13h00 Reception
13h30 The Importance of ESG for companies – Fien De Clercq, Fluvius
Working sustainably is no longer a nice-to-have, but an absolute must-have for many companies. Not only from a conviction, but also from a compliance-driven approach, it is required to take action and put business activities under the ESG microscope. New regulations already give us direction on how to start and can best be understood as an opportunity to review strategies, shape policies and redesign processes with an eye on a sustainable future.
By conducting a dual materiality analysis, the company maps impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs) together with stakeholders. This gives a company direction and objective tools to set priorities. It is then crucial to create a clear vision and set up a governance structure in which the principles of PDCA are embedded in the organisation. This ensures efficient management of vision-aligned policies, processes, actions, resources, metrics and feedback. In view of the implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive and fulfilling the duty of care, an efficient set-up will therefore greatly simplify reporting processes.
Learning takeaways:
- Prioritising sustainability policies
- Developing a clear vision
- How to efficiently set up a sustainable organisation
- How to prepare for sustainability reporting obligations?
- The principles of dual materiality analysis
- PDCA embedding in the organisation
- CSRD reporting
- Duty of care
14h00 The path towards industrial energy efficiency - Edward Betrains, ABB
The presentation underscores the vital role of energy efficiency and optimizing this efficiency in industrial electric motors. Recognizing the challenge in implementing efficiency measures, it offers practical guidelines for optimizing the most energy-consuming motors. By empowering the audience with actionable insights, we aim to facilitate the path towards industrial energy efficiency.
14h30 State of play of the EU Ecodesign legislation - Ronald Piers de Raverschoot, European Commission DG ENER
The Ecodesign legislative framework is intended to set minimum requirements, mostly but not only on energy performance when the product is in its use-phase, but more and more, in the reviews of the regulations on specific products, on the energy and material use over the entire product lifetime. Ronald, as the Policy Officer - Energy Efficiency at the European Commission, will update us on the important legislation and its potential impact on motor systems.

15h30 Sustainable energy optimization for rotating equipment through continuous electrical signal analysis - Nicolas Verbeek, InSens
Continuously monitoring the electrical signals of rotating equipment driven by electric motors can reveal significant energy optimization potential. By leveraging the collected data and combining the analysis with process information, the underlying gains can be maximized such as to obtain the highest possible ROI, while focusing on making these gains permanent and sustainable. We will also highlight that appropriate maintenance operations, based on actionable insights coming from the electrical signals, can also drastically improve the energy efficiency of industrial assets. The presentation will be oriented towards practical use-cases encountered in the industry and explain how these cases can be replicated elsewhere.
Challenges addressed:
- How to exploit the full potential of electrical signals to provide energy optimization insights
- How to combine the energy optimization insights with process and maintenance to obtain significant and sustainable gains
- How to assess the impact of maintenance operations on the energy consumption
Learning takeaways:
- Understanding how analysing electrical signals can reveal energy optimization solutions as well as predicting upcoming failures
- Learn how a pump system can be optimized such as to consume less energy as well as to reduce the cost of maintenance
- Learn how clogging in a ventilator can be easily detected and diagnosed, and understanding the impact in terms of energy gains that detecting such problems can have
- Learn why maintenance operations such as proper belt tensioning can have significant impact on the energy consumption
16h00 Optimizing energy efficiency through Smart Ultrasound Condition-Based Lubrication - Benoit Degraeve, SDT Ultrasound Solutions
In this presentation, M. Benoit Degraeve explores the importance of condition-based lubrication in maximizing the energy efficiency of motor systems. Next to the LUBExpert, SDT recently launched an innovative Smart Ultrasound Condition-Based Lubrication solution called LUBExpert ON-GUARD. M. Degraeve will highlight the crucial role of implementing intelligent, precise and efficient lubrication practices on electrical motors and other rotating equipment in order to reduce operating costs, minimize downtime and extend equipment life, while improving overall energy performance.
16h30 Conclusions - How do we make progress in Belgium? Projects to be considered?
