Energy Efficiency Retrofits
Automation and efficiency often pay for each other.
Where savings come from
| Source | Typical measure |
|---|---|
| Idle consumption | Shut down or deep-standby between shifts |
| Compressed air | Leak repair and demand control |
| Motors and drives | Higher efficiency classes and right-sizing |
| Process consistency | Less rework and fewer rejected parts |
| Metering | Visibility per line or per machine |
Making the case
- Measure the baseline for at least a month, including idle time.
- Price the saving against your actual tariff structure.
- Include maintenance savings where they are credible.
Savings estimates should be based on your own metered data, not on generic benchmarks.
