Digitizing mechanical engineering: More insight despite increasing customer individuality?

The increasing diversity of the product portfolios of companies in the capital goods sector is leading not only to growing complexity but also to opaque product range networks. Extensive product knowledge often resides in the heads of individual product developers and technical specialists. This is a problem that can even pose a threat to the existence of companies, especially in view of demographic change and the shortage of skilled workers. How can this knowledge be preserved for the future? The key to success is to digitize at an early stage! Not only does this preserve expertise, it also allows know-how to be multiplied worldwide and made accessible to all relevant stakeholders in the company – regardless of time, place and person. For a digital transformation, the SAE CPQ platform offers extensive variant and configuration management functions, networks the company’s existing applications and enables global sales for complex capital goods (also with an ETO component).
