While conversations often focus on productivity, automation also carries an environmental footprint that demands consideration. The shift towards bots results in significant energy consumption, contributing to environmental concerns.
Data centers handling automated processes require abundant energy, highlighting the need for energy-efficient strategies in the deployment of bots.
In contrast, digital transformation can lead to paperless offices, reduction of commute through remote work facilitation, and minimized resource waste, contributing to environmental benefits.
Balancing the environmental costs and benefits is critical as businesses continue integrating automation. Yet, within this challenge lies an opportunity to pioneer sustainable automation practices, creating ripples of positive change.
