Energy Mapping and Resource Efficiency Using Geospatial Tools
Abstract
Manufacturing industries account for a significant share of global energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, making resource efficiency an urgent priority. This chapter examines the integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) with Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies, digital twins, and artificial intelligence to enable spatial energy mapping and resource efficiency in manufacturing environments. Energy consumption data collected from smart submeters and edge-computing platforms can be visualized as geospatial layers to identify energy hotspots, quantify waste sources, and prioritize intervention strategies.
