Lean Power is a solution for reliably collecting all the electricity and energy consumption data of the entire machine and the individual actuators and for sending it to the central controller. Thanks to SmartWire-DT, innovative busbar systems with the CrossLink technology from Wöhner can be used for collecting and transferring data. Switch positions can also be transferred. The different busbar adapters are flexibly designed to take a wide range of different switchgear combinations.

Lean Power can, however, also be implemented directly with the electronic switchgear from Eaton, such as the PKE motor-protective circuit-breaker or the NZM circuit-breaker using the SmartWire-DT technology.

The benefits of Lean Power are obvious: optimum energy management for plants and machines. The information can be used for system warnings to thus significantly increase the availability of the machines. On the other hand, the information for optimizing processes can be used for preventing peak currents or for carrying out diagnostics quickly in the event of faults.
