Generally available technologies are adopted wherever possible and further refined together with value drivers into company-relevant applications.
Technologies:
Generally available technologies such as smart robots, advanced sensing, cloud technology, digital twins, 3D printing and more.
Value drivers:
Areas in which companies aim to achieve maximum impact, such as plant utilization, quality, personnel, flexibility, process efficiency and time to market. The focus differs dependent on the company and industry.
Applications:
To change the respective business processes of the company, appropriate applications must be selected and tested for suitability and cost-effectiveness in each particular case.
Four-phase procedure
Phase 1 Determine maturity level: identify your starting point
Phase 2 Identify potential: pinpoint value drivers and applications involving employees from relevant areas
Phase 3 Evaluate potential: evaluation of best practice solutions in consideration of the company’s general conditions and requirements
Phase 4 Create an implementation roadmap: project charters constitute the map for implementation
Defining a digitalization strategy from which specific goals can be derived.
Successfully implementing pilot projects as a template for future rollouts.
