The role of People and Digitalization as an Enabler of Resource Efficiency in Manufacturing
International audience Global sustainability challenges have been escalating in recent times, resulting in climate change, pollution, and resource scarcity. Reducing the amount of resources being used can help to mitigate these challenges by lowering our carbon footprint, reducing waste and improvin...
