Digitalization in the Industry
Digitalization as a mega-trend is characterized by the deployment of digital consumer technologies and the related business models. However, digital services also increasingly complement and determine the range of services of industrial companies. They are thereby fueling the so-called fourth industrial revolution. The emerging mobility services introduced by automobile manufacturers, AppStore offerings for sheet metal forming by machine tool suppliers, and software ecosystems launched by sensor manufacturers are some examples. The “smart service world” changes the mechanics of industrial companies' business models, and the established industry boundaries no longer apply. As traditional services prove to be no longer competitive, completely new ranges of services are emerging. The individualization of services as a consequence thereof leads to a dramatically increasing complexity of service provision. With more than 1,205 configuration possibilities for modern mid-range cars, customers expect “batch size 1” at the same costs as mass production.
Industry 4.0 can be considered the future organizational principle of industrial companies. It is characterized by networks of people and machines within the factories and increasing integration across companies, but also implies the usage of all available data and more autonomous value creation systems. For example, in small batch production, the product independently finds its way through production, thus production schedules and sequencing becomes less important.
