Right-Sizing Integrated Systems
Optimizing System Performance, Efficiency, & Cost
The right system delivers the performance your application requires without unnecessary complexity, cost, weight or capacity.
Nott Company helps OEMs evaluate application requirements and right-size integrated systems that bring together the right components, engineering and manufacturing support for the job.
What Does Right-Sizing Mean?
The right integrated system starts with understanding what the application actually needs to do.
Nott evaluates performance requirements, operating conditions, duty cycles, space constraints and production needs to determine the right balance of performance, efficiency, reliability and cost.
1. MACHINE REQUIREMENTS
What does the system need to do?
- Operating loads
- Functional requirements
- Environmental conditions
- Performance targets
- Space and packaging constraints
2. OPERATING DEMANDS
How will the system be used?
- Continuous and peak loads
- Intermittent functions
- Duty cycles
- Operating hours
- Changing application demands
3. SYSTEM DESIGN
What components and capacity are required?
- Component sizing and selection
- Hydraulic and fluid conveyance requirements
- Controls and electrical integration
- Flow, pressure and power requirements
- Cooling and filtration, where applicable
4. PRODUCTION-READY INTEGRATION
How will the system fit, function, and be manufactured?
- Component integration
- Optimized packaging
- Serviceability
- Manufacturing requirements
- Reliable system performance
Find the Right Balance
Oversized systems can add unnecessary cost, weight, energy consumption and complexity. Undersized systems can limit performance, increase component stress and fall short of application requirements.
Nott helps OEMs find the right balance by matching system capacity and configuration to actual operating demands.
UNDERBUILT
- Limited performance
- Insufficient capacity
- Increased component stress
- Reduced functional capability
- Potentially shorter component life
RIGHT-SIZED
- Application-specific design
- Appropriate system capacity
- Efficient operation
- Integrated components
- Practical packaging and serviceability
OVERBUILT
- Application-specific design
- Appropriate system capacity
- Efficient operation
- Integrated components
- Practical packaging and serviceability
Right-sizing isn't about choosing the smallest components. It's about designing an integrated system with the capabilities the application actually requires.
Integration Beyond Individual Components
System performance depends on more than the specifications of individual components. Each element needs to work together within the available space, operating conditions and requirements of the finished machine or equipment.
Nott brings engineering and integration expertise together to help OEMs develop complete systems that balance performance, packaging, serviceability and manufacturability.
What We Consider:
- Component selection and placement
- Hydraulic, electrical and controls integration
- Fluid conveyance and routing
- Space and installation constraints
- Operating conditions and cooling needs
- Service access and maintenance
- Production and assembly requirements
