Digital Transformation and Engineering

IoT Digital Transformation is a journey of strategically replacing manual processes with digital technologies across the entire organization and ecosystem. It’s a process of integrating various technologies such as cloud computing, big data, advanced analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning and IoT to fundamentally change how business works and deliver state of art products and services to its customer. Some of the advantages of digital transformation are increased profits, higher efficiency and improved customer service.

Some of the steps towards digital transformation include:

• Top-level management support
• Have a dedicated team focused solely on this initiative
• Identify the areas for digital transformation
• Create a plan for introducing new processes and workflows, a complete transition map

Digital Engineering is a collaboration of using digital processes to enable productive planning, designing, constructing, operating and maintaining assets throughout their lifecycle from concept through the disposal. The approach is to securely and safely connect people, processes, data, and digitally represent the system of interest in the virtual world. Transitioning to digital engineering will address long-standing challenges associated with complexity, uncertainty, and rapid change in engineering. By providing a more agile and responsive development environment, digital engineering will support engineering excellence and provide a more efficient environment.

Digitalization is more than a new way to overcome your existing rivals. At every level and feature, and throughout the organization, it is an opportunity to perfect business operations and practices to create a fresh, special, unbeatable set of competitive advantages. With the IoT, you can minimize costs while enhancing the quality of the product and output, operational flexibility and reliability, while reducing customer request and demand response time, increasing productivity and energy efficiency.

The digital innovation world is continuously changing. For example, the digital thread decreases maintenance costs while advancing to Industry 4.0 enables efficient management in production, data storage, and resource utilization. Digital engineering, however, has its own problems, one of which is data protection. When new technologies are placed in place, data protection in every manufacturing business can be lost or stolen by cyber-attacks.
