Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the integration of Intelligent Control Systems in the global industrial sector, focusing on enhancing energy management through the synergy of Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Machine Learning (ML), and Digital Twin technologies. We elaborate on a novel ICS architecture designed to optimize energy consumption, reduce operational costs, and minimize environmental impacts. Our system leverages SCADA for real-time monitoring and control, ML algorithms for predictive analytics and optimization, and Digital Twin technology for advanced simulation and operational efficiency. The implementation of the system in a mid-scale industrial facility demonstrated significant improvements: a 15% reduction in energy consumption, an 18% decrease in peak energy demand, a 30% reduction in CO2 emissions, and a 15% reduction in operational downtime, with predictive accuracy standing at 90%. These results underline the potential of integrating advanced digital technologies in industrial energy management, offering a scalable model for sustainable and efficient industrial practices. Future work will explore broader applications and the incorporation of emerging technologies to further enhance the system's capabilities and applicability in diverse industrial settings.
