As regards its energy efficiency, the company switched from IE 1 to IE 2 and is now working on IE 3 as well. The machine is power efficient, consuming 20% lesser power than competing machines. Shifting to IE 3 will further help reduce the power consumption. The machine promises an uptime of 85-90%, and low operating cost. The machine is UD enabled as the company has been proving IoT features since the last 3 years., and is also coming up with an iOT App where customers can remotely find real time data on productivity, lost times, up times, and other plant related activities.
