KFactory® goes beyond mere production monitoring and OEE calculation
In the current legislative context, marked by new pressures and requirements, factories face significant challenges regarding sustainability and corporate social responsibility. The adoption of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) by the European Parliament in November 2022 and the establishment of ESG Reporting Standards by the European Commission in July 2023 signify a new direction in environmental responsibility for companies.
A critical element in this new era is the management of the carbon footprint. A company’s carbon footprint encompasses all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for which it is responsible, expressed in CO2 equivalent. These emissions, largely stemming from human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels, are pivotal contributors to global CO2 emissions and, consequently, to rising global temperatures. For detailed statistics and trends on greenhouse gas emissions in the UK, one can refer to the UK’s Greenhouse Gas Intensity report.
In response to these challenges, KFactory® presents itself as an innovative and efficient solution for measuring and reducing the industrial carbon footprint of factories. With its new functionalities, KFactory® goes beyond mere production monitoring and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) calculation.
What can companies do now
- Monitor Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Real Time to manage fossil fuel emissions, particularly from natural gas and coal. The European Environment Agency’s Greenhouse Gases Viewer provides an interactive platform to view and analyze such emissions across Europe.
- Identify emission sources and reduction opportunities by targeting key areas like methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions.
- Implementing effective sustainability measures includes optimizing energy use and transitioning to cleaner energy sources, reducing emissions.
- Ensure ESG and CSRD compliance: Staying updated on evolving regulations is crucial for maintaining responsibility and market leadership.
