Lumberg Automation™ Research & Development

Reducing the ecological impact of our products

In the early stages of product development, we study the ecological aspects such as energy and resource consumption as well as the product‘s future disposal. We set out to constantly reduce the energy consumption of our products.

To achieve this we use the latest innovations such as new material technology, thus creating more efficient devices, saving on energy consumption, whilst at the same time offering enhanced features. Where possible we choose for low-energy design, and the development of re-usable modules.


Lumberg Automation™ products are created with a long term life expectancy. All our products are covered by WEEE and fully conform to the required and current standards approvals.

Designed to meet customer needs

During the product development phase, we always consider the ecological impact of our products. All Lumberg Automation™ products are designed to customer specification, only after we have identified the exact costumer requirements. This is important as it avoids unnecessary over-engineering and over-production.

We minimize our environmental impact further by using professional development tools and integrated R&D processes.

Reducing waste and CO2 emissions

We only use materials that meet – or exceed – legal regulations and the specific needs of our customers. This includes their performance according to European guidelines REACH and RoHS. All packaging materials are fully recyclable.

We avoid costly and unnecessary transport, production and redesign costs during product development. At the same time we reduce our carbon footprint. This reduction in CO2 emissions is achieved through the effective use of state-of-the-art optimization tools.

Using our own HighTech test and measuring facilities, we save on transportation – and our fully automated measuring equipment reduces testing time, and saves energy.
