Shorter and shorter innovation cycles, aggressive competitive and high pricing pressure are challenges that mechanical engineering companies are increasingly having to face up to. Good reasons for use to make your everyday work easy.

With our engineering tool chain, we offer tools for all aspects of your engineering activities in the different phases of a system's life cycle. They are oriented to the tasks of mechatronic engineering and are optimally tailored to both user and task. We also make your software engineering easier by modularising and standardising the machine software and thus significantly reducing the time you need to develop your machines.

For the implementation of very different automation tasks, we offer you intelligent solutions for controller-based or drive-based motion control. What's more, thanks to our energy-efficient L-force portfolio. You profit from reliable technologies, long-lasting quality and easy handling of all products.

As a result, not only is the number of different drive types reduced, your entire engineering process is also shortened and simplified. And, at the end of the day, everyone benefits.

Efficient software solutions• Consistent

engineering tool chain over the entire life cycle

• Intelligent motion control with standardised technology functions.

the easy way. This reduces your motion software engineering work by up to 80%, which in turn leads to a considerable reduction of the time you need to develop the basic functions of your machine.

Open standardsLenze automation systems are open systems! Due to the use of market standards, we can network with the manufacturers of other control and drive systems at any time, an ability that enables easy integration

into higher-level line structures. This openness makes mechanical engineers and even you as an end user confident of being able to adapt to changes in the future.

Software engineering made easyWith Lenze FAST, our application software toolbox, you can combine intelligent standardised software modules for very different technology modules in a single template and thus create your machine software

Airports are not only transit hubs for millions of passengers, but also for a large amount of baggage and cargo. They are a hotspot for intralogistical applications with efficient conveyors that are optimally and securely connected to upstream and downstream systems.

The transport of baggage at the airport poses extreme requirements for conveyor systems:

• High throughput of bags or bag sorting

• Reduced energy consumption• Easy service during running

operation• Low noise levels

We help you meet these demands with innovative, individual and energy-efficient solutions.

Industry 4.0 – Cooperative competence becomes the new core competence.Engineering has always been highly customer-oriented, transforming the needs of customers into technical solutions. Industry 4.0 brings in facets and options from outside of the known world of engineering that offer new opportunities. Those who collaborate better and more quickly with partners and who integrate Industry 4.0 in more detail will ultimately have a better competitive edge. Collaborative skills create an expertise that has the answers to the trends and end customer requirements for the next generation of machines, allowing for

technical solutions and innovations that bring competitive advantages to be created:• What benefits are most important to

you?• What technical measures have

already been taken?• What are your greatest challenges?

We look forward to discussing possible shared perspectives with you.

33

With all its many facets, Industry 4.0 can only succeed if all those involved, i.e. the end users, the mechanical engineers, the technology suppliers and science, all pull together.

Much more than just remote maintenance: Remote Services & Analytics offer added value for OEMs and end users.Industry 4.0 is based on the digital networking of machines, products and components – and people as well, of course.

We offer a safe platform for remote maintenance. Using a trackable connection, we connect the service technician to the machine. The machine operator is therefore assured that only authorised persons have access to the machines and do so only at the selected times.

In addition, we can collect data from the machines and save them in a private cloud. The data are analysed and converted into key performance indicators that provide a deeper insight into the functioning of the machines. We offer you a complete cloud-based quality management system. All cloud services can be obtained from us in the form of a flexible subscription service that organises the online transfer of machine data in a scalable manner. This has a whole series of advantages over an in-house system. No IT investment, no cost-intensive software licences and no maintenance of any kind are required. Another crucial factor is that complex individual programming is not necessary.

Undoubtedly, the most secure solution: The maximum security level "Financial Grade Security"• Encrypted data from the network

to the cloud• NCP standard• Transparent data exchange in the

company networkReady for the future• OPC-UA access to Lenze controllers• Permanent data transfer to the cloud• All data are available for immediate

Energy-efficient with Lenze BlueGreen SolutionsOn the basis of a holistic consideration of the tasks involved, we show you how the energy efficiency of your drive applications can be increased with intelligent drive and automation technology. We also assist you regarding adherence to important standards and laws.

Three approaches are pursued in order to increase the energy efficiency of drives:

1. Using electrical energy intelligently: as little as possible• Dimensioning according to needs• Closed-loop controlled operation

(frequency inverter)• Energy-efficient motion control and

closed-loop control2. Converting energy with a high degree of efficiency• Components with a high degree of

efficiency (motors, gearboxes)3.Using recovered braking energy• Energy exchange between multiple

drives• Buffering of braking energy• Recovery of braking energy and

potential energy

Efficient in all respects.

37

Efficient drive sizing with Drive Solution Designer (DSD)Intelligent drive sizing is the basis for an exactly dimensioned – and thus as compact as possible – drive solution with the right components. With the DSD energy saving potential can be seen at a glance and documented in the Energy Performance Certificate, and traceable comparison of different solutions is also easy.

After all, the DSD provides a simple view of complex sizing knowledge, with well-founded expertise of drive applications such as drive physics, variants or energy efficiency. Drives are sized based on calculations with individual process data and speed profiles, taking the complete structure of the drive into consideration for the requirements of the machine.

In DSD training we are happy to teach you more about how to use this engineering tool with ease.

38

You can rely on our years of expertise in drive sizing and our adapted product range to meet the special requirements of airport logistics. Our products are the basis for a robust solution that is customised for the conditions of the airport in question.
