Lexington Smart Factory designated by the World Economic Forum
Smart manufacturing solutions to accelerate your digital journey
We know the importance of smart solutions for manufacturing because we use them ourselves. With EcoStruxure, we’re implementing the Internet of Things (IIoT) throughout our global supply chain. Across our Smart Factories and Smart Distribution Centres, we’ve reduced energy costs by between 10% and 30% and maintenance costs between 30% and 50%.
See how our solutions can do the same for you.
Five reasons to invest in smart operations
1. Agile managementDriving faster and better decisions to help improve customer satisfaction and service speeds. 2. Asset performancePredictive analytics for reduced downtime and more efficient operations. 3. Empowered operatorsAccess to real-time assets, data, and innovative technology for increased safety and efficiency in maintenance processes, and increased workforce engagement. 4. Energy and reliabilityReduced energy consumption, costs, and carbon footprint, and improved power monitoring through real-time insights and connected metres. 5. Cybersecure operations on multiple levelsProduct and system security, with added value in secure solution design, training, and managed security services.
