How digitalization is helping the off-highway industry create and test ground-breaking vehicle designs
Explore all design possibilities and innovations to match new regulations.
New technologies are popping up in the heavy equipment industry to match new regulations. Exploring all design possibilities and defining innovative development methodologies to offer the market the most suitable and reliable machine is a major challenge.
During this roundtable discussion, the panelists will consider how digitalization supports the engineering process and accelerates the development of reliable and high-functioning machines. In fact, orchestrating a new heavy equipment technical program using a smart combination of simulation and testing over the V-cycle enables you to:
- Save time and development costs before prototyping
- Accelerate innovation to increase market share
- Achieve greater productivity at every organizational level
Key points you will learn in heavy equipment engineering digitalization
- How to perform early verification of products to ensure they fulfil requirements
- How to virtually explore the design space in a safe environment
- How to make engineering decisions with confidence
- How to speed up the engineering process using workflow automation
