Mechanical and plant engineering
mechanical engineering is among the top 3 most important industrial sectors in Germany and is strongly geared to exports. With more than 900,000 employees in Germany and around 300,000 abroad, the sector is a major employer. 60% of sales are attributable to exports.
The dynamics associated with the digital transformation repeatedly present German and also Swiss companies with the challenge of recognizing and successfully exploiting existing digitalization potential. Buzzwords here are Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data, artificial intelligence or machine learning.
In Switzerland, the industry consists mainly of highly specialized, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Both Swiss and German companies in the mechanical and plant engineering sector enjoy a good reputation worldwide and stand for quality, similar to the automotive sector and the chemical and pharmaceutical industry.
Solutions for digitization in mechanical and plant engineering
Digitization is an important topic in mechanical and plant engineering. By networking production processes and automating workflows, efficiency and productivity can be increased. The application of digital technologies can be used in various areas of mechanical and plant engineering:
Solutions, implementation options and application examples for digitization in mechanical and plant engineering are presented below:
Conclusion
Overall, digitization in mechanical and plant engineering offers a wide range of opportunities and possibilities for B2B companies. Intelligent networking and analysis of data can optimize processes, improve service quality and open up new business models. However, successful implementation also requires corresponding investments and a digital strategy. However, those who master these challenges can gain an important competitive advantage and be prepared for the future.
