Advantages of the NORD® ECO Service

Making It Measurable

With the NORD ECO BOX, you can measure the energy consumption of your drive system or your individual drives in detail for the very first time. A comprehensive data analysis will help you identify money-saving opportunities by identifying anomalies and patterns in which your energy consumption is increased.

Precise Analysis

When evaluating and interpreting the data we collect, we break down the consumption, utilization, and TCO values. This key data we obtain is then compared with other potential drive systems in order to make the best ecological and economic decision.

Access Potential

The use of optimized drive systems can reduce CO₂ emissions, lower energy consumption, and reduce costs for administration, maintenance, and wear. Additionally, variant reduction lets you streamline production, logistics, storage, and service processes.

Our Advisory Concept

The primary goal of the NORD ECO Service is to reveal savings potential in your application in order to optimize energy consumption, lower CO₂ emissions, and provide cost savings. Our advisory concept is based on extensive experience in the production of electric motors and cooperation with customers from over 100 industries worldwide. This collective knowledge is used to develop better drives and offer you suitable products for application optimization.

Measuring Performance Data

After installation of the NORD ECO BOX between the drive and power supply, real-time data on permanent loads, load peaks, and irregular conditions is recorded over a period of two months. This long data capture period leads to higher data density, revealing patterns and anomalies, and enabling the generation of a load cycle for the entire system.

An energy measuring device within the NORD ECO BOX tracks current and voltage. It determines the effective or reactive power, i.e. the actual energy consumption, and calculates the proportional power factor.

Data Evaluation

Upon completion of data collection, all information is uploaded to a custom software program developed by NORD and is automatically evaluated. You will receive the final evaluation in the form of a PDF document, which outlines the essential key data. If you need assistance in interpreting the data, we're happy to provide that.

Because the amount of the recorded data is so large, it gives you an exact system reading, which gives you greater insight as to whether or not your system is meeting the requirements of its application. Oversizing is one of the most common points that play a role in the optimization for energy efficiency.

Alternative Components

In our 40 years of experience in manufacturing and using electric motors, we've gained a wide range of insights into practical applications. An example of this is the use of a drive system with an average power consumption of 1.1 kW, peaking at 1.9 kW, driven by a 4 kW motor. In this case, the drive utilization is only 30 percent and thus bears a correspondingly high savings potential. The use of a motor with powers of 2.2 kW increases the utilization to nearly 50 % and still offers reserves for potential additional loads.

Large systems may have numerous drives. For example, in the intralogistics industry, the NORD® ECO Service can help not only to optimize the power used by the individual drive systems, but also to reduce the number of different systems. This also reduces costs and required capacities for maintenance and spare parts logistics.

Variant Reduction

The significant advantages of a NORD® ECO measurement for a single drive system increase when viewed over the entire system. Take the intralogistics industry, for example: an ECO Service measurement can lead to a significant reduction of the different drive systems. Such a reduction in the number of variants can help to minimize administrative costs over the entire system. It also helps to streamline production, logistics, storage, and service processes. The highly efficient NORD motors, which provide constant torque over a wide speed range, are particularly suitable for reducing the number of variants.

NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has carried out numerous measurements to create load profiles of drive systems. We offer our service for plants with both our own and third-party components. A large number of customers already benefited from the NORD ECO Service and have improved their energy efficiency during production, reducing their carbon footprint.
