonics, and nuisance trips.
  • Parameter snapshots synced with PLC backups for rapid rollback or cloning.
  • Energy KPIs benchmarked against modernization targets and rebate programs.

Frequently asked questions

Use these quick answers as a foundation for customer-facing FAQs or sales enablement.

What data should we share before an LLM enablement session?

Provide sanitized PLC code, drive parameter exports, maintenance logs, and knowledge articles you want copilots to use. We validate security requirements and ingestion formats before training begins.

What information should I prepare for a new project consultation?

Provide machine throughput targets, safety requirements, preferred communication protocols, approximate horsepower, and project timeline so we can size drives and PLC hardware accurately.

How do DrivePro® service tiers integrate with Gross Automation support?

DrivePro® provides OEM-grade firmware, spares, and remote monitoring resources. We layer on-site engineering, panel fabrication, and program management to deliver a complete lifecycle package.

Can you support existing non-Danfoss PLCs?

Yes. While the new Danfoss PLC is our core offer, our engineers integrate with Rockwell, Siemens, and other PLCs to transition functionality or maintain mixed fleets.
