21-05-2024 13:50 21-05-2024 14:20 Europe/Madrid The Future is Now – Sustainable Automation as a Catalyst for Climate Action We are at a crucial point where industrial automation intersects with the need for environmental sustainability. The manufacturing sector plays a key role in global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, accounting for 24% of the total. While energy-efficient measures have been implemented, the current climate crisis demands accelerated efforts. It is time to act now. "The Future is Now – Sustainable Automation as a Catalyst for Climate Action" highlights industrial automation's crucial role in promoting environmental stewardship, economic growth, and social responsibility. This session will explore: ▪ How automation technologies improve operational efficiency and optimize energy usage while enabling eco-friendly manufacturing practices. ▪ How to overcome technological limitations and financial constraints and harness opportunities such as emerging technologies, policy support, and government initiatives. ▪ A look toward the future, predicting trends in sustainable technologies, preparing for Industry 5.0.

21-05-2024 16:30 21-05-2024 17:00 Europe/Madrid Sustainable Industries Through Automation and Digitalization Right now companies worldwide are challenged to change their processes quickly in order to contribute to the United Nations challenges on sustainability. This is a social obligation and towards our planet. In a context of Energy Transition in which we will still need fossil fuels while we move to a model supported by renewable energies, this implies great pressure on companies, particularly for the segments of energy, chemical and Oil & Gas companies. The only alternative is to be more efficient and this is where automation and digitization become the keys to meeting these challenges. The bases of this transformation go through changing business paradigms, moving to companies where management is integrated (process + energy), in a world where the data is in the Cloud, in a design conception of plants for their optimized operation and in global management of company sites. In this presentation we will share these concepts and real costumer examples. Room 2

22-05-2024 13:35 22-05-2024 14:05 Europe/Madrid Digital Transformation the Foundation for Decarbonization and a Greener Future Digital transformation plays a key role in supporting the goal of net-zero emissions by proactively identifying critical emission sources and recommended solutions. This includes the capability of examining emission composition, acquiring and analyzing related trended data, creating digital twins and optimizing models. The goal is to reach a proactive and integrative approach that manages decarbonization and results in industrial operation with a greener future. This presentation will provide an approach that encompasses different digital transformation capabilities such as IIoT, AI/ML, and Digital Twin as a foundation to reach this goal. In addition, best practices that overcome challenges associated with data quality, integration requirements, standardization and timely compliance will be shared. Moreover, a proposed method to analyze and predict energy demands and associated emission will be presented. Room 2

However, the development of sustainability-compatible behavior in its three ESG elements (environmental, social and governance) is by no means oblivious to the other global risks that society faces. In a context of rapid change, it must be based on artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, as it is impossible to achieve sustainability goals without these two elements. Room 2

23-05-2024 14:05 23-05-2024 14:35 Europe/Madrid IMAGINEXT: Project, SaaS that Combines Real-Time Pollution and Traffic Informaiton to Learn How Mobility Strategies Impact Air Quality The IMAGINEXT project focused on developing a SaaS solution to monitor mobility pollutant indicators and traffic conditions. Historic data was AI-processed to predict different pollution scenarios, in an open-standards innovative tool which serves as a basis for policy-making regarding mobility. The main objective of the project was to advance in the path towards decarbonization of cities through the implementation of previously validated mobility strategies. Two pilot tests took place in 2023, one in the city of Cartagena (Spain) and the other in the town of Lindau (Germany), which have different sizes and mobility patterns as well as mobility plans at different stages of implementation. Afterwards, each of them amended their already defined pollution targets and refined future mobility measures in line with the data collected and analysed during the pilots. Room 2
