For customers operating in the discrete industries such as automotive, aerospace and machine tool building, short development cycles, high productivity and maximum production flexibility are priority issues. Addressing these needs will be the Digital Factory Division, with an integrated offering of hardware and software products along the entire value chain, from design and planning through engineering and execution to services, aimed at reducing time to market and enhancing production efficiency.

“Our integral portfolio covers the individual work steps along the value chain, bringing about a merger between the real and the virtual worlds. In this way, we can improve not just certain aspects of the workflow for our customers, but leverage its entire optimization potential”, explained Ralf-Michael Franke, CEO of the Factory Automation Business Unit within the Digital Factory Division.

“The importance of industrial software is set to go on increasing. In the virtual pre-production stages in particular, the use of PLM software will leverage significant productivity benefits – for instance at the product design or production simulation stage. Through the Digital Enterprise Platform, we will be able to link this virtual sphere with the downstream production-oriented engineering and execution stages, where we have already achieved a high degree of integration with our TIA (Totally Integrated Automation) concept.”
