Mechanical engineering is one of the main pillars of the German economy and often stands for innovation, precision and efficiency. But despite these strengths, the industry is facing significant challenges, which we repeatedly hear about in technical discussions with our customers. In this blog post, we focus on the challenges of monitoring and maintaining machines: How can a machine be used optimally? And, if it fails, how can it be quickly put back into operation?

Customer portals bring digital services to the customer. To successfully implement or further develop a portal of this kind, the range of functions is not the only decisive criterion for success. Rather, methodology, technology and change management are equally important success factors for getting as close as possible to the vision of a holistic customer portal. Maturity levels help to successfully manage this complex transformation. Find out more in my blog post.

The increasing variety of options in industry requires innovative solutions. With the FIRE Engine and AI-supported similarity analysis, complexity can be reduced, resources optimised and configuration processes made more efficient. In this blog post, I'll show you how you can use modern technologies – for example LLM, AI and automated workflows – to increase your productivity and impress your customers.

Traceability describes the ability to seamlessly track products and their components through production. In this blog post, I use the success story of a global corporation in the field of special-purpose machine construction to show why traceability in production is so relevant, what benefits it brings and how we support its implementation.

Today's world is fast-moving and digitally networked. The streams of data flowing through our modern infrastructures are almost inexhaustible. From industrial plants to networked vehicles and smart cities - huge amounts of data are in circulation everywhere. In my blog post, I show how this data can be processed efficiently and in real time and what edge computing has to do with it.

In a globalised world, companies need to manage their supply chains efficiently and securely. The Supply Chain Control Tower (SCCT) is a centralised platform that provides a single source of truth, bringing together all the relevant data and enabling informed decisions to be made in real time. In my blog post, you will learn how an SCCT with technologies such as AI and digital twins can make your supply chain transparent, flexible and crisis-proof.

The efficiency of order fulfilment is a key success factor in the modern business world, especially in the manufacturing industry. Automating these processes end-to-end can be a huge challenge. In this blog post, I introduce the end-to-end automation of order processing using the example of an orchestra and present a successful solution approach.

Every day, employees struggle with manual reporting processes that cause high personnel costs, limited opportunities for process optimisation and quality deficiencies. Despite the crucial importance of KPIs for management, manual reporting processes are widespread in production. In this blog post, I explain why companies in the IIoT sector are starting with production reporting.

In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been on everyone's lips, promising to revolutionise the way we work and live in all industries. IoT devices, sensors and networks have been hailed as "the next big thing". But as with any technology trend that is heavily hyped, the question arises: is the Internet of Things dead? I answer this question in my blog post.
