Digitising mechanical engineering

Digitising mechanical engineering: More insight despite increasing customer individuality?

The increasing diversity of product portfolios of companies in the capital goods industry is leading to growing complexity and opaque product range networks, with extensive product knowledge often residing in the heads of individual product developers and technical specialists. This is a problem that can pose an existential threat to companies, especially in view of demographic change and the shortage of skilled workers.

How can this knowledge be retained for the future?

The key to success is to digitise early on! This not only preserves 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 digital transformation, theSAE CPQ platform offers extensive variant and configuration management functions, networks the company's existing applications and enables global sales for complex capital goods (including those with an ETO component).
