A 'toolbox of technologies' for sustainability.
Bart G. Bartholomew, SKF USA Inc.
The targets of opportunity for sustainability improvements can be found in virtually every piece of equipment and among all applications and processes. All the while, the enabling technology 'toolbox' for sustainability is rapidly filling up with solutions.
Specific and highly practical benefits from proactive sustainability programs can accrue in reduced operating costs; increased productivity and profitability; measurable energy savings and reduced CO2 emissions; improved waste and chemicals management; enhanced equipment reliability; and better health and safety working conditions. Great strides have been made in the evolution of approaches and technologies to help realize these goals.
For example, a dominant trend pertaining to sustainability is a transition from fluid-dependent hydraulics and cumbersome pneumatics to cleaner, more environmentally friendly and simplified electromechanical actuation systems. Mechatronics technology is at the forefront.
