Machinery
Challenges
The role of the circular economy
General
- Embracing the multi-site model.
- Connecting machines, remote management and incorporating Artificial Intelligence.
- Specialised human resources (dual apprenticeships, machine assemblers, etc.).
- Move from selling machines to selling solutions.
Priority strategies and approaches
- Ecodesign of machinery.
- Re-manufacturing and retrofitting.
- Servitisation linked to monitoring systems, IoT and pay-as-you-go, pay-per use or pay-byresult models.
- Recyclability of machines.
- Technical improvements in processes and machine tool.
- Cleaner technologies.
- Environmental drive of the chain.
Environmental
- Environmental impact and energy consumption (83% of the impact/costs occur during the use phase).
- Quantity of raw materials used (in the construction of machinery and derived products).
- Reduced use of oils and lubricants.
Competitive improvements
- Reduced weight of parts.
- Mass reduction.
- New milling machine models.
- Reduced energy consumption per machine.
- Reduced compressed air consumption.
- Reduced lubrication oil.
- Cutting fluid disposal.
- Auto-shut-down for machinery.
- Regeneration regulators.
- Optimised pneumatic and hydraulic drives.
- Energy-efficient engines.
