Aerospace and Defense
Reaching New Heights in Program Success
Bridge the gap between the virtual and real world to accelerate from concept to operations.
Across the Aerospace & Defence industry, rising customer expectations (lower costs, higher standards and increase capabilities) along with growing program complexity make it more challenging to compete.
As systems become more complex to design, build and deliver, OEMs and suppliers need to accelerate innovation, drive efficiencies and move to the factory of the future to allow for greater agility on production rate. This requires a new way to conceptualize, design, manufacture, test, certify and sustain new air and space vehicles.
The aerospace industry is known for making giant leaps in technology with each generation of aircraft. The next decade will see more of these great leaps than the past ten with significant new challenges in sight and new technologies emerging to overcome them.
Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) must consider how to safely and sustainably move faster through adoption of advanced materials, robotics, additive manufacturing, artificial intelligence, advanced data analytics and other technologies. They need to use these new capabilities to achieve greater effectiveness and versatility together with their value network for delivering manned and unmanned systems, greater fuel efficiency in commercial aircraft and increased reliability and cost-effectiveness across the board.
While aerospace and defence suppliers are now accountable to drive significant cost reduction and ensure higher levels of quality, they must also create increasingly complex components and sub-systems to meet OEMs’ demand for innovation. This requires serious investment in new engineering and manufacturing capabilities to increase innovation and drive costs down, to ensure consistency and traceability of all products and process information, to comply to programs and regulations requirements, while protecting vital Intellectual Property.
An unprecedented period of defence modernization is starting, triggered by the global geopolitical instability. Countries around the globe invest significantly in the development and acquisition of more capable weapon systems to strengthen their defence forces and meet the new threats of 21st century warfare.
As these threats evolve quickly, a key challenge is to develop capabilities and systems that can be reconfigured and modified quickly. In this context, efficient cooperation among all stakeholders becomes critical.
But speed is not only required at design and manufacturing level. The whole acquisition cycle must be shortened in order to ensure the availability of the systems when needed. Across the Aerospace & Defence industry, rising customer expectations (lower costs, higher standards and increase capabilities) along with growing program complexity make it more challenging to compete.
As systems become more complex to design, build and deliver, OEMs and suppliers need to accelerate innovation, drive efficiencies and move to the factory of the future to allow for greater agility on production rate. This requires a new way to conceptualize, design, manufacture, test, certify and sustain new air and space vehicles.

Industrial Equipment
Digitalize manufacturing to deliver made-to-order innovation.
Industrial equipment comprises the manufacturers of machines, tools, equipment or vehicles that are used to manufacture, extract, harvest or handle another product.
The growing trends of the 4th Industrial Revolution – automation, IoT, artificial intelligence, big data analysis, networked communications, machine learning and cloud computing – mark a significant change in the way we work and how we engage with our customers. These emerging technologies are providing advanced and disruptive Industrial Equipment solutions that support the creation, production and delivery of sophisticated and efficient machinery, equipment and components. Customers want products that are customized to their specific needs, but they don’t want to pay more for it. These high expectations are forcing Industrial Equipment companies to become more flexible and agile to meet increasingly personalized and complex requirements.
The emerging technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution enable manufacturers to connect the needs of the market with the production system. Intelligent digital connectivity empowers manufacturers with the capacity to develop and deliver the product that the customer wants, when they want it, and at a competitive price. Industrial Equipment companies need to break their own silos and empower their people to work together globally and collaboratively. As an agile enterprise you can respond quickly and effectively to changes in market demands and increase the speed of delivery.
Enterprise Agility is the ability to manage enterprise information systems and ecosystem of suppliers and customers in a way to reach full agility. And with one accurate source of information, you can design, sell, manufacture and service from anywhere.
Every minute the machine is running translates into additional revenue. Equipment as a Service offers more effective business operations and a simpler financial model based on pay per use or even better pay per outcome models. This enables OEM customers to replace their high capital expenditures (CAPEX) purchasing model with multi-year service agreements managed as operating expenses (OPEX).
This business transformation puts servicing at the forefront of the industrial equipment product development process. It also aligns OEM and OEM customers’ interests, provides a recurrent revenue flow and offers OEMs a much deeper customer intimacy through real-time operations intelligence.
