Reduction of carbon footprint through digital services
3 ways how KROHNE digital services reduce carbon emissions:
KROHNE offers numerous digital services that eliminate the need for physical copies of documents such as manuals, datasheets, and calibration certificates, reducing paper consumption, thereby decreasing the carbon footprint associated with production, printing, and distribution. Furthermore, the availability of online tutorials and digital documentation minimises on-site visits and associated emissions. On the other hand, operational efficiency can be increased by providing quick access to the required information and training.

How do these KROHNE services contribute to sustainability?
Less waste, travel and transport
The availability of online service videos and digital manuals can reduce the need for on-site visits by service personnel, thereby reducing travel-related emissions. In addition, the move from physical to digital documentation reduces waste and carbon emissions significantly.
Operational efficiency
Quick access to digital resources like documentation and tutorial videos directly at the device can optimise product use and maintenance, leading to more efficient operations and potentially lower energy consumption. In addition, the use of machine-to-machine interfaces for the exchange of documentation containers (e.g., VDI2770) minimises the need for manual processing, streamlining operations and enhancing efficiency.
Education
The platform serves an educational purpose by informing customers about sustainable practices in product use, including environmentally friendly disposal and recycling methods. Digital manuals and instructional videos facilitate proper maintenance practices, thereby extending the service life of products. This contributes to lower manufacturing emissions by reducing the need for frequent product replacement.
