Driving the future
By identifying motors that had low operating efficiency or were wrongly dimensioned and thus underutilized, Waggeryd has been able to pinpoint which six of its 400+ motors to modernize first. In addition, it now experiences improved motor reliability and availability, reducing costly and energy-inefficient downtime.

Watch: ABB + Waggeryd Cell

“We have gotten improved energy efficiency by working with ABB. By using their energy reports, we can identify assets like incorrectly dimensioned motors, or old motors with poor efficiency, and replace them. The power of digitalization has also resulted in fewer unplanned production stops, as we can rectify potential errors well in advance of a breakdown. The most important thing for us is that the factory runs every hour of every day of the year, with very few unplanned stops. When we achieve a high production level, then we are truly energy efficient.”
