Abstract

Industry 4.0 has raised the discussion about the digitalization of industry to a new level. Both product and plant lifecycle management (PLM) are essential when the integrated digitalization of value creation becomes a prerequisite for further development. On the way there, the constraints governing the individual stages of planning and engineering must be overcome, as must also the barriers still found between disciplines and the various technical departments. As both a supplier and a user of Industry 4.0, Siemens faces a particular challenge.
