Factory Efficiency – How to Become Lean, Green and Save Money
Almost every business is facing pressure to become more sustainable. This push might be coming from your customers, your employees, your investors, or from your own vision of what you’d like to do.
You may fear that becoming more sustainable will drive up your organization’s costs. However, the opposite is often true: Sustainability and factory efficiency go hand in hand, leading to cost savings and customer satisfaction.
We have put together a panel including Autodesk, Trane Technologies, ProModel and Oak Ridge National Laboratory to share ways you can use digital simulation tools today to drive efficiency and sustainability from the process level to the factory floor, as well as discuss research on new processes that may change the industry tomorrow.
Some of the key topics we will cover include:
- How sustainability and factory efficiency trends may impact you
- How to leverage simulation to select better performing and less costly materials
- Factory level simulation tools for greenfield and brownfield plants that save material and energy
- Research on energy saving solutions for additive and subtractive manufacturing
See how technology can help you simultaneously reduce your energy use, material waste and labor, as well as enable a switch to recycled materials. Plus bring your own questions about sustainability for our vibrant Q/A.
