About the figures on this page
The percentages above are industry reference levels published by international organisations: World Economic Forum · Global Lighthouse Network (2025) records leading factories achieving over 50% productivity gains and over 80% reduction in product defects, with energy consumption down 25–28% on average; International Federation of Robotics (2017), together with Boston Consulting Group and Accenture, estimates robotisation lifts labour productivity by 30–40% over a decade; McKinsey & Company (2021) reports condition-based maintenance cutting labour, downtime and spare-part costs by 30%; International Energy Agency (2017) estimates digitalisation and smart controls can cut building energy use by up to 10%. These are not measurements taken at any specific organisation; actual results vary with deployment scope and each organisation’s starting position. Figures DBIZ has measured in the field are published separately with the measurement method — see AP Agent — figures measured in the field.
