# Industrial Metaverse: A Comprehensive Review, Environmental Impact, and Challenges
## 4 Use Cases and Deployment
### Deployment  
The IM is still in its early phases of growth and is gaining momentum to the extent that its large-scale deployment according to industry forecasts will take place in the next few years [65]. There are obstacles to its implementation and eventual popularization [66]. Several prevalent deployment cases [67] have to date been noted, namely Coca-Cola (HBC), General Motors (GM), automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Vodacom Group, Simulated Training Solutions, FREYR Battery, and Renault IM. It is important to remember that variables like water use, greenhouse gas emissions, and electricity consumption will be taken into account when evaluating IM deployment in this specific setting. Both scholarly and non-scholarly sources are used for this:

2. Coca-Cola HBC: The beverage behemoth's partner, Coca-Cola HBC, used the IM to improve the supply chain's resilience and sustainability. In order to reduce waste and increase sustainability while improving operational efficiency and lowering the transportation sector's carbon footprint, Coca-Cola HBC collaborated with Microsoft to create an immersive digital replica of its bottling facility in Edelstal, Austria. Additionally, Coca-Cola HBC implemented automated yard management and vision picking, which improved resource and availability checks, as well as directing trucks into loading docks and minimizing errors. By 2040, Coca-Cola HBC wants to have zero carbon emissions. The IM has improved this supply chain, allowing Coca-Cola HBC to meet changing customer wants and expectations while increasing operational efficiency, sustainability, and profitability. Coca-Cola HBS Austria has made investments in new machinery and systems at its Edelstal site to lower its usage of resources including energy and water. The new high-speed bottling process can fill 45,000 glass bottles an hour. This has enabled Coca-Cola HBC Austria in Edelstal to cut its carbon dioxide emissions by 50% from 2010 to 17.5 g per liter of beverage produced in 2019 [68]. In addition, the compressed-air network's six high-pressure compressors will be added to the current energy management system. PET bottles are formed from blanks using the 36 bars of air that these compressors produce. Ultimately, this reduces machine maintenance time and aligns the compressors in closer proportion to demand. Consequently, these six units account for roughly twenty percent of the plant energy consumption. Furthermore, Coca-Cola HBC has striven to use water more efficiently. According to Figure 5, in the year 2004, 2.7 L of water was utilized to make 1 L of beverage. However, at the end of 2017, it took 1.92 L of water to make 1 L of Coca-Cola. In 2020, the amount of water to produce a liter of Coke had dropped to 1.7 L of water [69]. 3. \begin{table}

Table 1: IM use cases. According to Mission Target 2025 [70], the liter per beverage is predicted to drop to 1.53, and this is inline with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the targets set forth by the United Nations. 2.
