The Three Pillars of Industrial Digital Platforms

04/15/21, 05:36 AM | Automation & Networking | Design & Development

In an increasingly digitalized world, innovative manufacturers are moving away from selling products and services towards selling advanced platform services such as fleet management services or autonomous solutions. To develop advanced platform services, manufacturers are required to develop an industrial digital platform. However, many manufacturers are struggling to develop their digital platforms. Indeed, despite all the media hype, digital platforms did not experience wide adoption in the B2B context. A recent study explored four world-leading construction equipment manufacturers that developed highly advanced industrial digital platforms. The research shows the three-step model to develop an effective industrial digital platform, focusing on platform architecture, platform services, and platform governance.

Efficient. Hygienic. Compact. NORD IE5+ Motors Offer New Levels of Energy Efficiency

The existing generation of NORD IE3 and IE4 motors already offer impressive efficiency, but the new IE5+ technology takes this one step further, delivering even more efficiency at low speeds and partial loads, resulting in additional operational cost reduction. IE5+ motors are extremely versatile and can be used for a wide range of applications including food and beverage, intralogistics, airport baggage handling, and post and parcel industries that frequently operate at partial loads or reduced speeds and may need to quickly adjust load size and speeds.
