In addition to the three traditional production optimization pillars of time, quality, and cost, sustainability has emerged as the fourth major pillar that companies must now consider. Companies must embrace a digital-first approach that seamlessly integrates sustainability into all aspects of their business.
Sustainable production systems aim to minimize the environmental impact, resource consumption, and waste generation throughout the entire product lifecycle. Planning and optimizing production systems in that way include analyzing and improving the manufacturing processes to reduce energy use, emissions, water consumption, and waste. Using advanced data analysis and modeling tools to predict, monitor, and optimize production system performance from a sustainability perspective. For example, with digitally optimized production processes, data analysis and virtual commissioning, companies can save up to 40% energy and the corresponding amount of CO2 emissions.
