Energy Efficiency in Manufacturing Systems

Meer over het boek

Focusing on energy efficiency in manufacturing, this book explores the potential for improvements by analyzing process chains and entire factories rather than isolated machines. It emphasizes the importance of dynamic interactions among processes and auxiliary equipment, such as compressed air systems. The innovative methodology presented includes a generic energy flow-oriented manufacturing simulation environment, integrated into a practical application cycle. Various case studies, including aluminium die casting and weaving mills, showcase the methodology's wide applicability and benefits.
