Yesterday, FEV Consulting, the management consulting firm of FEV Group was honored with the "Sustainability Award in Automotive" at the 18th International MTZ Congress on Future Drives in #Chemnitz. FEV Consulting was recognized for the development of “CycleBat”, an innovative and highly sophisticated model for predicting costs and CO₂-emissions along the entire life cycle of a vehicle battery. “CycleBat” helps manufacturers of electric vehicles and their components to fulfill their Extended Producer Responsibility, #EPR. The model takes into account the entire life cycle of a vehicle #battery, with a particular focus on the #EndofLife. Starting with #recycling technologies, the development of a corresponding #ecosystem and the economic effects of scale, "CycleBat" can be used to model the entire costs and make the ecological footprint of battery recycling visible.   Find out more about “CycleBat” in our press release at https://lnkd.in/eJAM8fJ8 or get in touch with our colleagues from FEV Consulting, Alexander Nase, Hagen Wegner or Markus Volkening.   #FeelEvolution #battery #recycling #SustainabilityinAutomotiveAward #Sustainability #ATZlive

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our newest #FuelOpt feature: #TrimSense! 🎯 🛳️ Designed to optimise trim, it has the potential to deliver fuel savings of up to 4%! TrimSense is a simple #upgrade to existing FuelOpt systems, compatible with all vessel types, and promises a short payback period. 📢Our Chief Commercial Officer Richard Engelhart Bjercke says: "Having recently celebrated over 400 sales of FuelOpt, MMT is proud to bring greater cost savings, emissions reduction and operational optimisation to its customers with TrimSense™." #TrimSense collects accurate, real-time data 📊 from high-frequency inclination sensors, using a processing algorithm to display constant measurements of trim – the difference between the forward and aft draught of a vessel. Changes in trim affect vessel performance, and by optimising 📈 trim accounting for draught and vessel speed, propulsion power requirements can be lowered and fuel saved. ✅🌊 📰 The full press release can be read here: https://lnkd.in/dzf2XScZ #FuelOpt #TrimSense #Sustainability #MaritimeInnovation #Efficiency #VesselOptimisation #Trim #ShipsAndShipping #MantaMarine

Europack has supplied systems for handling and palletising all types of packed products. The solutions they design for their customers represent the application of the most advanced end-of-line technologies. Rotating beam palletisers supplied by Europack are ideal for factories which are short on space, whilst still offering all the flexibility and speed of a 4-axis robot palletiser. Speeds of up to 720 cycles per hour are possible, and so The Winner range has a machine to suit all budgets. Similar to energy regeneration systems on many hybrid cars, their Kinetic Energy Recovery System means that all Europack machines use up to 70% less energy than conventional robotic palletisers, significantly cutting down on running costs. Europack palletising models include: - SCARA WINNER 800 GREEN 660 ÷ 720 cycles/hour - WINNER 600 GREEN 540 ÷ 600 cycles/hour - WINNER 500/ER 420 ÷ 480 cycles/hour - WINNER 500/GR 380 ÷ 450 cycles/hour - WINNER 400/ER 360 ÷ 420 cycles/hour - WINNER 300/ER 300 ÷ 360 cycles/hour - WINNER 250/ER 240 ÷ 300 cycles/hour #automation #automationinmanufacturing #growth #industry #pickandplace #europack #manufacturing #technology #Handling #HandlingEquipment #palletiser #depalletiser #lita

By loading cars vertically into specially designed railcars, this innovative method maximized space efficiency, allowing up to 30 cars per boxcar compared to the conventional 18, ultimately reducing freight costs by up to 40%. 𝗚𝗠 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝘀 spearheaded the development of the Vert-A-Pac, implementing unique oil baffles to prevent spills, customized carburetors and batteries, and plastic spacers to safeguard the powertrain during transit. This pioneering approach not only ensured cost savings but also guaranteed the secure delivery of vehicles, marking a significant milestone in car transport efficiency.
