Why MDS?
With electric motor driven systems in industry and commerce, together with their associated pumps, fans and compressors, comprising 40% of the world's total electricity consumption, it is clear that this is an area demanding serious analysis and positive action. Given there is existing, new and future legislation that many are not aware of, as well as new and existing technologies that offer the potential to reduce the energy demand of motor systems across the global economy by as much as 20% to 30%, the potential monetary savings are enormous.
