At the end of June, over 1800 innovators and digital transformation professionals will meet in Amsterdam for Realize LIVE Europe. As you browse through the session catalogue, it’s clear why Realize LIVE Europe will be buzzing, as over 300 companies share how they are truly transforming their operations with the power of digitalization. The future of engineering and manufacturing isn’t just about cool tech – it’s about tangible results: boosting productivity, saving precious time, cutting costs, and driving innovation.

We’ve sifted through the wealth of sessions to bring you our top five takeaways, directly inspired by the successes and insights that will be shared by our customers and partners. Let’s dive into how these real-world applications are making a difference.

Insight #1. Unleashing design and manufacturing productivity with Industrial AI and advanced tools

Imagine accelerating your design processes by leaps and bounds, or slashing programming time for manufacturing. Our customers at Realize LIVE Europe will show you how they’re doing just that, leveraging Industrial AI and intelligent design tools to supercharge their teams’ output.

• H2 Core Systems GmbH will share their incredible journey, revealing how they’ve achieved a 50% reduction in production time and 20% faster design and customization cycles for their hydrogen energy systems.
• L&L Products Europe SAS will demonstrate how integrating PhysicsAI and multi-physics simulation transformed their structural product development. They highlighted that using Python scripts in Hypermesh alone cut complex manipulations from hours to mere minutes, saving a full CAE resource on initial evaluation loops. That’s a huge win for efficiency.
• ASELSAN will showcase how they are revolutionizing design efficiency through the implementation of 3D shape search for accelerated innovation, leading to faster product development cycles.
• Denso Corporation will share their journey to reduce mold work man-hours through digital innovation with NX, demonstrating significant productivity gains in manufacturing.

These examples clearly illustrate how smart tools aren’t just making work easier; they’re making it dramatically faster and more effective.

Insight #2. Reclaiming time: Reducing development and operational cycles

Time is money, and at Realize LIVE Europe, we share countless examples of how companies are reclaiming valuable hours and days through streamlined digital workflows. From simulation to product release, every moment saved contributes to a competitive edge.

• VALEO share their success in EV thermal management, where system simulation tools helped them reduce simulation time by 50%. This kind of speed is crucial in rapidly evolving industries like electric vehicles.
• ASML will discuss how they are accelerating system design with high-fidelity Simcenter Amesim network modeling, enabling faster development of complex machinery.
• DAF Trucks will present their introduction of Teamcenter Easy Plan, streamlining their planning processes and reclaiming valuable time in product development.
• Canon Production Printing will demonstrate how they moved from PowerPoint slides to smart work instructions, using Teamcenter-driven authoring with RapidAuthor to accelerate their documentation process.

Insight #3. Smart savings: Driving down costs and boosting your bottom line.

Who doesn’t love saving money? Realize LIVE Europe sessions were packed with insights into how digital transformation isn’t just about efficiency; it’s about significant cost reductions and a stronger return on investment.

• Rolls-Royce present an adjoint-based optimization workflow that achieved a reduction in pressure losses more than 20% for fuel spray nozzles. While technical, this directly translates to more efficient engines and lower operational costs over time.
• Surf Loch LLC will make waves by demonstrating how digital solutions helped them achieve an energy reduction of up to 20% by coupling data from Insights Hub with operational software updates. Lower energy consumption means significant cost savings and a greener footprint!
• R&D CFD highlight the immense financial benefits of 3D-CFD simulation for biomass gasifiers, noting a “massive reduction of costs for physical prototyping and testing.” This virtual validation approach means fewer physical iterations and much lower development expenses.
• XPLM showcase how their next-gen integrations to PLM resulted in an “up to 90% reduction in manual effort through end-to-end automation.” Less manual effort directly translates to lower labor costs and fewer errors.
• Alfa Laval will share their strategies for unlocking PLM success, focusing on proven strategies for scalable transformation that lead to significant cost efficiencies.

Insight #4. Elevating quality and reliability: Building better products, faster.

Quality is non-negotiable, and the sessions at Realize LIVE Europe underscore how digital solutions are instrumental in achieving higher product quality, reducing errors, and ensuring robust reliability throughout the product lifecycle.

• HELLER Services GmbH showcase the power of the Digital Twin, demonstrating how leveraging NX machine-based simulation with SINUMERIK One CNC can achieve an accuracy of 98% or better in estimating machine runtime. This precision means fewer errors and higher quality outputs on the shop floor.
• H3 Dynamics share their rigorous methodology for ejector design for hydrogen fuel cell recirculation, achieving an impressive <5% error in ejector performance prediction. This level of accuracy is critical for safety and efficiency in aviation applications.
• Schaeffler AG present their Shopfloor Management app, which integrates PUL, CIP, and PDCA methodologies. They reported a 10% improvement in first-pass quality rates, showing how structured digital processes directly lead to better outcomes.
• Pilatus Aircraft Ltd will discuss the successful deployment of Simcenter3D “margin of safety” in airframe structural analysis, enhancing the reliability and safety of their aircraft.

Insight #5. Pioneering sustainability and innovation for a brighter tomorrow.

Beyond the immediate gains, Realize LIVE Europe is also focused on a future driven by sustainable practices and continuous innovation. Companies are using the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio to not only optimize their current operations but also to build a more resilient and inventive future.

• Envetec Sustainable Technologies present a truly inspiring case study, showing how they leverage Insights Hub to achieve a 90% reduction in Scope 3 Emissions for biohazardous waste cycles and over 70% reduction in water usage. This is a powerful example of digitalization enabling a circular economy in healthcare.
• H3 Dynamics is at the forefront of decarbonizing the aviation industry, using advanced solutions to develop hydrogen fuel cell propulsion systems. Their work showcases how digital tools are essential for tackling grand challenges and creating sustainable alternatives.
• Leica Geosystems AG will explore the critical question: “What if sustainability were the first design decision?” offering a practical perspective on integrating sustainability early in the design process.
• Total Energies will discuss how they are accelerating continuous improvement with generative AI, leveraging the Insights Hub Production Copilot to drive sustainable practices.
