【Decarbonization】Decarbonization Management Platform – Decarbonization A Comprehensive Solution Covering Automation and AI-assistance

Facing its goal for carbon neutrality by 2030, Wistron proposed its Decarbonization Management Platform. It contains a series of digitized management measures, such as solar power generation management, PPA management, REC procurement management, energy conservation and consumption reduction management and direct/indirect emission management. By setting annual carbon reduction goals, this system automatically tracks and monitors the performance on various fronts and display them in a visual dashboard, allowing the viewer to see the progress to each objective. Wistron has integrated its energy and carbon emission management platform, which regularly compiles the environmental indicators at its manufacturing site, and offices, including carbon emission, power consumption, water consumption and waste generation. With smart electricity and water meters, the system automatically transmits data, allowing the company to properly manage its energy supporting information while conforming to the requirements and improving the quality for external and regular verification. Wistron’s highlight in 2023 include leveraging AI to develop cost-benefit assessments and optimization recommendations for carbon reduction, aiding to make carbon reduction decisions. The platform analyzes the power consumption models from various factories using past historical data and predict future power consumption growth with statistics such as power consumption needs and potential market as variable to emulate renewable energy percentages and allocations. The Sustainability Office, Decarbonization Pillar and Digital Technology team of Wistron worked together to design Decarbonization Management Platform, which can automatically evaluate the power consumption needs for the office and manufacturing site and evaluate renewable energy for optimal allocation to assist the company achieve its net-zero and carbon reduction goals. More importantly, the platform allows Wistron to evaluate the costs and benefits of each carbon reduction measure and thus find their optimal carbon reduction solution.
