Reducing emissions is a top priority in manufacturing
Business leaders are increasingly being asked to account for the high levels of waste, pollution, and energy consumption attributed to manufacturing processes. Pressure is mounting for manufacturers to drive down their operational footprints, with a growing number of organizations committing to reduction timelines for carbon emissions and waste.
What is sustainable manufacturing?
Sustainable manufacturing is an eco-conscious and data-driven approach to manufacturing that aims to reduce as much waste, carbon emissions, and resource consumption from an organization’s operational processes as possible, without impacting production quality. This can include an organization’s direct Scope 1 emissions from on-site operations, indirect Scope 2 emissions from energy use, or Scope 3 emissions from wasted purchased materials and components.
How is sustainable production achieved?
Digital transformation and modular design are helping businesses gain new insights into manufacturing operations and the impact they have on the environment. Technologies like PLM, IoT, and augmented reality provide many of the digital capabilities that manufacturers need to achieve more sustainable production processes, including closed-loop collaboration with engineering, real-time energy monitoring, and visual, configuration-specific work instructions.
With complementary software solutions that strategically optimize everything from your product designs to your operational processes, PTC can help your business deliver more sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective manufacturing outcomes for a lower environmental impact.
