ABB ’ s President of Motion Services Erich Labuda on how industrial maintenance leaders can use data from their motor systems to drive energy efficiency , visibility and sustainability
Industrial motors are the driving force behind modern society . They play a vital role in powering processes and systems across various sectors . From pumping clean water and operating heating , ventilation and air condition ( HVAC ) systems , to powering the machinery and conveyors that produce our everyday goods , these workhorses are everywhere . Globally , there are over 300 million industrial electric motors in operation and , according to the International Energy Agency ( IEA ), they account for 45 % of the world ’ s total electricity consumption .
As the world shifts towards a more sustainable future , energy efficient solutions are gaining momentum and are readily available . This adoption , coupled with the transition to renewable energy sources , will be critical in achieving a truly sustainable industrial landscape and reaching the 1.5 ° C global warming target .
A practical solution lies in enhancing the efficiency of motors to reduce energy consumption – a move that aligns with climate objectives and global . abb 5
