Digital Transformation by Siemens Digital Industries

The final episode in the current Smart Manufacturing podcast series covers sustainability, a significant global topic across many industries that minimize adverse effects and takes action to contribute to the business and improve the industry's impact on the environment.   Chris Pennington, Global Industry Marketing Leader for Industrial Machinery at Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined by Rahul Garg, the Vice President of the Industrial Machinery and Mid-market Program at Siemens Digital Industries Software. They will help us understand how sustainability is becoming a critical across many industries, including manufacturing. In this episode, you will hear how sustainability in manufacturing includes several factors.    Learn in this episode the following pertinent concepts about sustainability: The energy to run the production process The circularity and recycling of the product and machinery to produce it Recycling of raw materials (bright products) that have value to improve company financials and reduce negative environmental impact A focus on machine design and energy efficiency An improvement in supply chain energy consumption and recycling practices to ensure parts are available. The development of workflows and productivity, supply chain, carbon neutrality, traceability in supply chain and circular economy tracking Creation of energy-efficient machines with lower operating costs Leveraging digitalization to optimize energy-efficient systems Connect with Rahul Garg: LinkedIn Connect with Chris Pennington: LinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

In today’s world, quality is an aspect that is of great significance to regulators and consumers. Manufacturers are expected to deliver high-quality products while still offering competitive prices. That, coupled with supply chain issues, puts a lot of pressure on them. One way to ease that burden is by fine-tuning the manufacturing process using smart machines. Today, the host Chris Pennington, Global Industry Marketing Leader for Industrial Machinery at Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined by Rahul Garg, the Vice President of the Industrial Machinery and Mid-market Program at Siemens Digital Industries Software. He’ll help us understand what closed-loop quality entails. In this episode, you’ll learn about the goal of closed-loop quality and the impact it creates. Additionally, you’ll hear about what is required to implement it and the performance change in companies that have implemented it. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: The importance of integrating quality into the manufacturing process (01:19). The goals of closed-loop quality (02:22) The impact of implementing closed-loop quality (05:15) How deploying advanced technologies results in improved quality (07:32) Closed-loop quality in future factories (11:15) Connect with Rahul Garg: LinkedIn Connect with Chris Pennington: LinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

An unstable supply chain and an increase in customers’ need for custom products are some of the biggest challenges that manufacturers are dealing with today. The increased competition means they cannot afford to raise their products because that might result in a loss in market share. That’s why more focus has now been put on lowering the production cost by making the manufacturing process as efficient as possible. Today, the host Chris Pennington, Global Industry Marketing Leader for Industrial Machinery at Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined by Rahul Garg, the Vice President of the Industrial Machinery and Mid-market Program at Siemens Digital Industries Software. He’ll help us understand what closed-loop manufacturing (CLM) entails. In this episode, you’ll learn the steps involved in CLM and the benefits of deploying it on a factory floor. Additionally, you’ll find out the role played by product lifecycle management (PLM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP). What You’ll Learn in this Episode: A high-level definition of CLM (01:34) The steps involved in CLM (03:41) Roles played by PLM and ERP (04:51) The benefits of linking the production facility and manufacturing engineering to the supply chain (07:01) The impact of deploying a CLM solution in a production facility (11:38) Connect with Rahul Garg: LinkedIn Connect with Chris Pennington: LinkedIn Hosted on Acast.

A key benefit of digitalizing the factory floor is the elimination of data silos. It provides an opportunity for companies to derive actionable insights from data they were already generating. Such actionable insights can help businesses perform predictive maintenance as well as improve operational efficiency. I’m your host, Blake Snodgrass, with Siemens Global Marketing, and today I’m joined by Rahul Garg, Vice President of the Industrial Machinery and Mid-market Program at Siemens Digital Industries Software. He’ll help us understand the different roles played by operation technology and information technology. In this episode, you’ll learn about the current challenges that manufacturers are facing and what they are doing to overcome them. You’ll also find out how IT and OT convergence enables the creation of a digital twin. Additionally, you’ll hear us talk about what the Siemens Industrial Edge Initiative involves. What You’ll Learn in this Episode: The challenges that manufacturers are facing today (01:11) How manufacturers are addressing their current challenges (02:08) The relationship between information technology and operation technology (03:37) The benefits of IT/OT convergence (07:15) Connect with Rahul Garg: LinkedIn Hosted on Acast.
