Introduction
Energy efficiency
■
Overview
Energy is one of the most important cost factors in industry.
Operators can, of course, always make savings here and there,
but the full potential for saving energy can only be exploited by
taking a holistic view of the entire value chain of a system. As an
innovative partner, we offer industry energy-efficient solutions
with products and services for all phases in the product
development and production process.
5 steps toward higher energy efficiency
Exploit the full potential of energy efficiency in your production
with our comprehensive range of products, systems and
solutions, that cover all phases of the product development and
production process. Our energy efficiency concept aims to con-
tinuously and comprehensively reduce the energy usage of
machines and plants and so increase the competitiveness of our
customers. To achieve this, as a leading technology partner, we
accompany all phases of the product development and
production process – from product design through production
planning and engineering – up to the production itself, and all
the associated services. Only the perfect interaction of all com-
ponents can achieve maximum energy efficiency in production.
Our continual innovations ensure that your investments in energy
efficiency pay off more quickly.
Energy efficiency with SINUMERIK Ctrl-Energy
Siemens machine tool systems set the standard for energy
efficiency in the machine tool: SINUMERIK Ctrl-Energy covers a
wide range of highly efficient drive/motor components, CNC/
drive functions, software solutions and services. SINUMERIK
Ctrl-Energy thus offers energy-efficient solutions for the com-
plete machine lifecycle – from the design phase to full operation.
For example, intelligent functions, such as the analysis of the
energy costs of the workpiece, are available to the user:
Pressing the shortcut Ctrl + E helps the SINUMERIK save
energy.
Energy monitoring with SENTRON PAC
SENTRON PAC Power Monitoring Devices ensure precise,
reproducible and reliable measurement of energy values for
infeed, outgoing feeders or individual loads.
