Leadership in Drive Technology: It’s More Than Specs

Why ownership, interdisciplinary design, and field-tested results matter. 

Drive systems aren’t background components—they’re the heartbeat of machine-based processes. When they fail, everything stops. When they perform, efficiency and reliability follow.

In this article, Gerhard Froebus explains why real leadership in drive technology goes beyond supplying a motor. It starts with owning the outcome, designing for real-world conditions, and building trust through data.

What the article covers:

• Why drive systems are the core of resource allocation and control
• How interdisciplinary engineering (mechanical, electrical, controls, software) improves real-world performance
• What it means to own the operational result, not just the component
• How teams deliver predictability through field testing, data, and close customer collaboration

You’ll also see how NGI DriveTech validates performance—torque-speed curves, efficiency metrics, thermal tests, and ROI tools - to ensure systems hold up under real operating conditions.

“Engineering leadership means understanding the system deeply enough to question assumptions—and having the tools to improve it, not just manage it.”
