ENERGY EFFICIENCY OF AUTOMATED MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS: INNOVATIONS, CHALLENGES AND THE FUTURE OF INDUSTRIAL ENERGY

Nowadays, optimizing energy efficiency is a key factor for the sustainable development of industry, especially in the field of automated manufacturing systems. These systems are design to streamline production and reduce human intervention, but at the same time, they also pose a challenge in terms of energy consumption. This article deals with various aspects of energy efficiency in automated manufacturing systems. It describes the factors that affect energy consumption and identifies technologies and practices that can lead to reductions in energy consumption, costs and emissions. Automated manufacturing systems use robotics, sensors and advanced control systems to optimize manufacturing processes. Thanks to these technologies, production can be faster, more accurate and more efficient. However, these systems can have high-energy consumption, especially in the case of complex and non-optimized processes. Therefore, it is important to use intelligent control and monitoring systems that allow optimizing energy consumption in real time.
