Press Release17 July 2020Digital IndustriesNuremberg
Automation and digitalization offer a significant competitive edge in a volatile market environment
“Digital and automation solutions proved
themselves during this crisis. Companies that had already invested in
digitalization were better equipped to handle the new requirements, such as
quickly scaling back production, for example in the automotive industry, or
ramping up production, such as in the pharmaceutical sector. In future, these
technologies will also ensure that companies can react particularly effectively
to crisis situations and changing market requirements because they can adjust
their production quickly and flexibly,” explains Klaus Helmrich, Member of the
Board of Siemens AG and CEO Digital Industries. “This flexibility is also the next step toward
autonomous production processes.”
Siemens is
therefore integrating future technologies such as artificial intelligence, edge
computing and cloud technologies, additive manufacturing or industrial 5G into
its Digital Enterprise portfolio and helping industrial companies to work under
these new conditions and to meet the requirements of today and tomorrow. Klaus
Helmrich: “No company can meet the current challenges on their own. It's all
the more important that industrial companies act in ecosystems. All
stakeholders - developers, users, partners and integrators - can bring their
own strengths and thus increase the value of these ecosystems.”
