Cloud-based manufacturing simulation software now more accessible than ever before

By Kelly Gallagher

Process Simulate Collaborate, cloud-based 3D simulation application, is now available on AWS Marketplace.

As digitalization remains top of mind, manufacturers understand the importance of embracing Industry 4.0 technologies so teams can work more efficiently. Whether leveraging IoT, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, augmented reality or digital twin technology, the connected capabilities of a digital factory present a number of opportunities to enhance flexibility and operational performance. 

When considering strategic approaches to boost productivity and connectivity, manufacturers recognize the power of moving to the cloud. Some of the benefits realized by both small and large organizations are improved collaboration, rapid on-boarding, better use of employee time and the shift from capital expenses to operating expenses. With cloud-based access, manufacturers know they can innovate faster, reduce costs, and foster collaboration in a secure environment. 

That is why Siemens was eager to announce its partnership expansion with AWS to facilitate cloud-based digital transformation back in 2021. It was evident even a few years ago that moving to the cloud would help transform manufacturers’ operations as the industry entered a highly anticipated era of digitalization. 

In fact, the number of applications moving to the public cloud is growing at an astounding rate. According to The Public Cloud Market Outlook, 2022 To 2026, Forrester Research reports that the cloud computing market is projected to achieve skyrocketing growth over 220% in just five years. 

The cloud computing market is projected to grow from $446.4 billion in 2022 to $1.03 trillion by 2026.”
