Panasonic, one of the largest industrial emitters of greenhouse gases (5x the size of Apple) is under pressure to cut emissions. They recently achieved “virtually net zero” carbon dioxide at a Wuxi, China battery plant.
Reaching the goal was tough and required systemic innovation. They automated worker-heavy production lines, switched to robots, installed solar panels, replaced lights with LEDs, traded tips with a nearby Konica Minolta factory, and introduced a more energy efficient way to run the factory’s dust collectors, air compressors and exhaust fans. Even that wasn’t enough so they bought carbon credits and renewable energy to achieve “net zero”. They now have to repeat the Wuxi feat 37-times over to reach company goals.
Reaching your BHAG (“Big Hairy Audacious Goal”) requires ingenuity, dedication, hard work and more. MOSIMTEC simulation modeling can help. Whatever your BHAG is – cutting emissions, reducing cost, improving productivity, increasing safety, enhancing processes or delighting your customers – you can test options virtually using digital twin services to see what works best and what doesn’t before implementing in real life. MOSIMTEC industrial engineers and data scientists can help you futureproof your business.
