Abstract
Automated in-plant Material Flow Systems (MFS) are increasing in most industries. Their energy efficiency becomes high important. After the introduction, we will shortly illustrate the main points of the effMFS research project founded by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency. In
section 3 we focus on detailed efficiency studies of different conveyor types. Results of the first research-year are proved by measurement methods and rated potentials for improvements. To improve overall MFS energy efficiency, it is necessary to have indicator standards meeting real
life conditions. A discussion of a comprehensive approach of MFS energy efficiency indicator (EEI) model is focused in section 4, including a specific EEI example for conveyors. Finally, the conclusion sums up and gives a lookout to further research.
