Description

The transition to a 'smart industry' is one of the biggest developments the manufacturing industry has seen in the last century. Digitisation and integration of all links in the production chain allow factories to bring customised products to the market just-in-time, at the cost price of mass production.

The recently opened Airborne Siemens FieldLab in Ypenburg will be a hotspot where companies, education and government work together on the digital factory.

The development of the 'digital factory' started decades ago at Siemens with the development of software solutions for industrial environments. There are now numerous software packages for product design, production planning, engineering and automation of production lines. With the Digital Enterprise Software Suite, Siemens provides a total package of software solutions, which is laid over physical production processes like a 'digital net'. Design and control software, which for years were two separate worlds, are hereby brought together in one virtual environment. This enables acceleration of production chains and delivers (economic) benefits.
