Quickly find true costs, real opportunities in energy efficiency with DASH

The premise is simple. Slow down a motor, use less energy. It's what a drive does. But simple payback doesn't always tell the entire story. Sometimes businesses have to make choices. That's where DASH Software comes in. DrivesMag Dash is the original energy ROI calculator to allow designers to combine both pumps and fans in a building or process system, create scenarios to isolate the best motor candidates for drives, and create specification-ready reports and estimates.

Whereas most drives manufacturers provide their customers with a spreadsheet tool to estimate cost and return on investment from one drive, DASH allows engineers and customers to add an unlimited number of machines to a virtual system, and see which machines will pay back the quickest, which ones will pay back within predetermined target break even periods, and to test variable and secondary cost impacts, like installation costs and energy cost fluctuations.
 

Dash is brand agnostic. It can be used to estimate any motor, and machine, any drive, and any system variable. It is also compatible with any PC, and creates simple, compatible XML reports, ready for use in any specifying software or document. DASH files can be shared between application and design engineers and contractors to assist in the new constuction value engineering, or to find system right sizing opportunities in retrofit applications.
