Delivering Sustainability Goals in Manufacturing Through IoT

Dr. Joe Nyangon delivered a panel presentation titled “Delivering Sustainability Goals in Manufacturing Through IoT” at the IoT DaySlam 2023 conference, contributing expert insights on how connected technologies are reshaping sustainable manufacturing.

The session explored how sustainability has evolved from a corporate aspiration into a strategic and operational imperative. Panelists discussed how manufacturers are increasingly leveraging Internet of Things (IoT) solutions to measure, manage, and optimize production processes in pursuit of lower emissions, reduced waste, and improved energy efficiency. Through real-world examples, the discussion highlighted how data-driven visibility enables companies to modify process settings, optimize resource use, and align operational performance with environmental goals.

Dr. Nyangon emphasized the critical role of advanced analytics, energy systems expertise, and cross-sector collaboration in translating IoT data into actionable sustainability outcomes. Drawing on his background in energy systems engineering, energy economics, and power grid modernization, he underscored the importance of integrating manufacturing sustainability efforts with broader energy transition objectives.

The panel also featured Charles Phillips, Strategy and Engagement Lead for SAS Global Manufacturing, and Manfred Kuegel of the SAS Global IoT Division, bringing together deep expertise across manufacturing strategy, analytics, and industrial IoT applications.

IoT DaySlam 2023 convened industry leaders, technologists, and innovators to examine the current and future state of IoT-driven transformation across sectors.
