THE STRENGTH IS IN THE DETAIL to its suppliers free of charge . To enable other companies to manage emissions in their own supply chain , Siemens transferred the rights to the company ctrl + s at the beginning of 2023 , which now offers “ supplier + s ” on the market .
Reduce the power consumption of machine tools
In the production of parts with machine tools - also in glass machine manufacturing - the focus is increasingly on electrical energy consumption according to Siemens Digital Industries . Not only because the associated
CO 2 emissions have a negative impact on the manufactured components . The rising costs of electrical energy are also making the production process more expensive . Reason enough to take a closer look at the savings potential here . The focus here is on the auxiliary units of the machines . According to a study by the Technical University of Darmstadt , these account for 80 per cent of the energy consumption over the life cycle of the machine . Therefore , the automatic shutdown of the auxiliary units during breaks already brings noticeable energy savings . Adjusting the speed of the auxiliary units to the respective machining situation by means of a frequency converter is another important lever . Finally , all measures to avoid “ non-cutting ” times of the machines - in addition to maximising productivity - also automatically lead to minimising the consumption of electrical energy . Digital twins for the “ offline ” creation of CNC programmes or features for quick machine setup are thus further adjusting screws . The decisive prerequisite for taking concrete measures is not least the visualisation of energy consumption .
With direct current to climate neutrality
Making production plants more energy-efficient and CO 2
-neutral is another building block for a successful energy transition . DC grids enable a technological leap towards climate neutrality , resource conservation and grid stability . The latter is essential to ensure a reliable energy supply , even when using renewable energies . Factory-internal DC grids can compensate for their fluctuations , absorb peak loads and make energy generated in-house from renewable sources available with a time delay . Weidmüller Interface GmbH & Co . KG was a partner in a cooperation project with 35 companies that looked at the possibilities of using DC technologies . The company offers system specifications as well as components and solutions for the construction and operation of DC networks . So , what does it mean to set up such a grid ? The energy supplier continues to supply the company with energy in AC technology , which is converted into DC at the
