Twin transformation in mechanical and plant engineering: How digitalization and sustainability together enable new business models and make the industry fit for the future.
The digital transformation in mechanical engineering is also reflected in total IT costs, which have been rising at an average rate of 5% per year faster than sales since 2017.
The General Assembly of VDMA Wireless Communications for Machines took place on May 6/7, 2025 in Frankfurt.
As part of the online event "Generative AI - Identifying potential, seizing opportunities", a survey was conducted among participants on 29.04.25 to obtain an up-to-date picture of the current mood.
The new VDMA white paper uses case studies to show how artificial intelligence is already being used in processes, products and business models.
As one of the world's largest scientific conferences on fluid power, it offers users, manufacturers and scientists an international forum for exchanging experiences on hydraulic and pneumatic drives and systems.
A new study shows: The targeted use of Generative Artificial Intelligence can increase the profit margin in mechanical and plant engineering by up to 10.7 percentage points. This corresponds to an additional profit of 28 billion euros.
