The industrial world is facing urgent, rapidly changing challenges. The world’s resources are finite, and we all need to make more
with less. Digitalization and automation are the game changers to meet these challenges. They create terabytes of data and it is essential to collect, understand and use this data.
The Digital Enterprise is doing exactly this, by combining the real and the digital worlds in a continuous flow of data. A key part of that is the comprehensive Digital Twin, which merges all the data from the entire lifecycle of products and production, from the initial concept to the finished products and their production to performance. Cutting-edge technologies make it possible to understand this data and use it intensively. Digital Threads help us navigate it all in order to swiftly and reliably solve specific challenges. They provide digitalized processes and revolutionize the way products are developed, produced, and optimized.
Thus, the Digital Enterprise brings together processes that were previously separate. It breaks down traditional silos and helps bridge the gaps between software and hardware, IT and OT, shop floor and top floor. As a result, infinite data allows us to use our finite resources efficiently. And make industry more sustainable.
