1 Ecological sustainability From European Perspective to Companies in Real Life Peter Post (Christoph Hanisch) Research Festo AG & Co. KG Esslingen/Germany CR/Post / Hanisch Ecological Sustainability 30. November

2 The Global Perspective.. Lund declaration named Grand Challenges climate change energy and water supply public health ageing societies changes in world economy Manufacturing European Grand Challenge Providing and sustaining Jobs Welfare Social security... the European Perspective CR/Post / Hanisch Ecological Sustainability 30.

3 In other words.. Any measure taken in the triangle of sustainability has of course a global effect Economy measure But if our system is out of balance the effects will be dramatic Sociology Ecology CR/Post / Hanisch Ecological Sustainability 30. November

4 Ecological sustainability: Ressource and energy efficiency maximum profit from minimal resources Ressource efficiency material energy installation Human Res. Econ. Res.

5 Multiannual roadmap of FoF: SD1 Sustainability (Environmental) Up to 20% of energy costs can be cut by monitoring production equipment, resource usage, new maintenance strategies, replacing out of date equipment, configuring systems according to differentiated processing needs, buying multi-functional devices and by simply ensuring equipment is turned off after use. Main objectives are: 1.1 Adaptive control for high efficient processes 1.2 Alternatives to energy intensive processes based on advanced manufacturing systems 1.3 Energy efficient machine tools and production equipment 1.4 Generation of renewable energies at factory level: 1.5 Zero Waste processes (e.g. R2R, Rapid manufacturing) 1.6 Processing environmental neutral materials 1.7 End of life 1.8 Clean or Self cleaning production system for zero emissions CR/Post / Hanisch Ecological Sustainability 30.

6 Industry demands on production research TOP 3: Energy efficiency... TOP6: Consumption of utilities and hazardous material... TOP 8: Material efficiency Dr. Post / Festo 6

7 Resource Efficiency in German Funding Programs (Examples) 1. Ministry of Research and Education: Call for national cooperative projects Resource Efficiency in production technology 31 projects, 180 partners, start september 2009 Innovation platform Factory of Efficency (Network of Science and Economy; Dissemination of project results); Coordination: VDMA and Fraunhofer ISI 2. Ministry of Research and Education: Green Carbody 1:5 Research Funding Innovationalliance (e.g. Volkswagen, Festo, Fraunhofer) Dr. Post / Festo

9 Ecological Sustainability: Yes, important! - But 1. Lack of knowledge about energy saving potentials 61,3% Still a long way to go in industrial i enterprises: 2. Payback period is too long 57,1% for needed investments 3. No time, too much to do 52,9% 4. No money for investments 43,2% Question: Why are energy saving potentials not used?

12 A) Products and solutions: Intelligent components with optimal energy efficiency Highly integrated t gripper HGPPI Finray gripper Servopneumatic tactile gripper Extremly lightweighted Integrated functions: Actuator, sensors, controller Low power piezo actuator Bionic antetype: Mechanical adaptive gripping fingers Integrated actuator Dr. Post / Festo 12

13 B) Systematic design layout: high energy saving potential Configuration tool (FCT) allows optimal system layout -> Up to 70% less energy consumption compared to overengineered design -> Up to 20% less investment costs Example: Initial layout Optimized layout Safety factor >> 50% 20% Paletting of an automitive part 12 kg displacement 0.5 m within 1 s Energy 195 kwh/year 60 kwh/ year consumption Purchase price = 4463 = 3672 CR/Post / Hanisch Ecological Sustainability 30.

14 C) live - continuous optimzation in applications: Energy savings under operating conditions 35 % saving potential through optimal design of comressed air installations and avoidance of leackage CR/Post / Hanisch Ecological Sustainability 30. November 2009

15 D) Research Bionic: learning from nature as teacher for sustainability CR/Post / Hanisch Ecological Sustainability 30. November

16 E) Company facilities and production plants Excellence in Energy Efficiency Holistic energy concept: - solar cells - fuel cell - combined heat and power Innovative interaction of all parts and anticipatory controll of all components Energy efficient production Production site Rohrbach, Saarland Energy cost savings of p.a. In total 38% less energy consumption, that is 3750 t less CO 2 emissionen p.a. (~ about 2000 family homes) Award at Hanover fair 2008 CR/Post / Hanisch Ecological Sustainability 30. November

17 Ecological sustainability From European Perspective to Companies in Real Life Conclusion I would like to leave you with three thoughts: - industry sets a high priority on ecological sustainability and together with academia and public administration the topic is brought forward - when someone tells you that you can save x % of energy or material or.. in production, please check, whether he has visited a production site in the last ten years - we will need to seek new forms of public private interaction to tackle the underlying problems in a way that is appropriate to the topic s urgency Peter Post (Christoph Hanisch) Research Festo AG & Co.
