Manufacturers are looking for ways to optimise their business. Analysis of data can enable power availability, safety optimisation, and reduction in energy consumption and costs.  

As market dynamics and customer behaviour shift rapidly, agility is everything. Learn three ways in which SMART machine solutions bolster manufacturing flexibility.

The energy requirements of a manufacturing site are complex. Power consumption is generally high, and large assets can cause power fluctuations leading to irregularities and equipment damage. On top of this are safety concerns and a need to minimise downtime. 

We are all consumers, which is why we are more and more concerned about the food we eat and its safety. We have also become more responsible consumers, buying more green and sustainable products. Further, this fact has been accelerated during the global pandemic we are still facing worldwide.

Unplanned power outages can be costly both from a production and financial point of view for those operating manufacturing sites. Even a short outage can become a major problem, with some factory floor equipment shutting down immediately as the power is cut, forcing motors, drive systems, conveyor belts, and other machinery to stop and then … Continue reading Manufacturing requires power.
