Companies need to design and build new machines capable of supporting a wider variety of product mixes and more rapid and frequent changeovers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Smart machines<\/strong>: Industrial component suppliers are embracing IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things), and the machinery manufacturers are learning how to take advantage of the massive amounts of data their machines generate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hyperautomation<\/strong>: Electrical and control automation engineers are first to harness all the data and better understand machine behavior and performance to build the next generation of faster, more productive machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Global competition and new business models<\/strong>: This has always existed, but new startups are more flexible and agile. As experienced employees retire, many employers have been forced to replace their workforce with machine learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Industrial machinery manufacturers are facing these challenges head-on with Intelligent Performance Engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All together, these trends add up to one single challenge: complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The companies embracing this complexity will excel in the future because they\u2019ll have a competitive advantage over the competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watch this short webinar clip to find out the three keys to gaining a competitive advantage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls poster=\"https:\/\/blogs.sw.siemens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2022\/01\/Screenshot_Video2.png\"
