MANU Building – Bringing together Manufacturing Automation and Building Automation

摘要

Up to now, production systems only concern was to minimize production costs or optimize the utilization of production resources. But with the increasing energy prices and the growing concern over the environmental impact of production systems (industrial systems consume a quarter of all energy), efficient use of energy in manufacturing environment cannot be ignored any longer. MANUbuilding concept brings together manufacturing systems requirements with building automaton concerns over the efficient energy use.
