Increasingly complex
business challenges
Industrial machinery is so critical
to a company’s success that it has
been called “the lifeblood of the
production process.” Because
companies can’t thrive without
fast, reliable, state-of-the-art
machines to manufacture their
product innovations, they place
extreme demands on their
machinery suppliers and in-house
machinery developers.
If you’re in the business of
producing industrial machinery,
you know about these extreme
demands: nearly impossible
delivery schedules, increasing
quality requirements and lower
price expectations, to name a few.
As you work to meet these
demands, you face your own
challenges as well.
In many cases, you’re facing
new competition, forcing you
to reduce prices and deliver
more value. By now you probably
have a supply chain that’s spread
throughout the world, which
helps reduce costs but brings its
own challenges.You may also have
your own global design and
manufacturing facilities you need
to integrate. And as you strive to
meet these challenges, you must
still be able to respond quickly to
new conditions in local markets
with timely and winning proposals
and quotes.
Digital product development
meets the challenge
Digital product development can
help you meet and excel at all
of these challenges. An all-digital
machinery development process
enables you to accelerate the
introduction of new products
while still promoting innovation
and maintaining the flexibility
and speed to react to changing
requirements.Working digitally
within a managed product
development environment, your
entire development team can
collaborate from a continuously
up-to-date digital product model.
This eliminates a high percentage
of development costs that are
currently wasted, and removes
activities that don’t add value.
And, most importantly, digital
product development helps you
foster an environment of
continuous innovation – an
environment that consistently
results in products and services
that clearly differentiate you
from your competitors.
Siemens PLM Software
production-proven applications
and process automation tools
give machinery developers
everything they need to manage,
automate and optimize product
development. In the following
pages, we’ll show you how digital
product development based
on Siemens’ applications can
transform each step in the
machinery development process.
