The industry of the future comes to accelerate the modernization of the industrial tool, in the context of the deployment of new technologies. IoT, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Analytics, Digital Twins, virtual & augmented reality, and advanced technological tools must collaborate for the foundation of the new industrial model. They constitute an opportunity to improve the attractiveness of different industrial applications. Buildings, charging stations, factories and industrial zones are considered the main consumer of energy sources in urban areas. Over the decades, electricity generation has undergone several evolutions, moving from decentralized to centralized energy and arriving at distributed energy with the integration of renewable sources. The integration of renewable energy sources has been considered as an alternative option used by governments instead of upgrading traditional power stations. This is due to the availability of renewable energy sources and their advantages, including cost effectiveness, inexhaustibility, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. As for modernization, it is indeed about integrating new technologies to improve energy production and consumption. In this talk, we will present the evolution of industrial sectors using new technologies impacting both the production and consumption of energy.
