iPhone app for motors
The BE$T application for iPhones can easily and accurately calculate an existing motor’s annual electricity usage based on its nominal efficiency and compare it to the annual electricity usage of Premium Efficient motors. It then recommends by catalog number, the appropriate motor for the application, and notes the payback period, in months, for replacing the existing motor.

The software is also capable of calculating and comparing yearly electrical savings when a variable speed drive is used vs. a constant speed motor.

2012 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering’s annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
