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

Smart Manufacturing as a concept has been around for over 15 years and is firmly on an upward trajectory as organizations are starting to realize their full transformational potential. For most manufacturers, it’s only recently that the Smart Factory is no longer considered a technology experiment. It’s now deemed a critical initiative with a clear business case: a Gartner survey of manufacturers found 88% of participants expect smart manufacturing to advance their competitiveness1 .

Smart factories have various areas of strengths and weaknesses, just as people do. Strengths bring the opportunity for positive differentiation, whilst weaknesses offer challenges to address in order to deliver consistently on expectation. Many people like to measure their IQ to see how they compare in terms of being “Smart”— so why should we not do the same for the data-driven Smart assembly factory? This helps reveal both strengths and weaknesses, builds the roadmap for improvement and development, increases visibility of unique values, and eliminates risk derived from bottlenecks and inefficiencies. It is time to put our Smart, data-driven manufacturing operation to the test, ensuring preparedness as the industry transforms toward the elusive Industry 4.0.
