Cover story: Energy management
- Ever since manufacturers started migrating far beyond North American borders, those remaining at home have had no choice but to be more effective, more efficient, leaner and greener. Energy management has two parts: measuring how much energy is consumed, where and at what times; and then doing something about it. You can't have one without the other, though some have tried.
Michelle Mora explores the processes and players involved in successful energy management strategies – and highlights companies who are getting it right.
Plus: The latest news, appointment announcements and trends, as well as a selection of the latest in wireless technology and security, communications & networking, data acquisition, motion control, process control and wire & cable offerings. Not to mention coverage of the Machine Automation Safety Conference.
Check out the Calendar of Events on the Manufacturing AUTOMATION website for more upcoming industry seminars, conferences, shows and training sessions.
