Digital Transformation for Industrial Machinery

Digitalization has tremendously increased the quality of products manufactured and significantly lowered the production cost. It has also been instrumental in helping manufacturers meet diverse customization needs from their customers. Therefore, it comes as no surprise that its adoption has accelerated in the last few years as companies seek to remain competitive.

Today's episode is divided in two parts. In the first part, Bettina Pruemper is joined by two guests from Siemens - Ian Hadden, Solution Director for the Industrial Machinery, and Giulia Piovano, Industry Manager focusing on Machinery. They'll help us understand digitization in the industrial machinery industry. 

In this episode, you’ll learn what is driving digitalization in the industrial machinery industry. We’ll also discuss the critical role played by data in increasing the effectiveness of automated equipment. Lastly, you’ll learn about the digitalization solutions that are currently available and the problems they are solving.
