In customer projects, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS continuously strives to reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for the customer as much as possible. TCO includes all costs associated with the purchase, use and recycling of a drive system. By using highly efficient technology combined with consistent reduction and standardization, significant optimization of life cycle costs is possible.
NORD offers a wide range of innovative products and services that support customers in drive engineering in reducing the Total Cost of Ownership of their system. NORD's modular system enables a customized reduction of versions at the time of purchase. Using the efficient drive solutions from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS, energy costs can then be significantly reduced. In addition, coordinated online tools simplify spare parts management for the relevant industries.
85% of a drive's life cycle costs are incurred during operation: energy costs, administrative costs, service and maintenance costs, training and documentation, personnel costs, spare parts storage, as well as failures and downtime, as well as recycling and disposal costs. Aspects such as energy efficiency, operational reliability, maintenance costs and version reduction are therefore essential for optimizing TCO. The long service life and low maintenance of NORD's drive systems also have a particularly positive influence on reducing the Total Cost of Ownership. A highly effective measure for reducing the Total Cost of Ownership is the use of highly efficient synchronous motors. These motors developed by NORD have an efficiency class that is sometimes even higher than IE5. The common standard in Europe is efficiency class IE3.
Synchronous motors show their full potential in part-load and low-speed range applications. Systems, such as baggage handling and mail and parcel processing, can achieve significant cost savings by using synchronous motors. High cost savings are achieved over the complete product life cycle. NORD's high-efficiency portfolio was developed with a focus on the highest energy efficiency, maximum power density and the best possible user-friendliness. It consists of the patented DuoDrive geared motor, the integrated IE5+ synchronous motor and the NORDAC ON frequency inverter. It is the ideal solution for reducing the Total Cost of Ownership.
With the NORD ECO service, NORD specialists analyze drives installed at the customer's site for their energy efficiency, their dimensioning and the number of versions, in order to draw up a customized drive concept for reducing life cycle costs for existing applications.
