The shift towards smart manufacturing has accelerated the demand for intelligent electric actuators that offer higher efficiency

The shift towards smart manufacturing has accelerated the demand for intelligent electric actuators that offer higher efficiency, reliability, and remote control capabilities. A prominent actuator manufacturer has launched a new series of AI-powered electric actuators that integrate self-diagnostic technology and energy-saving algorithms, setting a new standard for industrial automation.​

The actuator features a built-in AI chip that analyzes operational data in real time, detecting potential faults (such as motor overload, gear wear) and sending early warnings to operators. This predictive maintenance function reduces unplanned downtime by 45% compared to traditional actuators. In a water treatment plant in the Netherlands, the actuators optimized the operation of control valves, reducing energy consumption by 30% while improving water treatment efficiency.​

With a torque range of 10 N·m to 1000 N·m and a positioning accuracy of ±0.5°, the product is suitable for various industrial applications, including power generation, oil & gas, and chemical processing. It supports multiple communication protocols (Modbus, Profinet, Ethernet/IP) for seamless integration into IoT-based control systems. The global electric actuator market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% from 2026 to 2030, driven by the increasing adoption of industrial IoT and the need for energy-efficient solutions.
