Market-Driven Innovation
From systems design to component integration and aftermarket service, we strive to increase effciency and productivity, minimize weight and reduce emissions for our customers and end users of our products.
The advancement of clean technologies is one of several secular trends driving growth across our key market verticals. The highly complementary nature of our technology portfolio uniquely positions Parker as a strategic partner to our customers during the global shift to a more sustainable future.
Sustainable Product Development
Parker approaches sustainable product development through our Simple by Design™ technology simplification initiative, which reduces complexity and increases efficiency across our portfolio. Simple by Design uses digital tools to compare designs, parts and manufacturing methods, ensuring optimal manufacturing efficiency while still in the design phase, where nearly 70% of key cost decisions are made. The result is a more cost-effective product that delivers greater performance and value for customers, efficiently and sustainably. Simple by Design is consistent with the Parker Lean System, which incorporates the Kaizen concept of rapid improvement to help eliminate waste and improve productivity.
Design For Environment
Parker’s Design for Environment philosophy is essential to advancing our portfolio of clean technologies. By reducing the environmental impacts of our own products, we can help customers further their sustainability efforts and engineer breakthroughs in ways that lead to a better tomorrow.
The Design for Environment philosophy requires us to consider potential impacts at each stage of a product’s life cycle:
- Extraction of raw materials
- Processing of materials
- Manufacturing and assembly of products
- Distribution of products
- Use and application of products
- Remanufacturing, recycling or disposal at end of life
