Target Integration publishes industry report ‘The Sustainable Factory: Where Cost Savings and Carbon Reduction Are the Same Project’
According to a new report by Target Integration, the Dublin headquartered digital transformation specialists, manufacturing businesses do not need two separate strategies to cut costs and reduce their carbon footprint. The report finds that digital transformation, connecting production, energy and finance data into one system, is the enabler that delivers both outcomes at once. Businesses that have invested in digital solutions like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) report documented cost reductions of up to 30%, together with a 25% fall in equipment downtime, and up to 40% of industrial energy currently wasted and recoverable as both a cost saving and an emissions reduction.
Rohit Thakral, CEO of Target Integration, said:
“One of the biggest misconceptions is that sustainability is another cost manufacturers have to absorb. In many cases, the opposite is true. The same digital tools that expose inefficient equipment, poor scheduling and wasted energy also show where carbon can be reduced. If you can see the waste, you can act on it. The return shows up in both lower costs and lower emissions. For manufacturers, the opportunity is to stop viewing efficiency and sustainability as two separate projects and start looking at the operational data that drives both.”
