Digitalization

Take advantage of the fourth industrial revolution with our tailored digitalization strategy and benefit from more efficient decisions and faster solutions in your production.

The fourth industrial revolution is on the rise: networked sensor technology and intelligent algorithms make it possible to master complexity in production. Challenges are identified more quickly and solutions are developed faster thanks to targeted decision support. In order to work, however, digitalization concepts must be created specifically for each company. To this end, we offer a range of individual solutions, from the development of a digitalization strategy to the derivation of an implementation roadmap. Thanks to our research network, our solutions are always at the cutting edge.

Project example: Customer Success Story: Beiersdorf AG | Potential of a digital industry 4.0-Factory

Customer-Success-Stories_Beiersdorf_p1_shadow Digitalization

Together with Beiersdorf AG, the Global Production Management Center and the Production Management department at the Machine Tool Laboratory WZL at RWTH Aachen University examined and evaluated the construction of a new site for aerosol production. In this context, the potential of digitalization for the new factory was also examined in order to establish a future-proof infrastructure from the outset. The decisive factors in the evaluation were not only technical and financial feasibility, but also consistency with the general corporate strategy.

Against the backdrop of constantly advancing digitalization and a broad spectrum of available modern Industry 4.0 solutions, the aim was to identify those use cases that offered Beiersdorf AG technological, economic and ecological added value.

Results can also be transferred to other plants thanks to a standardized calculation tool

Die The evaluation of Industry 4.0 solutions has not only shown the potential but also the limits of digitalization for the new Industry 4.0 factory. An important basis for decision-making was created for the further planning of the factory and its infrastructure in particular. A standardized calculation structure was used to evaluate the use cases. The result is a tool that enables continuous evaluation of the use cases by simply adjusting the data and assumptions. This means that the project results can be transferred to other production sites by Beiersdorf AG itself with minimal effort.
