It is a kind of technology that helped some of the world’s biggest companies market themselves as pillars for work for a collapsing world in 2020. Technology touched and penetrated absolutely every aspect and component of the modern world; efficiency, productivity and sustainability were the buzzwords of the time. From Lenovo, the big leading professionals on technology and production, to Rivian, the new upcomers who haven’t won their position yet and are considered the closest rivals for Tesla, it is important to see how technology can help them reshape their production process, adapt to a changing taste and trend in the consumers’ demands and help them get ahead of the game for a green and sustainable world.
This year, the electric car manufacturer Rivian, which recently announced its commitment to manufacturing a zero-carbon vehicle and responsible material sourcing, implemented Autodesk virtual and mixed reality (VR/MR) tools on the Varjo headsets to improve Rivian’s design and engineering efficiency, reducing carbon footprint, waste and cost.
Likewise, Lenovo has laid out goals for building the Metaverse around sustainability. On its web site, Lenovo promises that, by partnering with and leading the way for cutting-edge technologies, users can not only enjoy and engage with new forms of digital experience, but that the company will ‘commit to reducing business emissions, transforming supply chains, and accelerating our use of digital solutions and efficiency to drive a better future for our planet.’ Like Rivian, Lenovo is betting that digital solutions will generate enormous reductions in physical waste and emissions.
Digital twins, a new paradigm where every component of our physical world has a virtual counterpart, is a key example of how digital solutions can lead to greater synergies between profitability and sustainability. According to Lenovo, digital twins – which are exact replicas of materials, products, manufacturing processes, buildings and even human beings, to name a few applications – allow for faster and cheaper iterations of new products without creating a single physical prototype. In turn, less material is required and less waste is produced.
Rivian’s use of it by employing Autodesk VRED and Varjo headsets illustrated the power of digital, mock-up-replacing models when it came to overcoming barriers of geography, reducing the use of raw materials in forming mock-ups, and saving money on design and development efforts. It served as a primer for other companies looking to get into this technology space, including Lenovo, which identified this area as a way to achieve its sustainability goals.
Sustainability is clearly important at Lenovo, in the way the company operates, in its products, and in its partners and alliances. From using technology to improve the energy efficiency of its manufacturing plants, to innovative, human-centred designs that meet consumer needs while minimising environmental footprints, the company is a pioneer in the tech industry.
Lenovo is a $50 billion global Fortune 500 PC company, engineering better connections by designing fabulous new technology products and services. From portable PCs in 1984 to the pioneering ThinkPad laptop of the mid-1990s, today Lenovo provides everything from smartphones and tablets to smart TVs and what seems like every possible computer or technology accessory. Over the years, Lenovo has learned that guiding society to a brighter future requires more than technical savvy and progressive product design. It requires creating a harmonious balance between the rapid pace of innovation and our planet’s wellbeing. Lenovo’s growth trajectory over the past decade has been singular – we’ve grown faster than any Fortune 500 company in the world.
