Actuators: Solenoid beats Pneumatics

Case study highlights the cost benefits of electromagnetic actuators versus pneumatic systems. This covers investment costs as well as energy costs over life time, hence a full TCO (total cost of ownership) approach. Case study is based on a real example.

Utilities large missed opportunity: Demand Response in manufacturing

Demand Response (DR) helps utilities to manage the peak electricity demand by temporarily shifting the demand on the consumer side instead of building new power plants. On the other hand, customers use demand response to reduce their electrical cost using the time-of-use price.
