Energy-efficient components have long been standard in mechanical engineering. However, in an energy system dominated by volatile renewable sources, mere saving is no longer sufficient.

In the future, machines must become energy managers themselves – but this also means that they must be designed to be intelligent and connected. Individual components no longer determine the energy efficiency of a machine, but rather holistic, systematic approaches.(Source: © j-mel – stock.adobe.com)

The transformation of the energy system is progressing. Wind and solar energy form the backbone of supply in the renewable energy concept. The consequence of this: energy provision fluctuates massively. For the industry, traditionally a consumer with constant demand, this means a paradigm shift. The times when energy was always available and prices were stable are over.
