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 devel-
opment 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 solu-
tions, 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 produc-
tion process – from product design through production planning
and engineering – up to the production itself, and all the associ-
ated services. Only the perfect interaction of all components 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 en-
ergy costs of the workpiece, are available to the user: Pressing
the shortcut Ctrl + E helps the SINUMERIK save energy.
