Initiatives needed to promote energy efficiency in factories

How can manufacturing companies reduce energy consumption?
What it takes to simultaneously achieve the required digital factory efficiency, reduce gas emissions, and increase competitiveness

Today, managers of industrial facilities and plants are at a critical juncture.
How can they meet their goals for energy efficiency in facilities with ever-increasing energy consumption and stringent technical requirements?
To meet this challenge, plant managers need to consider what investments are needed to simultaneously improve energy efficiency, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and enhance competitiveness.

The Paris Agreement sets numerical targets for how much greenhouse gas emissions can be reduced.
To achieve net zero (essentially zero greenhouse gas emissions) by 2050, energy equipment used to heat, cool, and feed power to factories must be able to provide more energy than it does today.

However, existing factories lack systems that can measure conditions and values in real time, hampering improvements. To rigorously identify opportunities for efficiency improvements, information at the asset (facility) level and about the production flow must be clearly defined.
This presentation will show how to form a digital factory that leverages data and sensor insights to make informed decisions to meet the challenges of improving energy efficiency and reducing gas emissions in a world of increasing energy consumption.
