Use case

Smarter sustainability & operational resilience

From ESG targets to daily practice: UDiTH turns sustainability operational.

UDiTH turns sustainability targets into daily practice. By combining energy transparency, safer workplaces, and efficient resource use, UDiTH helps organizations cut CO₂ emissions, protect employees, and improve profitability—linking ESG ambitions directly to operations.

The challenge

Industries face increasing pressure to lower their environmental footprint while staying profitable. Climate targets require significant CO₂ reductions, but many companies rely only on reporting and accounting instead of making real operational changes. At the same time, organizations must keep employees safe, retain knowledge, and avoid cost overruns.

The UDiTH solution

UDiTH integrates sustainability into operational excellence by addressing these three pillars – in one Digital Twin environment:

  • People (Safety): Digital Lockout/Tagout (LoToTo) integration, incident reporting & tracking through the CoTrack App , and risk assessments reduce workplace accidents.
  • Planet (Environment): Monitoring and visualization of energy usage can be used to optimize operations. Leaks can be centrally documented and inefficient processes corrected.
  • Profit (Performance): Better planning, reduced rework, and optimized turnarounds cut unnecessary costs and improve efficiency.

Relevant UDiTH capabilities

  • Reports: Generate reports for sustainability and ESG audits in UDiTH, with simple Excel export
  • Sketching: Visualize system improvements, sustainability concepts, or turnaround optimizations in lightweight 3D and P&ID sketches.
  • Markups: Add quick annotations on P&IDs or models to highlight leaks, inefficiencies, or hazards.
  • CoTrack: Manage incident reporting, risk assessments, and corrective actions in structured workflows.
  • Picture overlays: Document issues such as spills or insulation gaps with photos linked to the Digital Twin.
  • Historian insight: Monitor energy and process data in real time to detect and optimize inefficiencies.
  • Custom apps & connectors: Extend sustainability monitoring with energy dashboards, Power BI, or integration into external sustainability tools.
