Julia Asplund, Scania, gave an overview about energy efficiency in Scania and how the drive towards decarbonization influenced their new zero-emission factory in Rugao in China\u2019s Jiangsu province. She elaborated on Scania\u2019s holistic view of energy saving in production which covers four levels: organizational, site, workshop and process levels.<\/p>\n
Looking on the organizational level Scania focuses on global as well as Chinese sustainability targets and scientific reasoning for implementing their measures into their new factory in Rugao. This includes, for example, standardized working processes<\/strong> to incorporate energy efficiency, continuous energy awareness training<\/strong> for their employees and project leaders and many more targets. On the remaining levels they mainly focus the three Rs: renewable, re-use and reduce. Julia Asplund explained this more in detail with different first-hand examples used at the plant.<\/p>\n<\/div>Enhancing manufacturing sustainability – an infrastructure perspective<\/h3><\/div>Mr. Zhang Shuhao, Drees & Sommer, talked about enhancing manufacturing sustainability and future-oriented manufacturing from an infrastructure perspective and from a product perspective. As a case study he presented phase 1 of Schaeffler\u2019s new campus in Taicang.<\/p>\n
After a general introduction Zhang Shuhao explained the first phase of Schaeffler\u2019s future- oriented campus in Taicang. The new campus was built focusing on the DGNB certification system.<\/strong> As an example, the indoor thermal comfort and heating is based on the DGNB targets and materials used in the offices are made sure to fit the DGNB requirements, thus, making Schaeffler\u2019s Taicang campus to the first gold certified production building in China.<\/p>\nThe keynote speeches were followed by a Q&A round further highlighting achievements and challenges of developing a sustainable manufacturing environment.
