How can manufacturing companies reduce energy consumption through required digital factory efficiencies?
What is needed to simultaneously reduce gas emissions and enhance competitiveness?

Today, managers of industrial facilities and plants are at a critical juncture.
How can they achieve their energy efficiency goals 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 paper presents an overview of how to form a digital factory that leverages data and sensor insights to enable informed decision making in order to meet the challenges of improving energy efficiency and reducing gas emissions in a world of ever-increasing energy consumption.
