Not only is energy-saving the first step toward cutting costs and fighting high energy bills, it also makes an important contribution towards more sustainable business activities. Machinery interconnection with the company network, remote assistance and the use of energy consumption meters make it possible to monitor individual machine trends and take timely action on the less performing aspects, in order to save time and precious resources. In order to provide its customers with the right tools for coping with rising energy and raw material costs, Microline offers the possibility of incorporating devices into its machines to check the energy efficiency of the individual solutions, for example monitoring of air and electricity consumption. This makes it possible to measure and collect useful information for analysing machine trends and intervening where possible to avoid pointless waste and additional costs.
