Increasing cost pressures, time constraints and a skilled labor shortage are straining production line engineering. Leveraging modular design principles, emerging technologies and innovative business models are key to addressing these challenges and achieving sustainable, long-term success.
Line builders and system integrators are under mounting pressure: They and their customers are grappling with a worsening labor and skills shortage, while the production lines they build are expected to become increasingly efficient and flexible. To maintain competitiveness in an increasingly complex environment, companies must reevaluate their production methods and revamp their operations.
Using an automation and digitalization solution from Siemens to achieve an end-to-end view of its operations, Pfizer reduced its transportation of raw materials by truck by almost 50%. (Pfizer)
Leveraging the holistic Siemens Xcelerator portfolio, VinFast built its fully digital factory in just 21 months, reducing its time to market by 50% compared to similar projects. (VinFast)
Networking and visualizing data in the Desigo CC management system from Siemens helps Pfizer’s high-containment production plant consume about 40% less energy than traditional plants. (Pfizer)
