Smart drives and control platforms provide a way for companies to improve manufacturing while lowering price, enabling them to deliver more for less.

1. The Paradox of Smart Manufacturing
Elmo Motion Control (May 2018)

2. The world is constantly demanding
better products, better pricing.
Fast, simple and accessible consumerism
challenges our modern manufacturing
capacity.

3. Manufacturing and factories are transforming
Industrial movements & governmental initiatives
Look to boost economic growth through
The manufacturing sectors
Manufacturing
Innovation 3.0
What exactly is this “Smart”
transformation in the industrial world?
Smart Machine
Smart
Warehousing
Smart Factory

4. To become “Smart”
factories are doing
many things
It’s all about
manufacturing.
Manufacturing

5. Flexibility Efficiency Quality Technology
It’s all about
manufacturing.

8. At the heart of smart factories and smart machines are
smart, distributed motion control systems
This Paradox can only be broken by Technology
These systems can help achieving:

9. Case Study: Utilizing Smart motion-control
to get more for less
 One of the largest electronics manufacturers in China
 Rising market demand - needed to ramp up production
 Decided to upgrade machines and robotics first by
means of servo and control (Pick & Place, inspection
and component testing)
Get more from mechanics with
Smart Control
Save with Lean Motion Control
Achieve More with Smart Safety

10. 20-50% improvement in robot
throughput by smart servo control only
Save on expensive Mechanics
or equipping with a new machine
Get more from mechanics with
Smart Control
Save with Lean Motion Control
Achieve More with Smart Safety

11. Reduce machine footprint
With compact servo drive
Eliminate Electrical Cabinets
Less cables, and carriers
With load mounted Nano servo
drives
Get more from mechanics with
Smart Control
Save with Lean Motion Control
Achieve More with Smart Safety
Eliminate expensive and wasteful cooling systems
and fans With highly efficient & “Green” drives
4-in-1 Servo Solution
10000W 5000W

12. Relying on the servo drive
for critical safety functions
is a huge advantage for
manufacturing.
Added Machine Functionality
Through innovative safety features
Simplified Machine
Replace Safety Hardware for motion Software
Less Expensive
Replace Power Components for Logic Level
Advanced Functional Safety over the Network:
Get more from mechanics with
Smart Control
Save with Lean Motion Control
Achieve More with Smart Safety
Less Hardware
Less Price
Less Time to Market
