This free study pinpoints challenges and offers specific approaches that are emerging as a result of digitalisation in factory equipment and mechanical engineering. Digital engineering is already widely established in large companies but SMEs can also profit from the trend toward digitalisation. Our study offers an insight into how businesses can harness the digital revolution to boost their working efficiency and be the first to conquer new fields of business.

However big or small your company is, digitalisation offers countless opportunities for mechanical engineering businesses to get a genuine edge on the competition and safeguard their future. Our checklist sets out specific issues that every company should take into account. It offers a quick and comprehensive overview of easily resolved weak points and provides effective support for planning the next steps in your digitalisation strategy.

Due to their efficient networking and the value of their engineering data, mechanical engineering companies are automatically a tempting target for cyber criminals. However, the biggest actual threat comes from just a small number of attack scenarios. Our whitepaper offers a clear explanation of how you can effectively protect yourself from these specific attack types and therefore makes a key contribution to data security and thus data protection in your company.

Digitalisation is having a massive impact on mechanical engineering and design processes, but a lot of the best-practice examples come from large companies. It is not surprising that SMEs often wonder how much digitalisation really affects them. From training the next generation of engineers to exploring infrastructure, our whitepaper shows just how urgently businesses need to roll out a digital strategy. It also explains how companies can present themselves as an attractive employer for the long term.

The digital revolution is also setting new standards in mechanical engineering, while design requirements are becoming ever more stringent. How can mechanical engineering companies remain competitive and keep up with the pressure to innovate in an increasingly digital world? This free whitepaper offers strategic approaches for doing just that.

Digitalisation has already fundamentally changed mechanical engineering. Companies therefore need to know exactly where to focus their attention in mechanical engineering in the digital future. For many years, our Europe-wide studies have been specifically asking about current challenges and opportunities in factory equipment and mechanical engineering. Use our know-how to optimise your efficiency in engineering and project coordination and secure your ideal position in the international marketplace.

Digital engineering offers the advantage of intuitive operation and global access to data. This networking aspect is also paving the way for a new form of teamwork known as social collaboration. By sharing data and knowledge in online communities, you can save a great deal of time, not to mention establish new types of business relations and an enhanced culture of innovation. Using practical examples, our whitepaper introduces you to the world of social collaboration.
