Digital continuity as the foundation
The vision is clear: capture data once and use it across all systems. Standards like the Asset Administration Shell (AAS) create a unified data structure that drives efficiency and transparency. Modular concepts and standardization can significantly reduce investment costs – even in highly regulated sectors like pharma.
AI is transforming engineering and operations
Artificial intelligence is already here: from AI-assisted P&ID creation and complex 3D skid design to intelligent copilots that provide context-based guidance to operators. These solutions accelerate processes and make operations safer and more user-friendly.
The courage to change
Technology alone won’t deliver progress. Companies must be willing to rethink structures and mindsets. Europe has outstanding expertise but often lacks risk tolerance. True progress comes from curiosity and the willingness to explore new paths.
