The next generation of design requires that industries adopt a forward-thinking, futuristic approach. We have to think not only about what could make existing machines better and faster, but also about how systems and processes could be streamlined and how efficiency can be increased. Forward-thinking is increasingly important in the digital age. Digitalization allows us to put our ideas into action through digital twins. We don’t have to commit to costly hardware because we’re able to take digital test drives before we buy.

Today I’m talking to Scott Felber, a Product Engineering Software Marketing Manager with Siemens Digital Industries Software. His role is to help customers understand how NX software can be utilized in the vast world of industrial machinery.

In this episode, Scott explains how interdisciplinary collaboration during the digital design process can ensure that the machinery of the future works for everyone. We’ll also talk about how the digital twin can catch potential crashes virtually, saving time and money.

Keeping costs down and increasing efficiency are important to customers operating within industrial manufacturing. The digital design phase is key in achieving these goals, saving time and money not only when a machine is physically operating on the floor, but throughout the design process as well.
