Duke Energy: North American Utility Service Equipment Cases
The Challenge
Duke Energy is the largest electric utility in the US with $30B+ revenue, serving 8.2M customers across the Carolinas, Florida, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, and the Carolinas. They require cases for substation diagnostic tools, power line test equipment, and storm response gear transported to power plants, substations, and field service vehicles. Cases must: (1) meet OSHA + IEEE 1584 + IEC 60900 + IP65, (2) survive outdoor field service and storm deployment, (3) protect $60,000+ substation diagnostic and relay test sets, (4) integrate with Duke Energy Supply Chain (DESC) tracking, (5) be reusable 400+ cycles.
Our Solution
KeXinMaterials delivered utility-grade cases with: (1) OSHA + IEEE 1584 + IEC 60900 + IP65 compliance, (2) PP copolymer with Duke blue brand color and high impact resistance, (3) custom foam for Duke Megger insulation testers, Doble M4000 transformer analyzers, Fluke 87V multimeters, hot sticks, relay test sets, (4) serialized QR + DESC tracking integration, (5) 400+ cycle reusability rating. Custom foam for Megger MFT-1741, Doble M4000, OMICRON CMC 356 relay test sets.
Results & Impact
1,400 cases deployed across USA + Canada. 18 months zero utility equipment damage. 100% OSHA/IEC 60900 compliance. Duke Energy standardized KeXinMaterials as a qualified utility service case vendor for substation and storm response operations.
“Duke Energy operates across the USA and Canada with strict OSHA and IEC 60900 utility safety standards. KeXinMaterials cases have proven Duke-blue color consistency and high-impact performance across our substation and storm response network including Doble transformer analysis. The 400+ cycle reusability is critical for our ESG goals. They're our standard utility case. — Duke Energy Supply Chain Director”
