In the modern industrial environment, highly competitive and demanding, reducing downtime and operating costs is required if profitability and overall efficiency are to be sustained. New drive technology is a key factor in this success through more efficient machinery, predictive maintenance potential, and increased energy efficiency
This article discusses how the embedding of advanced drive technologies can lead to significant operating benefits.
The Role of Sophisticated Drive Systems in Achieving Optimum Industrial Efficiency
1. Enhanced Equipment Performance
Modern drive systems, including those of NORD Drive Systems and Toshiba Industrial Products allow very precise control of motor operation. Greater accuracy results in better start-ups with reduced mechanical shock, more precise control of speed, and all the conditions that result in prolonging the operational life of equipment as well as minimising chances of sudden breakdowns.
2. Predictive Maintenance Capabilities
Intelligent drives come with diagnostic capabilities that monitor equipment health conditions in real time. The systems can forecast breakdowns by using vibration, temperature, load and other parameters. Predictive maintenance minimizes maintenance expenses and downtime by forecasting when the equipment requires maintenance. According to?a study conducted by MachineMetrics predictive maintenance can reduce maintenance costs by 10-40% and unplanned downtime by approximately 10-20%.
3. Conserving Energy and Money
Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and decentralized drive systems control motor speed according to load demand, which results in substantial energy savings. Installation of energy-saving measures not only saves utility bills but also contributes to carbon emission reduction, hence promoting global sustainability goals.
Practical Applications and Benefits
Sectors like manufacturing, material handling, and water treatment have experienced drastic developments with the adoption of advanced drive systems:
Manufacturing: Better control over manufacturing processes leads to better product quality and less waste.
Water Treatment: Detailed pump control ensures of highest flow rates, conserving energy and resources.
Material Handling: Refined work increases productivity and lessens slowdowns.
