Case stories
Predictive maintenance for raised productivity and increased uptime

With the right drives, you can embrace Industry 4.0 head on, raising productivity and identifying issues before they happen. Through access to real-time data and predictive and condition-based monitoring, our drives provide such in-depth insight into your equipment that you can predict when challenges will occur. This makes it possible to schedule maintenance at the most opportune moments and minimize downtime. This, in turn, means you can optimize operations and squeeze every drop of value out of your ingredients.

Learn how Rivoira Group optimized its refrigeration systems to keep their apples fresh all year round.
Maximum flexibility at lower cost

With our VLT® FlexConcept™ you get 70% higher efficiency with the added benefits of lower training and maintenance costs and the flexibility of open system architecture — so easier to integrate.

Learn how Barilla reduced complexity, optimized space and minimized their carbon footprint with decentralized drives from Danfoss.

Make every drop count
Make every drop count

Using our VLT® AutomationDrive and VLT® drive control solutions, Arla Foods Ingredients’ Videbæk food plant now delivers products with an even higher grade of lactose than previously possible. In addition, the manufacturer has increased production fourfold while making energy savings of between 5-15% across its pumps and fan motors.

Fit for a king
Fit for a king

In need of equipment that could take the complexity out of large-scale production without burning out, Danish Crown shifted from a closed-loop, servo solution to 1,000 VLT® drives with in-built Integrated Motion Controllers. More than five years on, not one motor has had to be replaced — saving the manufacturer 30,000 euros a year in motor
replacement costs alone.
