NORD's ECO Service Wins MHEA Sustainability Award

NORD's ECO Service: A Game-Changer for Sustainable Manufacturing in ASEAN \\[10/29/26, 03:36 PM | Automation & IIoT, Engineering | NORD DRIVESYSTEMS] \\\\In a significant recognition of its commitment to sustainability, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has been awarded the MHEA Sustainability Award for its groundbreaking ECO Service. This accolade, presented by the Materials Handling Engineers Association (MHEA), highlights the potential of NORD ECO to revolutionize the way factories in Southeast Asia, particularly in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia, approach energy efficiency and drive system optimization. \\\\### What is NORD ECO? \\\\NORD ECO is a data-driven service that helps factory operators evaluate and improve the energy consumption and efficiency of their drive systems. The core of this service is the ECO BOX, a mobile control cabinet equipped with an integrated energy measuring device. This device continuously collects data on voltage, current, and power factor over a minimum period of two weeks, providing a comprehensive view of the drive system's performance. \\\\Once the data is collected, NORD's experts analyze it to identify load profiles, peak loads, and operational anomalies. Based on this analysis, they develop personalized solutions that can include the selection of more efficient motors, such as IE5+ synchronous motors with permanent magnet technology. These motors are ideal for applications requiring constant torque and high efficiency, even at low speeds and varying loads. \\\\### Benefits for ASEAN Factories \\\\For factories in ASEAN, the benefits of NORD ECO are substantial. In Thailand, where the manufacturing sector is a key driver of the economy, optimizing drive systems can lead to significant cost savings and reduced carbon footprints. Similarly, in Vietnam, where the electronics and automotive industries are rapidly growing, the ability to reduce energy consumption and improve operational efficiency is crucial. \\\\In Indonesia, where the food and beverage industry is a major contributor to the economy, the use of NORD ECO can help companies meet their sustainability goals while maintaining high production standards. In Malaysia, the semiconductor and medical device sectors can also benefit from the enhanced performance and reduced CO2 emissions offered by NORD ECO. \\\\### Streamlining Operations \\\\One of the key advantages of NORD ECO is its ability to streamline operations across entire systems. By optimizing the drive solution for one application, the same principles can be applied to all drives within the system, reducing the number of system variants. This not only simplifies production, logistics, and storage but also reduces administrative costs. \\\\### Concrete Takeaway for Factory Buyers \\\\For factory buyers in ASEAN, the implementation of NORD ECO offers a clear path to achieving both financial and environmental goals. By investing in more efficient drive systems, factories can reduce their energy costs, lower their carbon footprint, and improve overall operational efficiency. This not only enhances their competitiveness in the global market but also aligns with the region's growing focus on sustainable manufacturing practices. \\\\To learn more about how NORD ECO can benefit your factory, visit [nord.com](http://nord.com).
