Reducing Waste in Manufacturing for Safer, More Reliable Production
As the hardware of the future continues to evolve to become more complex and technologically advanced, so too are the ways in which we manufacture. Innovation requires adaptation, and new processes are needed for compliance, reliability and most of all - less waste.
Is Motion Waste Hurting Your Warehouse Productivity?
Warehouses are complex operations with a lot of functions and moving parts happening simultaneously. While there are ample opportunities to improve productivity, it's not always clear where your efforts will bear the most fruit.
Variable speed drives: the dark side
According to ABB, the power and automation company, the addition of a VSD can reduce energy consumption by as much as 60 per cent. This means that, if a 90-kW motor in continuous operation is combined with a VSD, financial savings can amass to over £9,000 per year.
