A recent study commissioned by Eaton, a global leader in intelligent power management, shows that companies in various sectors are increasingly willing to adopt artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies over legacy systems. The study surveyed digital transformation leaders in the data center, utilities, buildings, and manufacturing sectors in North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Results show that fewer companies view legacy technology as a barrier to digitalization, with a 10% shift in sentiment in less than 24 months.
The research highlights the urgency with which businesses want to implement AI and ML technologies, particularly in the data center sector, which is expected to underpin digital transformation efforts in other sectors. Data centers are focused on scaling up to meet growing demand, while utilities are grappling with outdated infrastructure and increased grid capacity requirements. Manufacturers see AI as a tool for decarbonization and boosting ESG scores, while building operators look to digital transformation to achieve sustainability targets.
Eaton’s Brightlayer software helps businesses embrace digitalization by leveraging AI, ML, and big data processing to optimize power management and make real-time decisions. The company, founded in 1911, reported revenues of $23.2 billion in 2023 and serves customers in more than 160 countries.
