Automation and digitalization offer a significant competative edge in a volatile market environment
Digitalization and automation
solutions provide companies in discrete and process industries with the
necessary flexibility for new conditions
The Digital Enterprise Virtual
Summit showcased concrete and future-oriented solutions
The Digital Enterprise Virtual Summit
had around 12,000 registrations from Customers and Partners with already 6,300
live attendees on the day of the event
The current
situation creates major challenges for industrial companies worldwide – and
shows that digitalized and highly automated production is more important than
ever when it comes to gaining a competitive edge. This is the only way that
companies can react to current and future challenges with the required degree
of flexibility. Successful solutions were presented at the Digital Enterprise
Virtual Summit by Siemens on July 16. As part of the conference,
representatives from numerous companies from the discrete and process
industries discussed strategies and technologies for future success under these
new conditions. The focus was on topics such as the horizontal and vertical
integration of the value chain with simulation and optimization from product
creation through to servicing and from field level to the cloud. Other topics
included online and remote solutions as well as edge and cloud computing,
additive manufacturing, industrial 5G and artificial intelligence.

Enterprise Virtual Summit had around 12,000 registrations from Customers and
Partners with already 6,300 live attendees on the day of the event. The Summit
is now also available to be viewed on demand at http://www.siemens.com/digital-enterprise-summit.

“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.”
