Industrial companies face complex challenges: On the one hand, they must maximize productivity and minimize operating costs; on the other hand, they must meet regulatory and societal requirements regarding environmental protection and climate neutrality. These conflicting objectives necessitate the development of technologies, products, and processes that combine efficient resource use with ecological benefits.

Maintenance is a crucial lever in this context. The targeted use of high-quality, durable, and efficient components such as rolling bearings helps to reduce machine energy consumption, extend their service life, and thus conserve resources. The SKF Partner Program enables the optimization of drive technology-related products and processes so that they not only extend machine uptime but also reduce environmental impact. Predictive maintenance and intelligent maintenance strategies in drive technology reduce costs and free up skilled personnel.

As the first partner in the program, PIEL will now utilize SKF sophisticated climate efficiency analysis tools in its consulting services and be able to demonstrate the effects of different applications and solutions on CO2 emissions. The advantages at a glance: – Longer service life of machines and systems – Fewer unplanned downtimes – Reduced maintenance and spare parts costs – Sustainable resource use – Measurable CO₂ savings
