In the automotive industry, the need for sustainable operations is critical. Consider this:
- 10% of global CO2 emissions stem from automobile manufacturing, with approximately 10,000 kg of CO2 emitted per car during material production and assembly.
- Energy use in industrial sectors accounts for nearly 24.2% of total GHG emissions globally, underscoring the necessity for energy optimization.
As shown in the chart, 83% of the GHG emissions associated with ICE vehicle production can be attributed to assembly and basic component production, which includes body, chassis, and powertrain systems. To achieve a net zero emission target, manufacturers must prioritize optimizing their robotic systems to minimize waste in vehicle assembly and basic component production.
The newly released DELMIA Robotics feature developed in 2025xGA, i.e. the capability to compute robot workcell energy usage, is the answer.
How this feature Changes the Game
- Integrated Energy Tracking: Monitor energy usage and cycle times across multiple robots at the workcell level.
- Customizable Reports: Choose which robots to analyze, providing tailored insights for optimization.
- Visual Comparisons: Graphical displays make it easier to spot inefficiencies and make informed decisions.
Why It Matters
By enabling energy tracking at a macro level, manufacturers can:
- Lower energy consumption: Optimize robot configurations to reduce unnecessary energy expenditure.
- Benchmark performance: Compare energy usage across robots to identify the most efficient setups.
- Support sustainability goals: Reduce CO2 emissions by aligning operations with eco-friendly practices.
