Here’s a few key ways digital transformation drives environmental and operational benefits. By now, you probably already know that digital transformation is a manufacturing strategy that integrates advanced digital technologies to enhance efficiency, reduce waste and optimize resource use. But one angle that’s not always talked about is that the right application of these digital technologies can significantly improve sustainability. Below is an examination into key areas where digital transformation drives environmental and operational benefits. It includes foundational steps for beginners and a few advanced techniques for more experienced engineers further down the digital transformation road. Data-driven decision-making for sustainable operations At the foundation of digital transformation is data collection and analytics, which enable real-time tracking of key sustainability metrics such as energy consumption, material waste and emissions. IoT (Internet of Things) sensors, SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems and AI-driven analytics help manufacturers make informed decisions that optimize production efficiency while minimizing waste. Beginners can start with IoT-enabled sensors to monitor machine performance, energy usage and material waste. From there, use basic dashboards to visualize trends and identify inefficiencies. The next step is to implement predictive maintenance using these insights to reduce unexpected breakdowns and extend machine […]
