EMPOWERING THE WORLD'S MACHINE ENGINEERING

Machine manufacturers must build smarter machines to compete globally with shrinking margins, expanding customisation and environmental and government regulations.

- Bill Butcher

A recently published Siemens’ ebook discusses how engineering is evolving from traditionally engineered products to digitally simulated de-signs. Consumers are demanding customisation to meet complex, specific needs for their products. Subsequently, a customer’s machinery must support the need for flexible, smart connected machines via the Internet of Things (IoT).

Advanced machine engineering ensures the development of these next-generation machines, and a digital twin provides the machinery to excel in an industry that is demanding customisation. Moreover, collaborating with multiple disciplines allows these smart connected machines to reduce the time to market using virtual design and commissioning. This process results in improved validation, shorter commissioning times and faster productivity, leading to more significant innovation in highly competitive global markets.
