Efficiency and sustainability have become increasingly crucial for industrial automation clients. ABB Robotics has introduced a Vitality Efficiency Service, providing manufacturers with a comprehensive package of consulting sessions, assessments, and tools to enhance the energy efficiency of their robots.
The new energy-efficient system promises a substantial 30% reduction in power consumption, according to the company’s claims. According to a recent Vitality Effectivity Motion report, high prime power prices are identified as a significant obstacle hindering the competitiveness of 58% of international producers who have been surveyed.
“Reducing energy consumption takes precedence for manufacturers, with a staggering 93% of respondents indicating they plan to invest in power-efficiency upgrades within the next three years to drive down costs and demonstrate progress towards more sustainable operations.”
“Our innovative service will achieve these objectives by streamlining robotic productivity through optimized power effectiveness, refining efficiency, and leveraging cutting-edge robotic technologies,” he said.

Determining the extent of power waste has proven to be a challenging endeavor.
Assessing the efficiency of robots has traditionally entailed a complex task, requiring the measurement of various electrical parameters, according to ABB Robotics. It has proven challenging to quantify the impact of factors such as inadequate setup, component misalignment, excessive loading, and utility modifications that can significantly influence a robot’s performance.
To maximize energy efficiency in industrial settings, ABB Robotics has developed the Vitality Efficiency Service, which leverages its unparalleled 50-year history in commercial robotics and cutting-edge power monitoring tools. The corporation aims to provide a straightforward method for evaluating and maximizing the efficiency of robotics.

The Vitality Effectivity Service boasts a trifecta of tools.
Three key tools are offered: Standby Vitality Optimization, Programme Optimization, and Vitality Monitoring and Benchmarking.
Clients can utilize an external device to accurately measure the actual power consumption of their robots. ABB generates comprehensive reports featuring actionable insights and tailored recommendations to minimize energy waste and optimize system performance, providing a roadmap for further enhancements.
The device scrutinizes a robotic’s programming to pinpoint opportunities for optimisation, thereby reducing energy waste. By leveraging stored data from the robotic system, the device is able to pinpoint modifications akin to recalibrating the robot’s speed settings or modifying its trajectory routes that can subsequently optimize performance while reducing energy consumption.
The device allows for steady monitoring of robotic power consumption and enables comparable analysis. The article provides insights into energy usage, accompanied by recommendations for enhancing performance and contrasts with robotic applications relevant to the topic.
