The Future is Now – Sustainable Automation as a Catalyst for Climate Action

We are at a crucial point where industrial automation intersects with the need for environmental sustainability. The manufacturing sector plays a key role in global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for 24% of the total. While energy-efficient measures have been implemented, the current climate crisis demands accelerated efforts. It is time to act now.
"The Future is Now – Sustainable Automation as a Catalyst for Climate Action" highlights industrial automation's crucial role in promoting environmental stewardship, economic growth, and social responsibility.
This session will explore:
▪ How automation technologies improve operational efficiency and optimize energy usage while enabling eco-friendly manufacturing practices.
▪ How to overcome technological limitations and financial constraints and harness opportunities such as emerging technologies, policy support, and government initiatives.
▪ A look toward the future, predicting trends in sustainable technologies, preparing for Industry 5.0.
