Integrated motor and drive

Evotec CORE™ Drive integrates motor and inverter into one compact unit mounted directly on the handling system.

By eliminating separate frequency converters, cabinets and high-power cable runs, CORE™ Drive reduces installation scope, integration effort and commissioning time.

Talk to an improver

More uptime. Less troubleshooting.

CORE™ Drive reduces the number of electrical interfaces, cabinets and high-power cable runs.

Fewer components mean fewer potential failure points and a cleaner electrical environment.

Reduced risk of unexpected downtime
Simpler fault isolation
Lower dependency on specialist support
A more predictable maintenance profile

Faster mobilisation

Traditional drive setups require separate cabinets, interfaces and extensive cabling between inverter and winch. CORE™ Drive removes these elements by integrating power electronics directly into the motor.

Fewer interfaces.
Shorter installation sequence.
From delivery to operation – faster.

Commissioning is simplified because motor and inverter are factory-matched and pre-configured. What is installed is what is commissioned.

Reduced installation risk

Every additional interface introduces potential failure points.

Separate frequency converters, external cabinets and long high-power cable runs increase integration complexity.

CORE™ Drive reduces the number of components, terminations and connection points. The installation process becomes more standardised and predictable – with fewer opportunities for error, rework or delay.

Less complexity means fewer surprises.

Lower total installation cost

Installation cost is driven by cabling scope, labour hours and integration effort.

Early-stage comparison on a representative fishing vessel with approximately 40 electric winch motors indicates:

Up to 60% reduction in cable length
Up to 84% reduction in cable weight
Significant reduction in high-power cable runs
Lower yard labour and integration effort

Less cable to pull. Less weight to manage. Fewer hours onboard.

Cost is reduced not by optimisation, but by removal of scope.

Illustrative example based on a typical fishing vessel with approximately 40 electric winch motors and associated motor control units (MCUs). Comparison reflects conventional frequency-converter-based drives versus Evotec’s integrated motor and drive solution - CORE Drive. Results may vary by vessel configuration.

Less high-power cable. Less interference.

Traditional solution:

Long high-power cable runs can introduce electrical noise and distortion
More terminations
More integration points

Evotec CORE^™Drive:

Short high-power cable runs: stable and predictable power signal
More predictable installation
Less rework
Reduced project risk

Evotec CORE^™Drive: Fewer interfaces. Less surprises.

One component. Less complexity.

What used to be a multi-component drive system becomes one integrated unit.

Instead of managing separate motors, frequency converters, cabinets and interfaces, shipyards and system integrators handle a single matched drive unit mounted directly on the mechanical system.

Complexity moves from the project to the product. The result is a cleaner electrical environment, reduced routing complexity and a more controlled installation process.
