Innovative solutions for sustainable manufacturing focus on sustainable technologies and effective asset management while reducing energy consumption.
Innovative solutions for sustainable manufacturing focus on sustainable technologies and effective asset management while reducing energy consumption.
Our mission is to illuminate the latest sustainable technologies and practices from OEMs and practitioners, focusing on effective asset management and reducing energy consumption. We aim to bring these insights to sustainability-focused organizations through engaging blogs and informative video interviews.
The industrial sector is responsible for 54% of energy consumption, generating 9.2 billion tonnes of waste and contributing to 20-30% of greenhouse emissions annually worldwide. It's time to leverage sustainable technologies and improve asset management practices to effectively reduce these impacts.
We strive to be the go-to resource for organizations looking to enhance their asset management and make their production facilities more sustainable. This platform serves as a central hub where users can explore the latest and most impactful sustainable technologies and solutions designed to elevate the sustainability of their operations while reducing energy consumption.
We actively engage with OEMs and solution providers to spotlight their latest innovations that support sustainable manufacturing and enhance asset management. By showcasing advancements in their products that reduce energy consumption, enable waste-material recycling, and lower greenhouse gas emissions, we help organizations identify sustainable technologies that can strengthen the sustainability of their assets and operations.
We showcase the most effective sustainability products and practices that can be implemented directly at industrial sites, emphasizing the importance of asset management in optimizing energy consumption. Through regular video interviews and in‑depth blogs, we highlight innovations ranging from high‑efficiency motors and advanced leak‑detection technologies to emission‑reduction solutions and end‑of‑life strategies for manufacturing components. Our goal is to equip you with clear, practical insights into sustainable technologies so you can evaluate what’s right for your facility. Together, we can advance sustainability—one machine at a time.
Gone are the days when a company could simply place a recycling bin in the corner and claim it was doing its part for sustainability. Today’s consumers demand hard evidence of how organizations are progressing toward meaningful environmental responsibility. Customers, shareholders, and even employees want to know what their organization is doing—and what role they themselves play—in advancing sustainability through effective asset management.
Sustainability is not a new global movement, yet progress still lags behind. Nevertheless, it will only grow in importance because it is an absolute necessity for our survival. In a global economy, it no longer matters where a company is headquartered; customers can easily discover how products are manufactured and sourced with just a tap of a fingertip. If a company does not want to become irrelevant in the near future, it is crucial to take action now and improve sustainability metrics year after year, especially regarding energy consumption.
Industrial sustainability is a pressing issue because manufacturing industries are among the largest sources of emissions, energy consumption, and waste. Since the Industrial Revolution, this trend has only increased—and now we are approaching limits that threaten our long-term survival. Just as we once scaled up mass production of consumer goods, we must now scale up sustainable technologies at an industrial level if we want to make a real impact. Switching to fluorescent bulbs or placing recycling bins around a facility are positive steps, but they are only a drop in the bucket.
We need to implement energy conservation, emission control, and waste-reduction strategies directly into manufacturing equipment and processes. It is estimated that 50–53% of the world’s electric power is consumed by motors—mostly induction motors. A lot of this power is wasted in the course of manufacturing in the form of misalignment, imbalance, improper sizing and design, leaks, heat loss due to friction, and improper insulation. Proper balancing and shaft alignment alone can save an estimated 2-10% in energy. Leaks in pneumatic systems can waste as much as 30%. Beyond that, countless industrial components—bearings, lubricants, valves, fittings, gaskets, filters, and more—can dramatically reduce energy use, emissions, and waste when selected and maintained properly.
RelArc is embarking on a journey to explore practical ways to make manufacturing more sustainable. Our focus will be on highlighting evolving OEM technologies, proven practices, and success stories from manufacturers who are leading the way. Through blogs and videos, we aim to share insights that any manufacturing site can learn from as they progress on their sustainability journey.
No matter how ambitious the goal, every transformation begins with a single step. If we can share even one sustainability feature that a reader can implement immediately, we will consider it a success. Step by step, RelArc will move closer to our shared goal—and we will proudly call this effort “One machine at a time.”
