Decarbonizing Manufacturing and Production: The Impact of AI on Data Center Efficiency

Substantial contributions to global emissions coming from manufacturing are likely to decrease thanks to improvements in operational efficiency. Digitalization of the production sector will lead a transformation towards optimized processes and have the potential to change the existing paradigm driving IT/OT convergence. In the foreseeable future, Artificial Intelligence that relies on undisturbed access to data centers will drive decarbonization of manufacturing. Smart algorithms employed in automation and predictive tools will decrease asset down time and generate vast amounts of data, which need to be securely transferred, processed, and stored. Data centers are an inevitable element in reducing carbon footprint in manufacturing.
