Industry in transition

What are the current challenges in mechanical and plant engineering?

The industry is facing profound structural change. Global trade conflicts, increasing competition from Asia, volatile sales markets and a noticeable shortage of skilled workers are putting traditional business models under pressure. Added to this are geopolitical uncertainties, a weak investment climate and increasing regulatory requirements, e.g. in the areas of ESG, export controls and product safety. At the same time, digitalization, sustainability and servitization are driving demand for innovative, flexible and networked machine solutions.

Strategies for the future

What is the current need for adjustment and optimization?

Companies in the mechanical and plant engineering sector must consistently reposition themselves – technologically, structurally and strategically:

Accelerate innovation and development processes:
Shorter product cycles, modular platform strategies, simulation technologies and software expertise are decisive factors in differentiating ourselves from the global competition.
Making production systems more flexible:
In times of volatile markets and increasingly individual customer requirements, adaptable production structures, digitally controlled value streams and end-to-end automation (Industry 4.0) are needed.
Professionalize aftermarket and service:
Predictive maintenance, digital service platforms, remote services and spare parts strategies are becoming increasingly important as high-margin business areas.
Re-evaluate international positioning:
Supply chains must be trimmed for resilience, global production and distribution networks must be managed in a differentiated manner and local value creation must be established in strategically important markets.
Strengthen cost and results orientation:
From engineering to assembly, significant efficiency potential can be leveraged – through lean methods, cross-functional cost programs and transparent control mechanisms.
