Électrification

Poussé par la nécessité de réduire les émissions et le bruit, le marché des équipements lourds effectue une transition vers des systèmes de propulsion hybrides, électriques et même à hydrogène. Cette évolution a un impact sur toutes les étapes de la chaîne d'approvisionnement. Ces technologies nouvellement déployées dans le secteur des équipements lourds ont un impact important sur le processus d'ingénierie. Définir la conception d'une machine électrifiée la plus optimale est complexe et nécessite que les ingénieurs apprennent et fassent progresser leur expertise dans un nouveau domaine. Cette conception doit également permettre aux utilisateurs finaux dans le domaine de la construction, de l'agriculture ou de l'exploitation minière d'atteindre, voire, de dépasser les niveaux de performance habituels tout en garantissant que la machine respecte les normes plus strictes en matière de bruit et d'émissions de gaz à effet de serre.

E-commerce and exigent consumers disrupting material handling

From warehouse management to shop-floor operations, to field operations, and more - material handling spans a wide range of activities, all requiring dedicated machinery. That led to a fragmented material handling equipment market, with a lot of niche specialization, and a relatively stable competitive landscape in each subsegment. Today, however, ongoing evolutions are disrupting the status quo. These include accelerated adoption of e-commerce, consumer expectations like same-day delivery, stock-keeping units (SKUs) becoming commonplace, the deployment of warehouse networks, aging workforce, and more. Their common outcome is increased demand for digitalization, automation and integration of services and activities.

Increased material handling digitalization and automation

New applications, based on emerging technologies like automation and artificial intelligence (AI), are rapidly gaining ground, including autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and automated storage-and-retrieval systems (ASRS). Material handling equipment OEMs must embrace such innovations, upgrade their offering, and/or diversify their activities. They must redirect their focus to resolving fundamental questions like how to shorten overall lead times while logistics become increasingly complex. And next, how to achieve this while minimizing total cost of ownership, aiming at longer replacement cycles and lower maintenance, and in a sustainable way, with regulations for safety and emissions becoming ever more stringent?

Faster design and delivery of material handling equipment

Material handling equipment OEMs are at a critical point in their existence, where they need to define their future span of activities. The must investigate what is necessary to deliver the innovative material handling solutions and business models that will make them successful. Meanwhile they need to secure their daily business by timely delivery of mainstream equipment. By accelerating the design and delivery of their material handling equipment, Siemens Digital Industries Software provides OEMs with the necessary bandwidth to explore the feasibility of innovative applications and take the lead in an industry that is in full transformation.
