Abstract

An enterprise system may include one or more devices with sensors that measure operational parameters of the devices. The enterprise system may also include a sustainability platform system that obtains a sustainability model representative of a state of operations of the enterprise based on the measured operational parameters and receives sustainability target data that includes one or more threshold limits, one or more ranges, or both for one or more sustainability parameters. The sustainability platform system may also obtain one or more action plans for adjusting respective operations of the devices based on the sustainability model and the sustainability target data, simulate a performance of the action plans over a period of time relative to the sustainability parameters, and determine whether the simulated performance of the action plans is effective.
