Targeted increase in energy efficiency with the EDNA Energy Manager

by Oliver Hagenlocher 14. January 2026

In modern manufacturing operations, energy efficiency is one of the key parameters for profitability and sustainability. With the new EDNA Energy Manager, EMAG now offers a software solution that addresses this challenge: It enables intelligent control of FANUC-controlled machines and targeted energy savings – without operator intervention. Automated time and energy saving profiles can be used to optimally plan and implement both the start-up process and idle phases. The result: lower energy costs, higher machine availability and a contribution to sustainable production.

Energy efficiency: We use all levers to boost sustainable production

by Oliver Hagenlocher 21. December 2023

There is no “one” big lever that can be used to improve the energy efficiency of machine tools. Instead, it is important to take a holistic view of all energy flows and that is EMAG’s approach, which the specialists apply to every new development as well as to the retrofitting of older machines. In conversation with Konrad Heimbach, Lead Engineer Energy Efficiency, it becomes clear that even relatively simple measures can massively reduce energy consumption.
