Danfoss Drives To Host Four Business-Relevant Factory Efficiency Days

From 25 May to 8 June, Danfoss Drives will be hosting four business-relevant Factory Efficiency Days, in order to provide primarily European participants with valuable and innovative ideas on how to elevate energy efficiency in their factories.

Renowned, expert industry speakers have been invited to cover everything from energy policies to energy management, distribution, and consumption and to take attendees through some of the technical trends that shape the society in 2021.

Overall factory efficiency

Besides Danfoss’ own factory efficiency experts, an impressive lineup of prominent thought leaders will be joining the sessions: Hugo Salamanca from the IEA, Olaf Kuhnt and Cebastien Foum-Tsakou from the Wilo Group, Jakov Perisic from Molsom Coors, professor Holder Borcherding, Davis Meike from Mercedes-Benz and Peter Markussen from Energinet.

The four events will take place from 09:00-10:30 CET and be individually themed. However, the common denominator will be improving overall factory efficiency.

Green energy transition

Michael Burghardt will shine a light on AC drives as a contributor to increased energy efficiency

Energy efficiency is the first fuel and it’s readily available - 25 May 2021 - For the first live event, Hugo Salamanca, Energy Policy Analyst at IEA, will present the benefits of increasing energy efficiency across industries thus kick-starting the much-needed green energy transition.

Continuing down the energy efficiency path, Michael Burghardt, Danfoss Drives, will shine a light on AC drives as a contributor to increased energy efficiency in motor-driven production systems in Europe.

Cebastien Foumouo-Tsakau and Olaf Kuhnt from the Wilo Group share how they managed to reduce their factories’ energy consumption by more than 35%!

Increasing factory efficiency

Data is power. Use it to enhance your performance. - 27 May 2021 - In this session, Jakov Perisic from Molson Coors details the value industry 4.0 technologies can add to the shop floor.

In his experience, predictive maintenance delivers both manufacturing reliability and reduces production costs. Jörg Dannehl from Danfoss Drives shares ready-to-implement insights on how AC drives can ease the work and simultaneously increase factory efficiency.

Enhance factory efficiency

Olli-Pekka Aalto, will talk about digitalizing and redesigning the industrial energy supply

Is DC-industry the production concept of the future? - 1 June 2021 - For the third event, DC-industry to enhance factory efficiency is the overriding theme. Olli-Pekka Aalto, Danfoss Drives will talk about digitalizing and redesigning the industrial energy supply of the future.

Holger Borcherding, a professor at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Ostwestfalen-Lippe, is an absolute expert on industrial DC grids in modern factories and determined to solve the challenges of industrial energy supply using direct current.

Another pioneer joining this session is Davis Meike from Mercedes-Benz. He has exciting insights to share about the current state of technology and a pilot project from the automotive industry.

Current energy system

Paving the way for a green and reliable pan-European power supply - 8 June 2021 - For the fourth and final event, Peter Markussen from Energinet speaks about the progress as well as the challenges they’re facing in the green transition of the current energy system.

Peter Markussen is joined by the Senior Vice President Sales, Marketing, and Services of Danfoss Drives, Søren Kvorning, who knows how transformational energy-efficient thinking can be to businesses. Søren Kvorning will present the smart solutions industry already has to offer.
