NFPA Anti-Trust Guidelines Because of federal anti-trust laws, certain topics are not proper subjects for discussion at any NFPA function. In many cases, our members are competitors and any action or agreement which may eliminate, restrict or govern competition among members or their colleagues could be a violation of anti-trust laws. Those violating the anti-trust laws are subject to severe criminal and civil penalties.   This means that we must not discuss any items falling within the realm of competitive practices, such as current or future prices, terms of service, discounts, production or productivity rates, allocation of markets, profit levels, credit terms, or refusal to deal with a particular supplier or customer. Please adhere strictly to these guidelines during all NFPA functions to protect yourself, your company and the NFPA from liability. 3

Roadmap Elements Customer Drivers Research Challenges The NFPA Technology Roadmap has three primary elements, each connected to the next in a chain. Customer Drivers Research Challenges Targets & Objectives Customer drivers are the business or technology objectives of fluid power customers. They help them serve the needs of their own customers, and are not necessarily connected to their use of fluid power. Research challenges are the broad areas of attention that must be addressed if fluid power is to meet or better meet the customer needs described by the drivers. Research targets and objectives quantify or describe successful strategies for pursuing the research challenges. As pre-competitive challenges, it is often difficult to be precise, but our targets and outcomes should provide direction for viable research projects. Increase energy efficiency Targets & Objectives? Increased productivity and performance Improve reliability Targets & Objectives? Increased availability/up-time Reduce size Targets & Objectives? Lower total and life cycle costs Build “smart” components and systems Targets & Objectives? Reduce environmental impact Targets & Objectives? Increased ease/predictability of maintenance Improve energy storage capabilities Targets & Objectives? Quieter machines Fast and accurate control Targets & Objectives? Machines that are compliant with safety regulations New materials Targets & Objectives? 5

Research Challenge Research Challenges are the broad areas of attention that must be addressed if fluid power is to meet or better meet the customer needs described by the Customer Drivers. This Working Group will focus on the fifth Research Challenge. Increasing the energy efficiency of fluid power components and systems Improving the reliability of fluid power components and systems (e.g., increasing up-time, reducing maintenance requirements, making fluid power safe and easy to use) Reducing the size of fluid power components and systems while maintaining or increasing their power output Building “smart” fluid power components and systems (i.e., ones that perform self-diagnostics and troubleshooting and that integrate easily with “plug and play” functionality) Reducing the environmental impact of fluid power components and systems (e.g., lowering noise, eliminating leaks) Improving and applying the energy storage capabilities of fluid power components and systems Fast and accurate control New materials Questions for Discussion Is the definition of this Research Challenge clear and distinct from the other seven? If not, what changes would we recommend to the wording of the Research Challenge? 6

Reduce Environmental Impact Connection to Customer Drivers Would improvements in this area of research challenge increase fluid power’s ability to meet the customer drivers? 1 = YES; 2 = MAYBE; 3 = NO CUSTOMER DRIVERS Reduce Environmental Impact Increased productivity and performance 1.750 Increased availability/up-time Lower total and life cycle costs 2.000 Increased ease/predictability of maintenance 3.000 Quieter machines 1.000 Machines that are compliant with safety regulations These weighted averages reflect the relative fluid power product sales volumes in each market segment (50% mobile hydraulics, 25% industrial hydraulics, and 25% pneumatics). Increased productivity and performance Increased availability/up-time Lower total and life cycle costs Reduce environmental impact Increased ease/predictability of maintenance Quieter machines Connections shown represent weighted averages < 2.000 Machines that are compliant with safety regulations Questions for Discussion Have we correctly identified the strongest connections between improvements in the areas of research challenge and fluid power’s ability to meet the needs represented by the customer drivers? If not, what changes would we recommend? 7

Research Challenge Advances Reducing the environmental impact of fluid power components and systems (e.g., lowering noise, eliminating leaks) Research Targets and Objectives Advances Since the Last Roadmap Update Operate systems and components with environmentally-neutral fluids Multi-physics seal model for rod seals developed at Georgia Tech. Develop new, affordable, biodegradable, non-hazardous fluids Eliminate leaks with disruptive innovations and approaches Reduce noise, vibration and harshness CCEFP sound dampening acoustical material demonstrated and ready for commercialization. Reduce pollutants in the air Develop environmentally-neutral pneumatic lubricants Develop recyclable systems or those made from recyclable materials Replacement coatings for hexavalent chrome identified as a key unmet need in the fluid power manufacturing roadmap. NEW - Develop quieter components NEW - Understand noise creation and propagation in hydraulic systems Noise transmission propagation through pump casing study underway at Purdue. Vitro-Acoustic Consortium at the University of Kentucky under the direction of Prof David Herrin is researching fluid power noise and abatement techniques. 8

Research Targets and Objectives Research targets and objectives quantify or describe successful strategies for pursuing the research challenges. As pre-competitive challenges, it is often difficult to be precise, but our targets and outcomes should provide direction for viable research projects. Reducing the environmental impact of fluid power components and systems (e.g., lowering noise, eliminating leaks) Operate systems and components with environmentally-neutral fluids Develop new, affordable, biodegradable, non-hazardous fluids Eliminate leaks with disruptive innovations and approaches Reduce noise, vibration and harshness Reduce pollutants in the air Develop environmentally-neutral pneumatic lubricants Develop recyclable systems or those made from recyclable materials NEW - Develop quieter components NEW - Understand noise creation and propagation in hydraulic systems Questions for Discussion Do the targets and objectives all represent fruitful areas of research investigation for this area? If not, what changes would we recommend? Are the targets and objectives stated as specifically as possible, while still maintaining a focus on pre-competitive inquiry? If not, what changes would we recommend? Are the targets and objectives listed in a priority order that reflects their likelihood of success? If not, what changes would we recommend? 9

Next Steps Working Group conference calls are being held throughout May and June 2017. At their conclusion, a draft of the full Roadmap document will be produced and circulated for additional feedback. A final draft will be presented at the August 2017 NFPA Industry and Economic Outlook Conference. 10
