Sustainable Engineering Wins in Manufacturing

Reliance NI, in partnership with Manufacturing NI, recently hosted “Sustainable Engineering Wins in Manufacturing”, a webinar exploring how energy efficiency delivers both financial and environmental benefits. With motors consuming 46% of global electricity, efficiency is no longer just about cutting costs, it’s a critical strategy for building sustainable and competitive operations. Case studies highlighted payback in as little as 3–6 months, with annual savings of up to £37,000 and reductions of 73 tonnes of CO₂.

Key Takeaways

• Smart sustainable technologies that are easy to install typically save at least 10% on energy costs.
• Beyond savings, these solutions also enhance maintenance programs and operational performance.
• Site application audits are available by Reliance on request.

Some Proven technologies include:

• Invertek Optidrive™ variable frequency drives (VFDs)

• Optibelt Red Power V Belts
