July 27, 2008 – With changes in global market conditions, North American manufacturers are under pressure to reduce costs and waste. Reduction in energy use is of increasing importance in order to remain competitive. A new partnership between Danfoss Solutions and JMP Engineering ensures the availability and delivery of a valuable energy monitoring and targeting software solution called Montage. This software, used extensively across Europe, can help manufacturers reduce their energy costs between 5-15%.

By carefully monitoring and targeting the usage, significant savings can be realized.
