Abstract

This study focuses on implementing PowerApps to automate and optimize the calculation of the carbon footprint at ABB, a company dedicated to industrial process automation in the mining sector. The implementation not only significantly reduced the time required for data collection and processing but also improved the accuracy of the results, thereby ensuring compliance with environmental standards established by current regulations. The research followed a quantitative approach, employing an applied quasi-experimental design. The study included data from 12 services across the company's areas involved. Through the collection and statistical analysis of the information, the department responsible observed a notable improvement, as the results showed that after the implementation, all services achieved a high rating in terms of efficiency and accuracy in the carbon footprint calculation process. This contributed to significant optimization in the management required to carry out the measurement.
