A mover system includes a track, a plurality of movers configured to move along the track, and one or more processors configured to determine a first amount of energy consumption associated with a first portion of the plurality of movers and a second amount of energy consumption associated with a second portion of the plurality of movers and determine a first emissions per unit for each of the first portion of the plurality of movers based on the first amount of energy consumption and a second emissions per unit for each of the second portion of the plurality of movers based on the second amount of energy consumption. The one or more processors are also configured to determine one or more operating settings for the mover system based on the first emissions per unit, the first emissions per unit, or both and send one or more commands to the first number of the plurality of movers, the second number of the plurality of movers, or both based on the one or more operating settings.
