Established structures are hindering digitalization in mechanical engineering
Abstract This article examines the current state of the system landscape in the R&D sector of mechanical engineering and makes it clear that without a fundamental overhaul of the methods, processes, and tools that have evolved over decades, the vision of Industry 4.0 will be difficult to achieve. First, typical characteristics of an established system landscape are described. Next, the article outlines the advantages of modern paradigms such as modular design and systems … Read more
