Today’s organizations are faced with disruptions impacting their operations and core business performance. Exponential advancement in technologies, investor and client demand for sustainable operations, and a workforce in flux – all of these contribute to the ongoing need for companies to be agile, adapt and transform. In fact, assets are responsible for 76% of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions or 1.6 billion pounds per year. Meeting sustainability goals will require a radical shift in the way physical assets are managed and operated to drive improvements in asset lifecycles, energy and water efficiency, waste management, and reduce the environmental impact. 

As businesses across all industries are under pressure to deliver value and gain greater control of their operations, they also need to optimize production, reduce expenditures, all while deploying a more sustainable strategy. How can we understand the implications of our current state in order to operationalize these goals and build the next generation of industrial operations?  

• How do you manage assets, infrastructure, and resources to optimize and prioritize activities that improve the bottom-line and contribute to your company’s sustainability goals?  
• How are you monitoring operations? Are you getting a 360-degree view, 24/7? 
• How are you leveraging, IOT, AI automation and the Cloud to support your asset management and reliability requirements? 
• How are you measuring and managing your environmental footprint today? What efforts do you have underway to reduce emissions and waste?
