Digitalization in the process industry No industrial company in the world, no matter its size, will be able to sidestep digitalization. If you want to remain competitive, digitalization is not a question, it is a must. The same holds true for the process industry. But the road to the Digital Enterprise is not always easy. It’s important to find the right strategies for a successful digital transformation. We’re happy to help with our new Digitalization Consulting service offering.

The digital revolution’s potential for the process industry

Digitalization is a central topic at every company, and the necessary technologies are now available. However, here are the questions you must ask yourselves: Where do you start your digital transformation journey? At which costs? What do you already have? What do you need? How can you distinguish the disrupting technologies from the nice-to-have for my business?
We’ll work with you to develop the right digitalization strategy to ensure that your company will be able to focus on what’s important, namely business activities and competitiveness. As part of this process, it’s important to understand the challenges companies face today. Only then can the right technologies be selected for your specific needs, your installed base, and your particular challenges.

Good advice from Digitalization Consulting

We’d like to introduce you to our Digitalization Consulting service. Thanks to our strong expertise, our unique technology portfolio, and our methodical consulting, we’ll identify your deficits, classify them according to your business objectives, and create a neutral digitalization roadmap for you that corresponds to your needs, your business model, and your existing infrastructure (IT and OT).

Our Digitalization Consulting report accompanies you step by step through the digital transformation of your company. It contains your digitalization options as well as an investment calculation. The completion of the roadmap signals your transformation into a digitally operating company. You can do this by yourself or you can work with us or our partners. We also offer a solution portfolio that’s based on four key elements: software, communication, security, and services.

Industrial software and automation portfolio

With our engineering solution COMOS, all disciplines can be used to plan a plant with a common data basis. The bidirectional data transfer with the process control system SIMATIC PCS 7 offers many benefits in the automation. And with SIMIT, it is possible to simulate the plant behavior and, thus, detect and resolve errors before the commissioning. XHQ supports management decisions thanks to transparent facts and figures.

Industrial communication

Industrial communication networks must ensure not only that machinery and equipment communicate with each other, but also that all relevant data can be shared with the management level and other locations. Identification systems increase transparency and efficiency of the complete production and supply chain.
