Efficiency Gains Can Be Achieved by Questioning the Status Quo
Efficiency is becoming a critical priority across industries relying on fluid power and power transmission technologies. From reducing energy consumption to optimizing entire systems, manufacturers are rethinking how efficiency impacts performance, cost, and long‑term ownership.
In partnership with Power & Motion, Regal Rexnord is proud to highlight a two‑part interview series featuring Jesse Dupuis, Director of Powertrain Product Management, Motion Control Solutions. In these discussions, Jesse explores how efficiency extends far beyond individual components.
Efficiency can be evaluated at the system level, where multiple components interact and collectively influence performance, maintenance requirements, and operating costs. Customers are increasingly seeking ways to simplify power transmission systems, reduce unnecessary complexity, and improve overall reliability. At the same time, efficiency gains are also being realized through streamlined logistics and supply chain strategies, including portfolio consolidation and reduced sourcing complexity.
Throughout the series, Jesse shares how Regal Rexnord works alongside customers to challenge traditional assumptions and identify opportunities to improve total cost of ownership. By asking the right questions and re-evaluating long-standing design approaches, meaningful efficiency and operational improvements can often be unlocked.
In Part 1, How Efficient Components and Systems Can Reduce Operational Costs,
Jesse discusses the many forms efficiency can take and how questioning the status quo can lead to longer component life, improved system performance, and reduced operational costs.
In Part 2, Efficiency Gains Can Be Achieved by Questioning the
Status Quo,
He provides a real‑world application example, illustrating how Regal Rexnord partnered with a customer to design a more efficient, integrated system solution.
Explore both parts of this Power & Motion interview series to learn how rethinking efficiency can help reduce risk, improve performance, and drive sustainable results.
“What I would tell companies is, question the status quo, question whether or not this performance is optimized, or if it could be better, because more often than not, it absolutely can be better,” said Dupuis.
