ITAP 2024: C&T Solution Drives Sustainable Manufacturing with AI-Powered Edge Solutions
Singapore, October 17, 2024 — The Industrial Transformation ASIA-PACIFIC (ITAP) 2024 concluded with a clear message: the future of manufacturing hinges on the balance between the digital revolution and the green transition. During the opening ceremony, Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister highlighted a critical challenge for the industry, stating:
"Manufacturing sits at the nexus of two major intersecting trends – the digital revolution and the green transition. At the same time, the manufacturing sector globally accounts for around one-fifth of global carbon emissions. So it is critical that new green and sustainable solutions are enabled and deployed by the sector to support and accelerate global efforts to combat climate change."
This theme strongly resonated throughout the event, particularly as artificial intelligence (AI) continues to drive advancements in manufacturing. However, the energy demands of AI, especially in large-scale cloud operations, are substantial, raising concerns about sustainability. It’s here that edge computing and ruggedized industrial computers play a crucial role in reducing energy consumption and enhancing sustainability.

The Shift to Edge Computing for Sustainable Manufacturing
As discussed during ITAP 2024, AI's energy consumption can be a major obstacle to sustainability efforts. Centralized, cloud-based AI systems require large amounts of electricity for data processing and transmission. By shifting these processes to the edge, manufacturers can significantly reduce energy demands. Edge computing enables data to be processed locally on devices such as industrial PCs, cutting down on the need for cloud connectivity and the associated energy costs of data transmission and centralized processing.
