The term digital engineering is particularly at home in the fields of Industry and Factory 4.0, artificial intelligence and automation. Here, it describes the combination of classic engineering skills with modern, digital technologies.
The focus is on the development and use of digital tools to design products, machines or processes more efficiently. This means that instead of designing everything "by hand", engineers today use programmes, sensors and data analyses to work faster and more accurately. For example, machines in a factory are not only built, but are constantly monitored by smart systems and automatically adjusted in the event of problems.
An illustrative example: In the past, an engineer designed a production line and had to make changes on site. Today, he can use digital engineering to simulate a virtual factory on the computer, optimise processes and use artificial intelligence to predict when a machine needs to be serviced. This saves material, time and costs.
This approach creates new opportunities to produce more efficiently and ensure quality - a real benefit for companies, customers and the industry of the future.
