Industrialization at such a huge scale triggered the 4th Industrial Revolution. The process invariably consumes a huge amount of energy. The dire need of the situation is to look for a manufacturing process that is more customer-centric and sustainable. Increasing customer economic value, personalization expectations, and the need for smart, connected products are forcing companies to re-think their next generation of industrial products and the traditional methods of manufacturing. The focus is to produce dynamic and personalized products for every consumer at faster rates with lower production costs. Studies reveal that since the energy consumption from 2000-2010 has increased by 28% and the worldwide industrial energy consumption is expected to increase by approximately 50% from 191 quadrillions Btu in 2008 to 288 quadrillion Btu in 2035, manufacturers need to develop an energy-management culture. For optimum usage of electricity what can be better than automation services where the consumption of electricity is controlled automatically? The word ‘Automation’ is derived from ancient Greek words where ‘Auto’ means Self and ‘Matos’ means Moving. Therefore a mechanism that moves by itself or is self-dictated is called an automated system. A complete automation solution provided to the industry is called industrial automation solutions. Automation services transform a factory into the next-generation automation industry where equipment is controlled automatically. Automation increases the production rate by producing greater output for a given labor input and guarantees optimum use of electricity. Industry automation services provided by IoT services, provide a detailed report of consumption of energy per hour, day, week, month or any custom time frame for a better understanding of power consumption. This is particularly useful for large industrial units where production occurs at a mass scale and consumption cost needs to be reduced. It helps in overall cost cutting and reduction of energy consumption. It helps you cut down on your power bills, thereby reducing your production cost. The growing focus on the implementation of energy-efficient solutions in both process and discrete industries will also promote sustainable manufacturing. It has contributed a lot to the conservation and management of electricity.
