Customised lubrication projects to improve efficiency and optimise processes in Industry 4.0
Modern industry is facing increasing pressure to optimise its processes and reduce its environmental impact. The search for more sustainable and efficient solutions has become a priority for both social responsibility and government regulations.
FUCHS Smart Services provides companies with a reliable partner to improve existing processes and design new ones from scratch, incorporating efficient lubrication solutions from the planning stage that will improve their energy efficiency and optimise their production processes.
Responsible for about 37% of global energy-related CO2 emissions and consuming about 54% of the total final energy produced in the world - according to data compiled by the International Energy Agency - the manufacturing industry is one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption worldwide.
As society's awareness of environmental issues increases, companies are committing considerable resources to research and development of technologies to reduce their carbon footprint and improve their energy efficiency. This is an investment in cleaner processes that not only meets ethical and regulatory demands, but is also financially beneficial in the short, medium and long term.
Reducing operating costs is key to achieving significant competitive advantages in an increasingly globalised market. It is easy to see how optimising production processes can reduce the company's energy consumption. In the current context, where energy prices are reaching record highs year after year, increasing energy efficiency is one of the most effective ways to increase competitiveness.

The importance of lubrication solutions for the optimisation of production processes
In this respect, machinery and equipment lubrication solutions play a key role. Only through the right choice of lubricants and their precise application can friction and heat be reduced, leading to improved operating efficiency and minimising the need for maintenance. Conversely, inadequate lubrication can result in increased energy consumption, premature equipment wear and reduced service life.
So, by implementing the right lubrication solutions, not only efficiency, but also sustainability is improved. Reducing friction and wear lessens the need for frequent component replacement, which in turn lowers waste generation and demand on natural resources.
Aware of these issues, companies in industrial sectors that are so important for the Spanish and global economy, such as the automotive, metalworking, aeronautics and many other industries, have been investing in more efficient and effective lubrication solutions for years.
By implementing the right lubrication solutions, not only efficiency, but also sustainability is improved. They lower waste generation and demand for natural resources.
