You can gaze into the goings on of your manufacturing process—and you don’t need magic or a crystal ball to do it. You just need the right digital twin that meets the specific needs of your business. The rapid adoption of the technology, by almost 75% of companies in advanced industries, like aerospace and automotive, is a portent. With a lowering level of complexity, the practice is sifting down to small and medium-size businesses (SMBs), according to a 2023 McKinsey & Company survey. So, how do you choose? Here are some answers to seek— Does the software use hybrid analytics? Is it open or closed? Is it scalable? How does it handle various types of data? Digital twins and simulation tools can help you foretell the fortune of your factory floor and take action before something wicked (or production disrupting) your way comes. Our tools, like the low-code Mendix, can bring you closer to a future of advanced efficiency and innovation. Click the link in our comments for the full article! #DigitalTwin #Simulation

Sustainability in this digital age is all about the harmonious convergence of man, machine and nature. The convergence of IT and OT through digitalization is a microcosm of that harmonious union. The phrase “survival of the fittest” applies in business just as it does in nature. Evolution is imperative to survive and thrive. Businesses should aim to continuously evolve to augment operations, address sustainability requirements, and remain competitive. Additionally, with factories becoming more connected than ever, it is crucial that companies keep up to date with cybersecurity. Properly integrating IT and OT capabilities helps companies innovate through data analysis, digitalization and AI all while monitoring its environmental impact. #Sustainability #IT #OT

The aerospace industry faces significant challenges, including workforce shortages and the need for faster, more efficient design methodologies. Our digital tools address these challenges by democratizing access to advanced engineering tools, fostering innovation, and enhancing competitiveness across the sector through the integration of digital threads. “By leveraging digital transformation, including digital threads, we empower engineers to innovate rapidly and efficiently. This not only helps our customers bridge the skills gap, but also ensures that companies of all sizes can compete on a global scale," said Anthony Nicoli, Senior Director Aerospace & Defense at Siemens Digital Industries Software. These tools enable engineers to iterate designs rapidly, substantially reducing time and cost burdens. This democratization allows companies of all sizes to leverage cutting-edge technologies, leveling the playing field in the competitive global market.

We're thrilled to share that #SiemensXcelerator as a Service now supports Panasonic’s digital transformation of home appliance development. Our collaboration will achieve a large-scale implementation of Siemens Xcelerator as a Service with a cloud-based product lifecycle management solution, and aims to enhance Panasonic's enterprise value and drive digital transformation (DX) easier, faster and at scale by moving to a cloud-based implementation. Through this large-scale implementation of Teamcenter X software, a #SaaS cloud product lifecycle management solution from our Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, we're helping Panasonic integrate data management processes across product design and development, reduce lead times, and to support continuous, rapid market availability of the high quality products. By migrating legacy IT assets and traditional on-premise data management to the cloud, Panasonic aims to reduce IT infrastructure maintenance labor-hours and the total cost of ownership, enable rapidly deployed access to updated versions for the latest PLM functionality and IT infrastructure capabilities and access secure systems across locations in Japan and its locations around the world from a variety of device types and via remote access. https://sie.ag/4b9fgD

As the summer games continue, surfing is one of the sports to look out for. Where does the digital twin come into play? Surf Loch leverages the digital twin to simulate and create customized waves to provide surfers a real-world surfing experience. “Making the perfect wave requires an astounding amount of calculation,” said Thomas J. Lochtefeld, Surf Loch’s CEO. “Siemens’ Xcelerator portfolio gives us this capability. We leverage the world’s most comprehensive digital twin within an ecosystem of technology suppliers and equipment providers. This ecosystem allows us to create repeatable waves that all surfer[s] will enjoy.” For the full IoT World Today article, head over to our comments for the link! #DigitalTwin #Surfing #DigitalTransformation

The Farnborough International Airshow serves as an excellent platform to connect with clients, explore the latest industry developments, and showcase our cutting-edge digital tools for the aerospace and defense division. Barry Chapman, our VP and GM of U.S. Industries, shared his thoughts on the event: “The Farnborough International Airshow has been absolutely wonderful. It provided an excellent opportunity to meet with clients, understand the latest developments in the aerospace and defense industry, and showcase how Siemens A&D digital threads benefit the global aerospace and defense sectors. We are providing the A&D industry and governments with solutions to enhance the design, manufacturing, and sustainment of their products. However, the best aspect of the show was the 100’s of face-to-face interaction with customers, partners, and the Siemens team.” #FIA2024 #Aerospace
