Nowadays, energy is one of the most important prime materials in industrial processes. Highly automated industries need to have a reliable power supply and efficient energy utilisation in order to maintain both a high productivity and to be competitive. On the other hand, in industry automation, designing the automation process has an important influence on the later energy consumption. In the following case study an automated pneumatic waste collection process was studied for its energy efficiency assessment and its improvement.
