We’re excited to announce the release of our first white paper, A Revolution in Hydraulic Systems, authored by CEO Marcus Pont. The publication deep dives into the stagnation in hydraulic technology, despite significant advancements across other industries over the past several decades.
This white paper is a manifesto for our mission to transform hydraulics, and it sheds light on the inefficiencies plaguing the hydraulic systems that power industries such as manufacturing, aviation, and construction. While sectors like electronics and automotive have seen transformative gains in performance and efficiency, hydraulics, crucial as they are, still rely on outdated technology. As highlighted in the white paper, traditional hydraulic systems waste up to 70% of their input energy, posing a critical challenge to both performance and sustainability
Consider some of the incredible advancements in technology that have transformed our world over the past seventy years; computers have shrunk from the size of a house to the size of a watch, we have moved from a predominantly analogue world to a digital one, from basic rule-based systems to sophisticated machine learning, and seen huge efficiency gains in everything from car engines to solar panels. Almost all of the technology around us has got smaller, faster, and more efficient. However, despite being central to almost all the most fundamental industries that build our world, hydraulics have not advanced at the same pace as other technology. Rather unbelievably, they still rely on the same clunky, inefficient products that powered our world in the 1950s.
In A Revolution in Hydraulic Systems, Marcus outlines a bold vision for harnessing modern technology—such as metal 3D printing, advanced motors, and modern sensors—to bring hydraulics into the future. By embracing these innovations, Domin is unlocking a new era of efficiency, reducing energy waste and establishing hydraulic systems that will serve the next century of industrial growth.
This white paper signals Domin’s commitment to innovation and also outlines what the future could look like for motion control, if all industries were to think differently about their approach.
The full white paper is now available on our website here or to download for offline reading here. We will be answering any of your questions you may have on the topics we discuss in the white paper, so if you would like to submit a question, click here and send us your thoughts.
