The new launch of the High-Tech Agenda is convincing, now it is speed and its impact that counts. More 'Research for Industry' is the order of the day, as is the transfer of results to a broad range of companies.
The EU Commission has launched a survey on the Digital Omnibus—a law that aims to simplify EU digital regulations. The VDMA is participating and calling upon the EU to be bold in simplifying.
Interoperability between machines and systems is a decisive factor for the creation of industrial data spaces and digital business models, but also for the implementation of legal requirements such as the EU Data Act.
How will Europe's mechanical and plant engineering industry hold its own in the global competition of the future? The new future study by VDMA and McKinsey shows which trends, success factors and approaches are crucial now.
The commercial use of space, known as New Space, is opening up new digital business models for the mechanical and plant engineering and software industries - that is the conclusion of the latest episode of the VDMA Industry Podcast.
A lack of new buildings, stalled refurbishment projects and rising costs are making the transformation of existing buildings towards climate neutrality more difficult. Viable concepts and a simplification of construction and approval practices are needed.
The digital transformation in mechanical engineering is also reflected in total IT costs, which have been rising at an average rate of 5% per year faster than sales since 2017.
Industrial SMEs must also rely on intelligent production processes and artificial intelligence. However, the digital transformation requires a profound change in mentality.
The new VDMA white paper uses case studies to show how artificial intelligence is already being used in processes, products and business models.
The digitalization of the service business as the basis for future viability in mechanical and plant engineering.
Not "cheap", but precisely high-quality and therefore "inexpensive". This offers the mechanical and plant engineering industry opportunities not only for new markets, but also for established ones.
Erleben Sie am 08.-09. Mai 2025 in Wien spannende Vorträge und Podiumsdiskussionen zu Digitalisierungslösungen im Maschinen- und Anlagenbau.
At the 14th German Mechanical Engineering Summit, discover the Industrial Metaverse: Future of Digital Networking. Experience opportunities and challenges, discuss potential for sustainable business and actively shape the future.
Digitization is a decisive key in mechanical and plant engineering to ensure the competitiveness of European industry and thus also prosperity in Europe.
Data is the blood of the complex organism of product development. The results report "Digital Product Development" by the WZL of RWTH Aachen University and the VDMA compactly shows how the many pieces of information can be effectively linked.
The demand and the need for conversation among like-minded professionals was great. Hundred of minds discussed the future of AI in mechanical and plant engineering.
Digitalization and Industry 4.0 make many things seem easier and better, including improving processes in production. But this only becomes successful when viewed through the classic lens of lean management.
Many companies will have to submit a sustainability report for the first time starting in 2025. Time is pressing, and preparations must begin now. ERP systems can be the decisive helpers here.
Our publications deal with various aspects of digitalization in mechanical engineering companies as well as cybersecurity and information security and serve as recommendations for action.
With the support of experienced scouts from the field, the first steps toward digitization become more tangible.
