Case Study: NYCO Minerals improves Energy Efficiency by installing high efficiency motors

Are you interested in reducing your energy consumption, achieving a rapid payback, and more?
 
In the case of NYCO Minerals Inc., the answer to this question was yes. That’s why they chose Severe Duty Motors from Siemens. These motors employ innovative copper rotor motor technology that is up to 96.8% efficient.

Another success for process automation systems and the Food & Beverage VMM!

Siemens will implement the BRAUMAT PCS 7 platform at Spoetzl. Spoetzl came to Siemens requesting “we need a new brewing system without constraints” and Siemens answered with a new brewery-wide control system. The hardware and software will be integrated and configured by the Industrial Automation (Automation Systems DLS) team in Houston, TX. Delivery will occur in a couple of stages in 2012 to support brewery expansions that will start in the fermentation area helping to improve filtration, and eventually help Spoetzl expand their brewhouse.   
   
We won because of the 15 year relationship that our distributor, AWC has with the Shiner brewery. AWC support of the Texas Instrument system also helped gain them a “trusted advisor” status over the years. We were able to use a Frontal, Reputation Strategy leveraging the success of Siemens 
BRAUMAT in the industry and our ability to deploy it locally and fast for their expansion(s). 
   
Congratulations to all of those involved in the success of this campaign: Ed Montgomery, Javier Villegas, Kilian Hofmann, Bethann Williamson and our partners at AWC Inc. in Central Texas, Jessica Gordon, Fred Maynard, Alan Delzell, Brad Rosenhagen and Bob Wenyon who have supported the current TI505 system in the fermentation cellar for over a decade.
