Daten als zentraler Produktionsfaktor

  • GEWINNUNG VON DATEN
  • Supply Chain – Integrierte Supply Chain über Unternehmensgrenze hinweg, Wertschöpfungsnetzwerke von Endkunden über Lieferanten bis zu Sublieferanten
  • Lager Management – Predictive Inventory Management – Wenn das Lager weiß, was es bald brauchen wird, Just-in-time Delivery
  • IOT in der Produktion – Sensordaten von Produktionsstraßen, Predictive Maintenance für Maschinen
  • Kommunikationskanäle zu Abnehmern und Lieferanten – Menschen, Maschinen

 

  • NUTZUNG VON DATEN
  • Verknüpfung von eigentlichem Produkt und ergänzenden datenbasierten Dienstleistungen zu neuen Angeboten, bspw. Kunde kauft nicht die Maschine, sondern abonniert Produktionskapazitäten, Manufacturing as a Service

 

  • MEHRWERTE VON DATEN
  • Neue Geschäftsfelder (den Nutzen zeitlich begrenzt zur Verfügung stellen anstatt das Produkt selbst zu verkaufen)
  • Höhere Kundenbindung, geringerer Wettbewerb durch ergänzende Mehrwerte
  • Weniger Ausfallzeiten durch rechtzeitige ermeidung von Fehlern, Störungen
  • Geringere Umrüstzeiten durch adaptive Produktionsplanung
  • Weniger Lagerhaltung durch vorausschauende Planung und real time Überwachung der vorgelagerten Wertschöpfungsstufen
  • Bessere Kundendienst durch real time Überwachung der Produktleistung (B2B vs. B2C)
  • Kürzere Innovationszyklen durch digitale Prototypen

Digital (R)evolution

  • GENERATING DATA
  • Supply Chain – Integrated supply chain extending beyond company boundaries, value-added networks from end customers and suppliers all the way to subcontractors
  • Inventory Management – Predictive inventory management; when the warehouse can predict its short-term needs, just-in-time delivery
  • IoT in the Production Area – Sensor data from production lines, predictive maintenance for machines
  • Communication Channels to Customers and Suppliers – People, machines

 

  • USING DATA
  • Link the core product and supplementary data-driven services to generate and offer innovative solutions, for example, customers lease production capacities instead of purchasing machines, manufacturing as a service

 

  • ADDING VALUE WITH DATA
  • New business opportunities (delivering a benefit for a limited time period instead of selling the physical product)
  • Increase customer loyalty and reduce competition by providing complimentary added value
  • Reduce downtime via timely prevention of errors or malfunctions
  • Shorter changeover times are driven by adaptive production planning
  • Reduced inventory levels with predictive planning and real-time monitoring of upstream value-added steps
  • Enhanced customer service is driven by real-time monitoring of product performance (B2B vs. B2C)
  • Shorter innovation cycles using digital prototypes

The Future of Business Applications

New technologies are accelerating the pace of business, but existing business and IT approaches lag behind. Companies need to fundamentally redefine the business of applications.

Every business is a technology business, and applications reside at the core (and edge) of every organization. Business models, customer demands, and the competitive landscape are all undergoing significant change, requiring application leaders to take a new approach for developing and delivering their application strategy to meet business goals.

Join Us for this exclusive event as we focus our discussions on the strategy, architectures, people and culture changes required to embed application capabilities into the DNA of your business.

The Future of Blockchain in Business

The confusion surrounding blockchain makes it difficult to understand blockchain’s benefits for businesses and governments. Given the speculation surrounding cryptocurrencies, some do not realize blockchain’s true potential to create value. As a result, most organizations risk falling prey to “blockchain washing” from vendors and digital giants.

Companies that are most likely to benefit from blockchain are those that need transparent and clear transactions, are looking to move away from paper-based legacy storage systems, and/or transmit high volumes of information.6 To keep up with this rapidly-evolving technology, you need to familiarise yourself with blockchain policy in order to understand its effects on business and the future of marketplaces and economies.

By 2020, it is predicted blockchain networks will be used in increasing numbers of large organisations, with at least a quarter of companies on Forbes’ Global 2000 list utilising blockchain services at scale.

Their blockchain solutions could become Trojan horses that lock in an unsuspecting company while exposing their data and competitive advantage.

Data-Driven Digital Transformation

IDC defines digital transformation (DX) as a set of practices that leverage new business, technology, and operating models to disrupt rivals and markets in pursuit of business performance and growth.  Successful DX relies on converting data into actionable insights, and this reliance on data is contributing to a new era of the data age.

IDC forecasts that by 2025 the global “datasphere” will grow to 163 zettabytes (that’s one trillion gigabytes).  All this data will unlock unique user experiences and a new world of opportunities.

Organizations that embrace data-driven DX are servicing consumers better, solving problems faster and finding new insights, we refer to these as ‘Data Thrivers’.

Successful businesses recognize the importance of Data and Digital Transformation.

Their IT leaders must meet the challenges of building a data-centric organization with limited time, skills, and budget while managing data that is increasingly distributed, dynamic, and diverse.

For many organizations, the rush to the cloud has resulted in data silos that make it impossible to fully leverage and control data.

Accelerate your Digital Transformation with Electronic Signatures

Many financial services and insurance companies have automated the vast majority of their key processes and customer experiences.  However, the “last mile” of most transactions – completing the agreement – far too often relies on the same inefficient pen-and-paper processes of yesterday.

 

Digitizing agreements using electronic signatures lets you keep processes digital from end to end, which helps you increase revenue, save time and reduce costs.

 

No more printing, signing, scanning contracts or agreements – you and your customers can approve or sign from anywhere at any time and from any device.

La Trasformazione Digitale per le Aziende di Home Decor con Centric PLM

Per alcune aziende di home decor, di interior design o di mobili, la trasformazione digitale è un modo per avvicinarsi ai consumatori, per altre significa promuovere l’innovazione o accelerare il time to market ed essere così i n linea con le tendenze del mercato. In entrambi i casi,
il cambiamento nel processo organizzativo associato a tecnologie moderne, proprio come il PLM, può introdurre modalità di lavoro più semplici.

Il PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) è la tecnologia portante che guida tutte le attività correlate allo sviluppo del prodotto – dal concept al retail – consentendo la trasformazione digitale di brand di ogni dimensione.

Design & Sustainability with Centric Software

For some companies, Digital Transformation is a way to get closer to consumers, for others it means pushing innovation or speeding time to market in order to stay closer to trend. In any case, organizational process change paired with modern technologies like PLM, mobility, cloud & SaaS can facilitate different ways of working.

 

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is the backbone technology that drives all product-related activities from concept to retail, enabling digital transformation for brands, retailers and manufacturers.
