Abstract
The research activities of today not only strive to cope with the legislative pressure given by the Directive of the European Parliament on Energy Using Products but also aim for economic advantages for the machine tool user by investigating and applying suitable procedures and methods that help to model, forecast, and reduce the overall energy and resource consumption. The common goal is to reduce the amount of resources consumed and increase machine tool efficiency with the help of selective methods and a minimum investment. An approach to identify the above mentioned advantages is given on the presented research work and paper. This paper introduces a methodology for detecting and defining reasonable investments for retrofit solutions and optimization strategies depending on the actual circumstances, an approach for the effective acquisition of the required data, and the strategy used to detect optimization potentials based on these findings.
