#DigitalEnterpise: #Sustainability “... a holistic sustainability approach means for us ... we are looking at the people, we are looking at the processes and infrastructure, and we are looking at our products. So the idea is, well-being of our people, attractiveness of our working environment, as well as energy saving along process and time savings ... So, “Do more with less." When it comes to #PowerElectronics ... “What we found out was that if we want to become more competitive, if we want to get our unique selling points, Then we need to integrate the whole value chain. And this is why we reintegrated the power units to the Siemens value chain. We started with #simulation ... we build up digital twins ... we also built up #DigitalTwin's for our clean room ... to optimise processes in the clean room. What we get with that, is we can really reduce the size of our products by up to 50%. We can reduce the weight and the material by up to 40%. And with our digital twins, we are also able to optimise very fast our processes, that means the yield is increasing incredibly in short term ... and we can reduce material demand ... Do more with less." Bringing #HighTech #Manufacturing back to #Germany. "What we learned also in the factory, not only in the clean room, but also along our factory process ... is that we are able to automize, as well as digitalize, also let's say, Small and Medium-sized companies and environment. We have, of course, lines with high quantities, but we have also lines with niche product. And what we see is that a digital twin & AI, in the process makes also sense in this niche product ... and this could be interesting for #SME's." What’s next? “ ... what I'm really keen on now, is the influence of #AI to our processes and to the design of our products. I believe this will be an incredible lever.” While visiting the Siemens Electronics Factory Erlangen, I had the opportunity to have a good long chat with Prof. Dr. Rolf Hellinger, Head of Centre of Competence and Company Core Technology Power Electronics to understand how they are approaching a holistic approach to sustainability when it comes to enabling their Digital Enterprise Strategy. A link to our full 8 minute chat is in a comment below 👇 This video is the 6th and final episode in a "Siemens Digital Enterprise" series I recorded with some of the folks at #Siemens Electronics Factory #Erlangen / Grätewerk Erlangen (GWE), who are bringing the vision of a #Sustainable #DigitalEnterprise to life there.   Siemens Industry, Siemens Digital Industries Software #Industrial #Automation #Simulation #IT #OT #IIoT #ElectronicsFactoryErlangen #Gerätewerkerlangen  #GWE #TheImpact    [Sponsored] #PaidPartnership #SIEx #SiemensInfluencer

The AI Boom is Coming, But at What Cost to the Planet? 🤖 🚀 🌍 ❓ Recently, I came across a fascinating article from Caltech that highlights the importance of sustainable computing in the world of AI. According to the article, the computing industry is already responsible for a staggering 2.1-3.9% of global carbon emissions, and this number is set to skyrocket with the growth of AI and other energy-hungry applications. The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently announced a new $12 million multi-institutional research initiative over the next five years to delve deeply into this topic, with an ambitious goal to reduce the carbon impact of Information and communication technology (ICT) by 45% by 2030. Here are a few key takeaways from an informative interview with Adam Wierman who is a part of the NSF Expeditions team. 1. Adopting generative AI can increase carbon emissions by 10-20 times, potentially doubling the carbon footprint of IT in just 5 years if improvements aren't made. 2. There are 2 types of carbon usage for a data center: a. Embodied carbon - that goes into the manufacturing of the hardware and the building. b. Operational carbon - from running and doing the training. 3. Attention needs to paid to the local impact where these data centers are setup: - Impact on energy and water resources for people who live there. - Pollution associated with the backup generators. - Data centers create few local jobs beyond construction, as they require minimal human operation once built. 4. Adam is also on the advisory board of Verrus backed by Sidewalk Infrastructure Partners (SIP). This startup company is working on optimizing the way power works in the data center, of the way scheduling works, of the type of storage and backup power systems that you build in the center. 5. There is a need to move toward a data-center design which is responsive to the grid, shifting workloads to times when green energy is available and reducing loads during peak demand periods (Peak shaving). 6. To minimize embodied carbon, we need to measure and reduce the carbon footprint of manufacturing computing resources, leveraging the three R's: reduce, reuse, recycle. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/dC8qJPS6 #SustainableComputing #AI #Artificialintelligence #ClimateAction #GreenTech #DataCenterSustainability #TechForGood #InnovationForSustainability

For AI to be successful in the energy transition it has to both decarbonize the processes we have in place today and enable the scale-up of disruptive net-zero technologies. All while delivering a triple bottom line: lower costs, maximum productivity, and the lowest carbon footprint possible. https://hubs.ly/Q01_DnGW0 #energytransition #industrialai #triplebottomline

Reflecting back to the last week - the Future Digital Twin conference in amazing Amsterdam! It was an honor to facilitate one of the panels, discussing the significant role of Digital Twins and AI in decarbonization efforts, modeling biofuel plants, and effective hydrogen scaling. Thanks to Dr. Subrata Bhowmik, Mike Aylott, Rik Sneep, Mark Enzer, and Sadik N. the conversation was live and sometimes provoking, even assuming AI can substitute Digital Twin, physics-based calculations and change the overall software industry.   Reflecting on the panel discussions and presentations, here are several insights that I wanted to bring back to everyone: 1. Digital twins come in different forms: properly estimating investment opportunities and relying on relevant use cases is key to making the right decisions 2. Incorporating digital twins requires strong leadership involvement from the get-go 3. It is already many times proved, that harnessing the power of digital twins in every step of asset life can significantly cut operating expenses. Nevertheless, accurate and pragmatic approach to be taken 4. My favorite topic was related to the way to integrate and orchestrate various digital twins and AI across all value chains: seeing a bigger picture and enabling interoperability between digital twins is a promising route to address complex challenges and gain systemic control & insights. Still, it requires a lot of change on a side of Digital Twins vendors 5. Open data platforms are fundamental to driving digital transformation. Not all data and know-how should be protected. Sharing is key for the full realization of the business objectives 6. Renewable sector faces challenges in data availability — collaboration and standardisation can help to bridge this gap. #OSDU as a very good example was brought into discussion 7. An important conclusion was related to all of us: collaboration and knowledge sharing are key — both internally and externally, we need to break down silos. Such events, organized by brilliant Adam Soroka, can drive knowledge exchange in most open and comfortable ways! I thoroughly enjoyed the conversations with my industry colleagues. Thanks to the team for organizing and facilitating this fantastic day! #DigitalTwin #FDTAM #carboncapture #sustainability #netzero #GenAI #EPAM #Shell #EPAMSystems
