Systems and methods for controlling manufacturing based on sustainability factor data

This invention describes a system that tracks the energy used by individual products as they move through a factory and undergo various manufacturing steps. It collects data on how much energy is consumed during transit and during machine operations for each product. Based on this detailed energy tracking, the system can then send instructions to automated factory equipment to adjust operations.

Why it matters: The patent was filed as sustainability reporting was gaining traction. Since 2023, the push for verifiable, granular ESG data has accelerated, making the detailed, per-product energy tracking described here more critical for demonstrating environmental impact and optimizing manufacturing processes.
