Holistic approach for the entire value chain

To use digitalization to its full potential it takes a holistic approach that looks at every aspect along the entire value chain. The Digital Enterprise Suite enables manufacturing companies to streamline and digitalize their entire business process, seamlessly integrating suppliers into the mix. They can begin at any point of their value chain: from product design to production planning and on to production engineering and production execution and finally to service. Companies can extend digitalization gradually, depending on their current needs. MindSphere allows analyzing production assets and products as they perform and feed back the insights into the entire value chain for continuous optimization.
