Right-sizing a motion control system can improve energy efficiency

摘要

Manufacturers are always looking to improve energy efficiency, which effectively improves their bottom line. The manufacturers who are successful in this endeavor seldom go it alone. They enlist help from their machine and equipment builder, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners. Whether developing a simple or complex machine, an optimized design is critical for creating machines that not only run with greater efficiency, but also more quickly adapt to market changes and integrate with up- and downstream operations. By leveraging mechatronic design tools and scalable, right-sized automation, OEMs can develop the sustainable, energy-efficient systems their customers need.
