How does our sector remain efficient, fast, and attractive now that the population is aging and searching harder for skilled workers no longer offers a solution?
In this presentation, we discuss servitization, the idea of organizing processes, knowledge, and products as a service rather than constantly rebuilding them yourself. We examine why innovation and digitalization are no longer a luxury, and what steps you can take to start with a virtual twin without overhauling everything at once. Using examples from mechanical processing, assembly, and wiring, we show how standardization safeguards knowledge, shortens lead times, and improves quality. Finally, we outline how AI can play a role in creating schematics, documentation, and wire and cable sets, and what this means for the role of the engineer.
