The pace of digitalization is unprecedented. It's all enabled by digital threads that turn silo data into connected disciplines and processes. These threads form the neural network of a digital twin -- a virtual entity that mirrors the physical world, turning data into insight to continuously design, build and optimize throughout the product and production lifecycle.
Heavy equipment companies cannot afford to miss out on the ongoing innovation wave, which can be characterized by the massive introduction of new capabilities based on digital technologies and by electrification. They must investigate how to upgrade their products, define their future span of activities, and rethink their position in a market that is in full transformation. But to create the necessary bandwidth for such existential considerations, they must secure their daily business by timely delivery of current equipment.
By accelerating equipment design and delivery, Siemens helps OEMs successfully navigate through this complex transition period. Siemens Accelerated Equipment Design solutions offer OEMs a collaborative design environment for multi-disciplinary design to specifically address those challenges that slow down product development and equipment design. These include dealing with many equipment design variants, increased design complexity, regulatory compliance, and disconnected design workflows.
Le secteur de l'équipement lourd a atteint un tournant critique. Les fabricants sont confrontés à d'énormes défis. Ils doivent se conformer aux réglementations en matière d'émissions de gaz à effet de serre et de sécurité de plusieurs gouvernements, tout en intégrant les technologies connectées que les clients exigent.
Les fabricants d'équipements lourds doivent combiner la simulation et les solutions IoT pour créer la prochaine génération de machines. Les solutions de Siemens pour l'ingénierie prédictive des performances intègrent la conception multi-physique, la simulation, les tests et l'analyse des données de terrain dans des flux de travail communs et connectés afin de produire des résultats précis plus rapidement, tout en faisant des économies.
Heavy equipment manufacturing companies must manufacture a totally new generation of machines to address today’s increasing demand for digital technologies, electrification, and specialization. This adds complexity to their heavy equipment manufacturing process, such as more components from more diverse suppliers and a greater degree of customization. To stay in business, they must find a way to deliver this without affecting their margins, thereby additionally challenged by having global operations and an increased mandate to implement a sustainability strategy.
With smart heavy equipment manufacturing capabilities, Siemens helps companies win in the global marketplace by making what their customers demand in an efficient and sustainable way. Siemens Smart Heavy Equipment Manufacturing solutions offer heavy equipment manufacturing companies all the necessary capabilities to achieve zero defect manufacturing everywhere. They can achieve this by optimizing their manufacturing operations and by digitally connecting departments and locations, throughout their organization as well as with suppliers.
Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) has become indispensable for today’s innovative machine design. Heavy equipment development programs have always happened under pressure because of machine complexity, the numerous configurations, and the timebound delivery. Still, many OEMs spend half of their resources on fixing integration problems due to flawed communication between domains and with suppliers. Today, with software, digital innovations and electrification multiplying the interactions between subsystems and with the environment, they can no longer afford that.
With MBSE, they can eliminate all static document-based information exchange between stakeholders from across departments and suppliers. Instead, MBSE helps them drive dynamic collaboration between everyone, based on shared system models and their interactions at the interfaces, while continuously focusing on the overall requirements. In this way, MBSE will help OEMs achieve their design goals faster and dramatically reduce the risk that problems are discovered late, when they are expensive or even impossible to fix.
