Total cost of ownership
If NORD recommends a different
drive after a measurement, the company
also offers an additional service.
“We then offer to operate the system
with the drive recommended by us
and to perform a second measurement
in the same period”, the Head
of Marketing says. The evaluations
can be compared in a TCO analysis
(Total Cost of Ownership), and the
most cost- and energy-efficient solution
can be determined.

inverter in NORD’s DuoDrive are optimally
matched and enable a system efficiency of
up to 92 percent
ommend replacing an IE3 or IE4 motor
with a high- efficiency IE5+ drive.
In case a standard drive does not
cover the requirements, NORD also
offers a customised solution.
Reduction of variants
As significant as the advantages of a
NORD ECO measurement are for an
individual drive system, they increase
even further when viewed over an
entire system. For large systems with
several drives, such as in intralogistics,
the ECO service can significantly
reduce the number of different
drive systems. Such a variant reduction
helps to minimise administrative
costs over an entire system and
streamline production, logistics, storage
and service processes. The high-

installed power with the actual consumption,

variants in a system
efficiency NORD motors, which provide
a constant torque over a large
speed range, are particularly suitable
for a reduction of variants.
NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has already
created the load profiles of drive systems
in numerous measurements.
The company offers this service for
systems with both its own and thirdparty
components. “It goes without
saying that we treat the recorded customer
data with confidentiality”, the
drive expert emphasises. “With our
ECO service, we have already helped
many customers in improving the
energy efficiency of their production
and therefore reducing their carbon
footprint.”
