Watch the video to understand more about the role mobile connectivity has to play in enabling the manufacturing sector to cut its emissions by 8.6 gigatonnes before 2030.
Manufacturing Sector
The manufacturing sector has a big challenge to reach net zero. It currently accounts for more than 16 gigatonnes of CO2 per year. That equates to roughly one third of total global emissions. To reach the 2050 net zero target the manufacturing sector needs to halve emissions in the next ten years: a reduction of 8.6 gigatonnes.
Mobile connectivity has the ability help the manufacturing sector decarbonise. Smart connected factories could reduce emissions by 1.4 gigatonnes of CO2 by 2030, or 16% of the cuts needed. This would save the same emissions as manufacturing approximately 140 million cars…
The benefits of smart factories come through integrated technology that improves productivity. These include:
- IoT sensors connecting machinery and production parts for analytics dynamically adjusting production on factory floor
- Connected robotics to replace manual labour and improve production efficiency
- Augmented reality, virtual reality and digital twins for equipment and plant maintenance
- Automated storage and retrieval systems for better inventory management
