Transitioning Industrial Clusters towards Net Zero: National Policy Enablement for Industrial Decarbonization

October 11, 2022

Transitioning Industrial Clusters towards Net Zero: National Policy Enablement for Industrial Decarbonization
The World Economic Forum, in collaboration with Accenture and EPRI, launched the “Transitioning Industrial Clusters towards Net Zero” global initiative at COP26 in Scotland, to accelerate the transition of industrial clusters globally towards net-zero emissions. This initiative promotes and enables industries to realize the benefits of co-location and take an integrated approach to transitioning towards net zero. Industrial clusters are where sector-specific decarbonization efforts and clean energy technology deployment efforts converge to enable a systemic approach towards industrial decarbonization

Where Manufacturers Are Using Robots In Their Operation

whitePaper | March 17, 2023

In today’s world, manufacturers still depend heavily on the working hands of people. The skills that are in demand are extremely repetitive and potentially dangerous. With the added effect of current labor struggles, keeping talent in this environment is difficult to maintain. According to The Workforce Institute at UKG, 4 in 5 U.S. manufacturers are having difficulty keeping up with demand due to staff shortages and supply constraints1 . In real time, if a skilled worker decides not to come to work, eight hours of production time is wasted. These losses can be catastrophic for small to mid-sized manufacturers trying to keep up with demand while also attempting to outcompete global competitors.

AUTONOMOUS SWEEPERS IN MODERN PRODUCTION FACILITIES

whitePaper | June 12, 2022

Automation has been a driving force behind greater productivity and efficiency in manufacturing companies since the 1980s. In the 2020s, a new generation of applications will enable even more production companies to benefit from the potential of automated processes. Advances in sensor technology and networking enable increasingly complex tasks to be performed reliably and safely by robots. Thanks to high-performance sensor technology, they can automatically react to many changing circumstances. Connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), the robots automatically provide information about progress and incidents. Via a remote connection, the IoT technology can be provided with new instructions, monitored, and remotely operated if necessary.

Transform Your Industry 4.0 Journey with a Modernized Manufacturing Data Supply Chain

whitePaper | June 7, 2022

Manufacturing organizations benefit from the automation brought by the Third Industrial Revolution, but struggle to extract value from and manage the massive volumes of data created by 20th Century process innovation. The Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) - now present - promises to offer tools to unlock the value of these massive quantities of data with the use of technologies such as Data Analytics, Machine Learning & Industrial IoT. However, manufacturing companies still struggle to convert this data value into business outcomes due to the proliferation of data silos, and the overwhelming prevalence of complex and unwieldy data supply chains which leaves data in an unmanageable state.
