The key to unlocking a net-zero future in industry is transforming the way industrial teams work through digitalization. Higher efficiency and more ambitious sustainability objectives are enabled today by technologies that provide real-time data to optimize and better automate industrial processes and energy management. But a successful corporate sustainability strategy needs to be designed and implemented end to end if it is to deliver concrete results across the business and its ecosystem. Effectively integrated, digitalization and sustainability drive deeper, broader change when they are aligned: according to Accenture, companies that integrate digital and sustainable transformations into their operations and value chains are two and a half times more likely to be among tomorrow’s best-performing businesses than those that don’t. Once more companies understand the opportunity, and put sustainability and digitalization strategies in place, how can leading-edge technology accelerate the decarbonization of the industrial world?
Most sustainability challenges are inherently complex. They demand new thinking, actionable insights, scalable solutions, and expert partnership to drive change at a systemic level. This is where digitalization becomes imperative.
When it comes to unlocking efficiency and sustainability gains, cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) enabled operating systems are important, because they empower companies to transform how they work to solve their biggest challenges – such as decarbonizing while maintaining business continuity and remaining profitable. Because it is all delivered through the cloud, we can take advantage of the breadth of AVEVA’s whole portfolio – the cloud is the glue and AI the intelligence that underpins more informed decisions.
With unified smart analytics that span complete data stacks, teams can leverage AI across all lifecycle stages of their activities. This gives decision-makers the capacity that they would not otherwise have – knowledge, data-led intelligence, and the ability to spot opportunities to drive down carbon use and boost sustainability.
