The core of the lean philosophy is the identification and elimination of any waste. Complex processes, long routes, waiting times, overproduction, faults and unused potential are highlighted as waste.

The machine building sector, and in this the field of electrical control systems, offers enormous potential for optimizations and savings, which we have identified and analyzed in collaboration with our customers.

The result is Eaton's trend-setting SmartWire-DT technology. SmartWire-DT enables decentralized intelligence for Lean Automation, simple connectors lead to Lean Connectivity and Lean Power is the result of data transparency in the use of energy. These are combined to form the holistic Lean Solution approach.

An innovation, which has a decisive and positive effect on the entire value chain by integrating new technologies – from the initial investment, to planning, engineering, production and commissioning right through to trouble-free operation and maintenance of the machine.
