Energy & Utilities<\/a> industry. At Siemens, we have the privilege of working closely with industry leaders and people from an extensive range of manufacturing sectors with different degrees of digital maturity. That lets us see what’s working great as well as some things that didn’t go quite as planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWe\u2019re also the software\nbusiness unit within Siemens AG, a mega-enterprise of close to 400,000\ncolleagues that acts as a massive internal customer for our solutions. People\nusually look at us a little differently, knowing that as a global engineering\nand manufacturing organization that relies extensively on our software\nsolutions, we truly have \u201cskin in the game\u201d as our supplier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Much work has been done\nacross the E&U industry to assemble and apply the \u201cdigital twin\u201d of assets,\nprojects and facilities to be more efficient, profitable, and operationally\nexcellent. In this blog, we\u2019ll review examples of excellence in these areas and\nspeak with some of the people who made them happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As far as we\u2019ve already come,\nthe level of innovation and the technologies supporting our digital energy\ntransformation continues to offer exciting new opportunities to improve\neverything we do. The boundary between our physical assets and their digital\ntwins will get even blurrier. The way our knowledge workers interact with\nevolving products, projects and facilities keeps evolving as we overcome the massive\nchallenges facing today\u2019s E&U industry. And with the use of open data\nstandards, IoT, and the cloud, producers can now link equipment sensors on their\nphysical assets to the corresponding digital twin and apply logic to improve\nperformance and reliability in support of operational excellence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Finally, the Energy industry\nis ideally suited to rapidly develop flexible new apps that can be personalized\nto provide insights into our data in the way we wish to experience it. With rapid application development, users are\npulling information from anywhere in their value chain, on any frequency, and applying\nit to do almost anything in a way that doesn\u2019t require a programming\nbackground. Many gaps are going to get\nclosed very quickly in this exciting new area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s a lot to discuss and\neven more to learn. So, let\u2019s kick off this blog series and learn how\ndigitalization can improve our Energy & Utility businesses. Because by\ndoing that, we not only build value for our stakeholders but for society too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
