BUSINESS PROCESS IMPROVEMENT
74 personalised experiences and they want to associate themselves with companies that are sustainable .
Companies must gather , analyse and shape data to meet demands and report on their sustainability . Some examples of this include : monitoring and optimising transportation planning for shared mobility to reduce pollution ; predictive maintenance of machines to ensure efficiency ; the tracking and tracing of raw materials and using 3D printing processes and recycling equipment to reduce waste . All these processes have an impact on our carbon footprint and ecological handprint .
Cloud based platforms are especially good for this as they can speed up product development , improve collaboration across teams , and reduce the need for multiple prototypes . With visualisation software , companies no longer need to create physical copies of their products ; instead , they can design digital versions and test them in the virtual world , saving time and money in the process . Virtual prototypes can also be used to foster a more sustainable manufacturing process , reducing material waste .
