The use of energy-efficient components in the design of automation systems does much more than save energy and support corporate sustainability goals. Naturally, energy efficient components lower the customer’s electric bill — every year of the system’s life — and that leads to faster return on investment (ROI), making for an easier sale. But there’s more. Energy-efficient components also create huge opportunities for product innovation, including mobile solutions. And they deliver less downtime, greater system productivity, and longer product life.
What types of components are available in energy-efficient versions? Motors, gearboxes, actuators, sensors, and lighting are some of the energy-efficient components available to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and system integrators who develop automation systems.
