Competition in industrial and manufacturing environments is intense, but taking advantage of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things can boost productivity and profitability. To optimize performance, companies should examine their processes and use value-enhancing steps. Comprehensive solutions for optimizing processes in electrical system design are needed, including combined hardware and software solutions, product-related data, and holistic services. Computer-aided engineering (CAE) software will play a larger role in planning and organizing engineering projects, enabling better communication with customers and integration with manufacturing technologies. In the future, CAE software will become more responsive and allow direct communication between plants and machines. Integration of resources will become more important, and a strong, integrated value chain solution will be the standard.
