An engineer uses advanced machine engineering solutions for machine design.

Industrial Machinery Digital Thread

Advanced machine engineering

Industrial machine builders need advanced machine design tools capable of creating a digital twin of machinery containing mechanical, electrical, software and automation information, so they can effectively deliver projects on time.

Build smart machines with advanced machine engineering

Today's machine builders are challenged to produce highly tailored, smart machines within a short timeline. Advanced machine engineering solutions from Siemens leverage next-generation design software, a digital twin for machine design and integrated digital tools to ensure the effective delivery of projects on time.

Embrace the future of advanced machine design

It's time for machine builders to digitally transform their work processes, so they can begin rapidly producing the smart, connected machines their customers expect.

Frequently asked questions

How can advanced machine engineering improve the manufacturing process?

Advanced machine engineering equips businesses with next generation design tools, a closed loop digital twin and integrated project delivery solutions. Through these three focus areas, firms can eliminate silos, validate sooner and deliver more orders than before.

How does advanced machine engineering contribute to sustainability and efficiency in manufacturing?

With advanced machine engineering's simulation capabilities, businesses can visualize a machine's energy use and scrap output in the digital twin. In turn, designers can fine-tune a machine before it's produced, helping to sustainably optimize its design.

How is advanced machine engineering shaping industry 4.0?

Advanced machine engineering is shaping industry 4.0 by helping more businesses digitally transform. Technological tools that connect data, depict visualizations and deliver products faster are necessary for surviving in today's competitive landscape.

What is machine design engineering?

Machine design engineering, or the way engineers design, manufacture and commission machines, is always evolving. Next-generation machine design integrates mechanical, electrical, electronic and software disciplines into a single design process. Through this collaboration, businesses realize a modular approach to machine design.

How can machine design affect the cost of production?

Machine design directly impacts the bottom line of production. Design for manufacturing (DFM) is the engineering practice of meeting design requirements while optimizing manufacturing ease and lowering production costs. From choosing the right component, part or material to efficient cable routing, each design decision directly affects production's bottom line. Machine builders that design for manufacturability can consistently deliver cost-effective, high-quality products more quickly than their competitors.

What is the best software for machine design?

NX, a part of the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, provides machine builders with next generation design tools. By integrating disciplines under one cohesive umbrella, greater alignment can be realized. In turn, machines can be visualized and validated sooner, leading to faster delivery of projects.
