Integrated Intelligence for Smarter Power Plants: Forbes Marshall at Electricity Connect 2025
At Electricity Connect 2025, held from 19th – 21st November at the Jakarta International Convention Centre (JICC), Jakarta, Indonesia, Forbes Marshall showcased how integrated instrumentation and digital solutions can help power plants operate cleaner, safer, and more efficiently. Organised by the Indonesian Electrical Power Society (MKI), the exhibition brought together stakeholders from across Indonesia’s power sector, creating a strong platform for technical exchange and industry dialogue.
Over the three-day event, Forbes Marshall engaged with engineers, plant heads, water chemists, and operations professionals, highlighting solutions that address three critical pillars of power plant performance: rotating machine health, water chemistry, and emissions compliance. The focus was on demonstrating how these traditionally siloed areas can be brought together into a single, integrated approach that improves efficiency while ensuring regulatory compliance.
Visitors explored online and wireless vibration monitoring solutions, including the Vibration Monitoring System (VMS) and MachPulse™, designed to enhance rotating equipment reliability through continuous diagnostics and predictive insights. These were complemented by Steam and Water Analysis Systems (SWAS) and SWAN water chemistry analysers, enabling accurate monitoring of key parameters that directly impact boiler health, efficiency, and plant safety. Environmental performance was addressed through CODEL emission monitoring systems, engineered for high accuracy, reliability and uptime in demanding power plant conditions.
A key differentiator highlighted during the event was Forbes Marshall’s digital and wireless analysis and diagnostic services, particularly the use of wireless VMS to monitor critical and balance-of-plant equipment without extensive cabling or infrastructure changes. Live demonstrations allowed visitors to see how real-time data, combined with diagnostics, can support better decision-making and proactive maintenance strategies.
Engagement peaked on Day 2 with a technical presentation which gave a comprehensive view of “complete instrumentation solutions for power plants.” This session connected machinery health, water chemistry, digital diagnostics, and emission monitoring into a unified performance framework, drawing strong interest and technical discussions from attendees.
