The document discusses five catalysts for change in manufacturing technology: space demands, flexibility, safety, efficiency, and connectivity. Cabinet-free drive technology addresses these issues by eliminating control cabinets, making production lines more modular and flexible for expansion. This reduces downtime during changes and expansion. It also allows for safer operation through integrated safety functions and increased machine availability after interventions. Cabinet-free drives improve energy efficiency through energy regeneration and sharing between drives, reducing power consumption and costs.
