aktor-e: 1-Click Energy Optimization for Factories
aktor-e aims to equip manufacturing factories with a one-click energy optimization mode. In prior research, we have shown that intelligent control can run manufacturing machines up to 30% more energy-efficiently.
Current developments allow us to evolve legacy machine controllers into intelligent and connected edge devices. aktor-e thus ventures into developing highly scalable and fault-tolerant software solutions that intelligently optimize energy-efficiency and hardware longevity while ensuring the best productivity of the factory—all at the click of a button. While parts of our technology have been successfully validated in operational manufacturing systems, we are yet to demonstrate the scale-up needed to achieve commercial viability and environmental impact. We are thus looking to connect with industry partners, domain experts, and business leaders that can feed into turning aktor-e’s vision into an off-the-shelf product.
