Trendsetting in mechanical engineering

Mechanical engineering is a dynamically innovative field that constantly offers new challenges and opportunities. The latest trends in mechanical engineering are:

• Disruptive influences such as the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change or a trade war are affecting both supply chains and the availability of labour. These require greater adaptability and flexibility from machine manufacturers in order to fulfil the expectations of companies and customers
• Intelligent machines that increasingly integrate hardware, software and services to improve performance, efficiency, safety and quality. These include artificial intelligence, machine learning, robotics, sensor technology, cloud computing and big data. These enable better monitoring, control, optimisation and maintenance of machines
• Change in business models that involve the use of Industry 4.0 technologies, such as the Internet of Things, additive manufacturing, digital twins, virtual and augmented reality, etc. These enable greater networking, collaboration, personalisation and sustainability of processes in mechanical engineering

These trends open up new opportunities for innovation and competitive advantages in mechanical engineering, but also require new skills, competences and strategies from mechanical engineers in order to be successful. We can offer you precisely these services.
