Smarter, not harder: the Industrial Internet

enables smart power grids to more evenly

match demand for power with supply. It’s

estimated that ‘digital grid’ solutions could

reduce energy consumption by 12% by 2030

– saving the typical UK factory £881 off its annual energy bill!

It is estimated that 4IR technologies

will drive a 20% increase in manufacturing productivity by 2025.

This is equivalent to adding another

The Industrial Internet enables better decision-making. The UK’s automotive industry expects

to see inventory fall by 30%, machine downtime reduced by 40%, and time to market reduced

by 30%. That’s predicted to add up to a cool £8.6 billion of annual savings for the UK’s car

manufacturers by 2035 – enough to build Oxford and Cambridge Universities from scratch, every year!
