Where will next-generation automation take you?
The Industries of the Future call for unprecedented flexibility — and open, software-centric industrial automation is the answer. Smarter, more sustainable manufacturing starts here.
Incorporating sustainability in industries has become a prerequisite nowadays. One of the most important components of sustainability in industries is minimizing the environmental impact of various industrial activities. Industrial firms are constantly looking for avenues to reduce their global carbon footprint as well as opportunities to practice environmentally restorative actions.
Universal automation starts here
A new era of industrial innovation is here. The Industries of the Future are all about people creating the products that shape our lives. Think universal automation — the world of plug-and-produce automation software components proven to solve specific challenges — and think what we can create together.
Own your environmental impact
Today's consumers want to feel good about the products they rely on. We can help you implement greener practices and lower your carbon footprint, starting now.
Software-centric automation drives the Industries of the Future
Humans power industries of all kinds, bringing irreplaceable skills like judgement, reasoning and imagination to the table. With intuitive, agnostic, and end-to-end software on their side, there’s no limit to what industrial workers can achieve.
Smart & Sustainable Factories
Nowadays, there is a stronger focus on including sustainable practices in the manufacturing industries because of the numerous benefits it entails. Sustainability in manufacturing includes not just the production stage but also considers how products are sold, purchased, and run. As a result, it is critical to consider sustainability at all stages of the product's life cycle. In simple words, sustainable factories or green manufacturing can be described as a method of manufacturing that minimizes waste and has a lower environmental impact.
Smart and sustainable factories are a great way of reaching sustainable operations in factories. Consumers are willing to spend more to associate with a brand that practices sustainability in its manufacturing process. There are some simple ways in which companies can include eco-friendly practices and become truly sustainable.
- Reducing Dependence on Fossil Fuels: Fossil fuels are the primary reason behind the increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, eliminating factories' dependence on these non-renewable sources is critical to achieving sustainability.
- Recycling: An efficient recycling solution for manufacturers can assist firms in reducing waste and creating a positive effect on the environment. This is one of the most critical green manufacturing procedures.
- Waste Reduction: Keeping an eye on waste production is another critical way of incorporating eco-friendly business practices. Sustainable factories might also discover further waste minimization potential by re-evaluating their procedures and systems able to discover further waste minimization potential by re-evaluating their procedures and systems overall.
