‘Energy Savings’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Thermometers feature advanced signal processing from Ircon, which we summarised at the time by saying "Ircon has introduced the Modline 6 Series of infrared thermometers with advanced signal processing and background-reflected energy compensation capabilities. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Q-Sys provides custom-designed motion systems from Q-Sys: "Q-Sys offers a complete design-and-build service for all types of precision motion and positioning systems. ".

In November 2009, we covered the news from ABB Automation Tech (Drives and Motors) - take a look at ABB drives reduce swimming pool energy bills which says: "ABB drives have helped a UK holiday park operator save GBP77,000 a year on energy bills for its swimming pools. ".

Take a look also at the news release from ControlEng Corp, Servosoft ECM determines energy costs, as well as NI expands HIL simulation platform from National Instruments, and Airchannel helps timber specialist save energy from Airchannel.
