Shorter and shorter innovation cycles, aggressive
competitive and high pricing pressure are challenges that
mechanical engineering companies are increasingly having
to face up to. Good reasons for use to make your everyday
work easy.
With our engineering tool chain, we offer tools for all
aspects of your engineering activities in the different phases
of a system's life cycle. They are oriented to the tasks of
mechatronic engineering and are optimally tailored to both
user and task. We also make your software engineering
easier by modularising and standardising the machine
software and thus significantly reducing the time you need
to develop your machines.
For the implementation of very different automation tasks,
we offer you intelligent solutions for controller-based or
drive-based motion control. What's more, thanks to our
energy-efficient L-force portfolio. You profit from reliable
technologies, long-lasting quality and easy handling of all
products.
As a result, not only is the number of different drive types
reduced, your entire engineering process is also shortened
and simplified. And, at the end of the day, everyone benefits.

Open standards
Lenze automation systems are open
systems! Due to the use of market
standards, we can network with the
manufacturers of other control and
drive systems at any time, an ability
that enables easy integration
into higher-level line structures. This
openness makes mechanical engineers
and even you as an end user confident
of being able to adapt to changes in the

Airports are not only transit hubs for
millions of passengers, but also for a
large amount of baggage and cargo.
They are a hotspot for intralogistical
applications with efficient conveyors
that are optimally and securely
connected to upstream and
downstream systems.
The transport of baggage at the airport
poses extreme requirements for
conveyor systems:
• High throughput of bags or bag
sorting
• Reduced energy consumption
• Easy service during running
operation
• Low noise levels
We help you meet these demands with
innovative, individual and energy-
efficient solutions.

Industry 4.0 –
Cooperative competence
becomes the new core
competence.
Engineering has always been highly
customer-oriented, transforming the
needs of customers into technical
solutions. Industry 4.0 brings in facets
and options from outside of the known
world of engineering that offer new
opportunities. Those who collaborate
better and more quickly with partners
and who integrate Industry 4.0 in more
detail will ultimately have a better
competitive edge. Collaborative skills
create an expertise that has the
answers to the trends and end
customer requirements for the next
generation of machines, allowing for
technical solutions and innovations
that bring competitive advantages to
be created:
• What benefits are most important to
you?
• What technical measures have
already been taken?
• What are your greatest challenges?
We look forward to discussing possible
shared perspectives with you.

33. 33
With all its many facets, Industry 4.0 can only succeed if all those involved, i.e. the end users, the mechanical engineers,
the technology suppliers and science, all pull together.

Much more than just remote
maintenance: Remote Services
& Analytics offer added value
for OEMs and end users.
Industry 4.0 is based on the digital
networking of machines, products and
components – and people as well, of
course.
We offer a safe platform for remote
maintenance. Using a trackable
connection, we connect the service
technician to the machine. The machine
operator is therefore assured that
only authorised persons have access
to the machines and do so only at the
selected times.
In addition, we can collect data from
the machines and save them in a
private cloud. The data are analysed
and converted into key performance
indicators that provide a deeper insight
into the functioning of the machines.
We offer you a complete cloud-based
quality management system. All cloud
services can be obtained from us in the
form of a flexible subscription service
that organises the online transfer of
machine data in a scalable manner. This
has a whole series of advantages over
an in-house system. No IT investment,
no cost-intensive software licences
and no maintenance of any kind are
required. Another crucial factor is that
complex individual programming is not
necessary.
Undoubtedly, the most secure solution:

Energy-efficient with
Lenze BlueGreen Solutions
On the basis of a holistic consideration
of the tasks involved, we show you
how the energy efficiency of your
drive applications can be increased
with intelligent drive and automation
technology. We also assist you
regarding adherence to important
standards and laws.
Three approaches are pursued in order
to increase the energy efficiency of
drives:
1. Using electrical energy intelligently:
as little as possible
• Dimensioning according to needs
• Closed-loop controlled operation
(frequency inverter)
• Energy-efficient motion control and
closed-loop control
2. Converting energy with a high
degree of efficiency
• Components with a high degree of
efficiency (motors, gearboxes)
3.Using recovered braking energy
• Energy exchange between multiple
drives
• Buffering of braking energy
• Recovery of braking energy and
potential energy
Efficient in all
respects.

Efficient drive sizing with Drive
Solution Designer (DSD)
Intelligent drive sizing is the basis for an
exactly dimensioned – and thus as
compact as possible – drive solution
with the right components. With the
DSD energy saving potential can be
seen at a glance and documented in
the Energy Performance Certificate, and
traceable comparison of different
solutions is also easy.
After all, the DSD provides a simple
view of complex sizing knowledge, with
well-founded expertise of drive
applications such as drive physics,
variants or energy efficiency. Drives are
sized based on calculations with
individual process data and speed
profiles, taking the complete structure
of the drive into consideration for the
requirements of the machine.
In DSD training we are happy to teach
you more about how to use this
engineering tool with ease.

38. 38
You can rely on our years of expertise
in drive sizing and our adapted
product range to meet the special
requirements of airport logistics. Our
products are the basis for a robust
solution that is customised for the
conditions of the airport in question.
Ready for anything:
• Sophisticated systems allow for
device replacement during running
operation
