App Offers Sequential Motor Management Solutions

The 1-2-3 Approach to Motor Management, a unique software tool, provides industrial and commercial facility managers with a method for reducing downtime and saving energy that involves proactive management of their motor fleets. Via three sequential steps, the application calculates energy costs and savings, financial impact of motor repair or replacement, payback periods for NEMA Premium motors, and investment return and net present value. Finally, it prints tags that identify the best repair and/or replacement options for each motor and generates a summary report. Said to be both fast and easy to use, the tool marks a starting point for small to mid-size companies that may not have the resources to develop motor-management plans.
