Digitalization & New Technologies

In recent years, there has been a significant shift in consumer needs and expectations when it comes to electric vehicle (EV) charging. As the range of electric cars continues to grow, the traditional model of fueling up at gas stations is being challenged. This change in consumer behavior is set to have a profound impact on businesses that provide EV charging and mobility services.

The demand for alternative fuel services, particularly electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, is rapidly increasing across the European Union (EU). This article explores the key industry drivers that are shaping and propelling this development. Understanding these drivers is crucial for shaping the future of clean transportation and contributing to a sustainable future for all.

Working as a DevOps engineer is often like hiking on technology trails where old and new work methods and technologies meet. The purpose of this article is to share some of my experiences in this diverse and dynamic field and to explain how DevOps can renew and improve companies’ ways of operating.

Many manufacturing and production plants are designed for continuous operations. This default setup is incompatible with leveraging the new energy demand flexibility markets. Therefore, reaping any benefits requires changes to manufacturing processes. What are the first steps?

The global energy market is experiencing a paradigm shift towards sustainable and decentralized solutions. Key drivers behind this transition are demand flexibility services that accrue significant financial benefits for energy-intensive industries, including manufacturing and processing.

Digitalization, the green transition and geopolitical drivers of change shape the operating environment for Etteplan and our customers.

The global battle against climate change also transforms the realm of energy. One novelty is the energy flexibility demand market, which can significantly benefit manufacturing industries. What exactly is happening, and what is the role of smart factories and Industry 5.0?

Warming climate and its global effects are visible and affect the operations of companies and organizations. The amount of greenhouse gas emissions that intensify the global warming, i.e. the carbon footprint, must be reduced in all sectors globally. Calculating the current state of carbon footprint (baseline) is vital for companies to understand how much emissions are caused from the operations, and which factors are causing the biggest carbon footprint. After calculating the baseline, actions for reductions can be planned by drawing up a climate roadmap.

Thanks to technological advancements in processors and printed, flexible electronics, wearable MedTech – devices that can be worn on the body for various health measurements – have become more and more available today. Due to changes in demographics and advancements in treatment, the demand for such devices is also growing fast.
