Navigating a Distressed Market
Blueflux Delivers Value & Reliability To Your Supply Chain
A Market in Distress
THE ELECTRIC GRID FACES CONSIDERABLE CHALLENGES
Lead times for transformers have skyrocketed by 443% since 2020 due to:
Demand Outpacing Supply:
Infrastructure upgrades, growth in renewable energy, and the transition to electric vehicles.
Supply Chain Disruptions:
Cybersecurity concerns and a shift from traditional suppliers.
Critical Component Shortages:
Raw material scarcity and a lack of skilled labor.
Grid Reliability Concerns:
The rise of intermittent renewable energy sources like solar and wind causes grid frequency and voltage fluctuations, leading to potential blackouts and brownouts.
Cybersecurity Threats:
The electrical grid is a prime target for cyberattacks, with traditional transformers being vulnerable to exploitation.
Blueflux is committed to providing reliable, high-quality grid infrastructure equipment with shorter lead times, ensuring a stable and secure electrical grid for the future.

The Process We Apply
WORLD-CLASS QUALITY CONTROL METHODS, TESTING AND STANDARDS
Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP):
We utilize a rigorous APQP process to identify and mitigate potential risks throughout the entire development cycle, minimizing defects and ensuring a smooth transition from design to production.
Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMEA) & Product Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA):
Our DFMEA and PFMEA processes involve proactively identifying potential failure modes during the design phase. This allows us to engineer solutions to prevent these issues before they occur, further enhancing transformer reliability.
Rigorous Testing:
Every Blueflux transformer undergoes a comprehensive battery of tests, including routine, type, special, and commissioning tests. This ensures that we meet strict performance and safety standards before your order leaves our facility.
Real-Time Video Documentation:
We maintain a transparent and accountable manufacturing process by recording all assembly stages with high-definition video. This creates a detailed audit trail for quality control purposes and provides valuable documentation for future reference.
