Industrial companies are under pressure to improve energy efficiency and reduce their carbon footprint. A major energy consumer in industry is the drive train, which consists of variable speed drives, motors, pumps, and other components. Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud, a powerful solution from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, helps companies significantly reduce the energy consumption of their drive systems through energy-based maintenance.

Continuous monitoring and AI-based optimization for greater energy efficiency The Connection Module IOT collects extensive data from the drive train and transmits it to the Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud. There, relevant operating data such as load, electrical power consumption and energy consumption of the drives are continuously calculated and displayed. Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud also helps to save energy by using advanced AI-based analysis algorithms to accurately detect deviations from the optimal operating point, monitor energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and costs, and generate optimization suggestions.

Thanks to its data-driven approach, it even precisely calculates the return on investment (ROI) so that future investments can be allocated as accurately as possible. This allows users to take targeted actions to increase energy efficiency: for example, adjusting the engine control, maintenance intervals, and load distribution. Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud also detects when an engine is operating inefficiently and automatically recommends a more efficient alternative. Using Drivetrain Analyzer Cloud can reduce the energy consumption of a drive system by 10 to 20 percent.
