The future is up to SIM
Rapid technological advancements and a changing global economy are leaving their mark on the industry. Innovations are coming thick and fast. Product life cycles are getting shorter. To remain competitive, companies need to be flexible and maintain an ability to adapt their production processes seamlessly and efficiently.
As mechanical engineers your role has moved on from what it used to be. Clients expect you to help them evaluate their production life cycles and come up with smart, flexible, modular solutions: Smart Industrial Machinery (SIM).
Intelligent network
Smart industry embraces all kinds of innovative trends, such as 3D printing, robotics and the Internet of Things (IoT). The IoT focuses on gathering, analysing and interpreting process and machine data, and enabling the machine or device to communicate automatically with other units within the production network. SIM offers important benefits and opportunities:
-By connecting and optimising different manufacturing processes, your clients are able to increase productivity.
-The smart analysis of machine data means they can anticipate issues more quickly and identify areas for improvement.
-Adaptable mechanical design and modular software allow your clients to modify their machinery quickly and efficiently.
-You can add value to your machinery and offer new services, for example uptime guarantee, predictive (i.e. preventive) maintenance and/or remote maintenance.
