At Smart Manufacturing Week 2025, two pioneering technology companies—Changing Planet Solutions (CPS) and Data Shack—unveiled an integrated approach that brings together AI and Scope 3 environmental due diligence in a single, scalable platform.

This new alliance connects CPS’s STERA platform with Data Shack’s Sigmafi AI Factory-in-a-Box, offering manufacturers a transformative way to compete and win on operational excellence and sustainability compliance.

With UK and EU legislation tightening around environmental disclosures, manufacturers face mounting pressure to demonstrate “Do No Harm” practices across their supply chains—often involving thousands of indirect suppliers. At the same time, operational performance, quality, and defect reduction remain key to commercial success. This collaboration solves both challenges at once, and allows UK manufacturers to focus on what they do best, build to export. 

From Factory Floor to Global Footprint: A Unified Advantage

• Sigmafi delivers Lean Six Sigma–based AI that optimises production, reduces variation, and drives quality in real time.

• STERA delivers Scope 3 due-diligence by engaging supply chains, delivering trusted ESG data through the Uniɸ Network, and enabling supplier decarbonisation via the CPS Academy.

Together, they offer a plug-and-play pathway to compliance, quality, and competitive edge.

“By embedding environmental due diligence into factory operations and supply chains, we give manufacturers a clear advantage in winning tenders, accelerating exports, and building ESG leadership,” said Anni Toner, CEO of Data Shack. “This isn’t a platform bolt-on—it’s a strategic leap forward in how factories think about quality, compliance, and competitiveness.”

“Our customers don’t want another system to manage—they want results,” added Mark Morahan, CEO of Changing Planet Solutions. “We’ve combined powerful AI, people on the ground, and proven data infrastructure to deliver Scope 3 at speed. With Sigmafi, it becomes part of the production DNA.”
