Two central demands on manufacturing companies arise from globalized markets:
More speed in all entrepreneurial processes on the one hand and more individual design options for the end customer on the other. Digitization offers the key technologies needed to meet these demands. Information and communication technologies are merging with classic industrial mechanics to form cyber-physical systems. This will require massive changes in product development and production processes.Consumers' need for individual design of their goods is giving rise to completely new product worlds. Digitization opens up interactive meeting spaces between customers and manufacturers. The high speed of software development is driving hardware development in mechanical and plant engineering. In parallel, cheaply produced and quickly available mass products continue to be needed to supply the rapidly growing world population.Companies in the automation industry must be prepared to serve both needs. A major challenge lies in mastering complexity and its dynamics. In this context, the focus is still on people. Robots are used where they relieve humans in their work and form meaningful collaboration teams.
Key competencies as a success factor - people are also at the center of digital transformation.
In order to ideally prepare people for the future here, we see four core competencies as the key to success.
