1Does the company work with energy efficiency?
2If yes, in which processes do you work to increase energy efficiency?
3Has digitalization or the adoption of digital tools been part of the company’s strategy to increase energy efficiency?
4What are the goals for digitalization linked to energy efficiency work in your company?
5Which digital tools will the company work with linked to energy efficiency in the next 5–10 years?
6What type of digital tools does the company currently use in energy efficiency work? Please describe below
7Do you use any of the following digital tools in your business? If you do, rate how important it is to your business from 1 to 5
aInternet of Things (IoT): Physical objects connected to the Internet in order to monitor. communicate and collect data, etc.
bCyber Physical Systems: Often similar to the Internet of Things, where mechanisms can be controlled and monitored by algorithms. For example, industrial process control in continuous production processes
cBig Data and Big Data Analysis: Advanced analysis technology against large, diverse data sets. Can be used for decision making and future predictions
dCloud storage and computing: Allows connection between different units in a company or outside
eEdge Computing: Data analysis and monitoring of devices, for example with sensors
fArtificial Intelligence: Smart algorithms for optimal decision-making. For example, autonomous machines and machine learning
gAutomated production simulations: Software to simulate robotics digitally
hVirtual Reality: Can help visualize facilities and components to improve decision making. reduce training costs and increase transparency
iAugmented reality: A combination of real and digital impressions in real time. For example, a digital filter to guide operators in a production facility
jAutonomous robots: Intelligent machines that can perform tasks and operate in an environment independently
8Of the digital tools used in your business, specify whether they are used in production processes, in support processes or both
