NORD DRIVESYSTEMS is introducing more innovative products at this year’s PACK EXPO Connects virtual event November 9-13. These products mark the beginning of a new era of energy efficiency and cost savings for the packaging industry, along with the modular configuration flexibility and reliability that NORD is known for. Each product demonstration will be followed by a live technical Q&A session with engineers and other technical experts in their respective disciplines.

<h2>Condition Monitoring for Predictive Maintenance</h2>

Monday, November 9<br>12:15 p.m. – 12:30 p.m. Central Time

Presenter: John Mason, Business Development Manager

For condition monitoring, drive and status data are recorded periodically or continuously to optimize the operational safety and efficiency of machines and plants. Condition monitoring provides valuable information for predictive maintenance with the goal to service equipment proactively, avoiding costly downtime, reducing service and material costs, increasing overall system availability, and more.

<h2>LogiDrive Complete Drive Solution with IE5+ Motor Technology</h2>

Tuesday, November 10<br>2:45 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Central Time

Presenter: James Chandler, Key Markets Manager

The NORD LogiDrive™ solution is a complete decentralized drive package that greatly reduces engineering and commissioning efforts and maintains efficiency even at partial load and low speeds. With this modular system, the number of variants can be minimized, making it easier to maintain and saving Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) costs for the operator. Now, LogiDrive systems are available with NORD’s new IE5+ Ultra-Premium High Efficiency motors for even greater operational efficiency and cost savings.

<h2>NORD CON APP with ACCESS BT</h2>

Thursday, November 12<br>2:00 p.m. – 2:15 p.m. Central Time
