Factory networks energy, buildings and production

Darmstadt model project is testing the production of the future

The ETA Factory concept aims to reduce energy consumption and increase load flexibility. This is achieved by treating the energy system for the building and production as a whole.

The production area depicts a typical process chain for metalworking and includes characteristic processes such as machining or grinding. Intelligent control systems ensure that there is always enough energy at the right time and in the right place.

Energy efficiency played an important role in the choice of machine tools used. These are one fifth more efficient than conventional reference systems.

In Darmstadt, an interdisciplinary team from the mechanical engineering, engineering sciences, architecture and communication technology fields is behind the project. Practical experience is provided by joint working groups with various branches of industry.
