Strategic use of digital twins – thinking in terms of processes and standardization makes transformation manageable

Digital twins can be abstract, highly complex, and technologically impressive. However, they are only genuinely useful if properly integrated into companies and processes. And this is exactly where the biggest challenge for our customers lies too, because first they have to ask themselves: "What do I really need to be more effective and efficient in my business processes?"

And this is exactly where we come in. We rethink customer needs and provide a clearly structured solution with our data-centric and model-based platform Engineering Base. Industry standards and best practices are our key to success here.

By structuring our platform to be both flexible and modular, our customers can simply adopt proven process steps one by one or also tailor the platform to their own specific requirements. In this way, we ensure clear orientation and certainty. 
It is important here to always get the customer on board and plainly demonstrate that standardized process modules not only "fit", but are more efficient in the long term, easier to maintain and thus also more scalable.

Not every function is appropriate for every market, so we perform a focused analysis of market potential and define suitable use cases: which wizards and modules create real added value in which industry? 

This classification is extremely important for successfully executing the digital transformation. Indeed, this can only be achieved if implemented in a targeted, economical and practical manner. The clear classification based on use cases ensures that projects remain manageable and that companies get exactly the functions they really need. Our platform approach means that further use cases can also be added at any time.

AUCOTEC and Engineering Base offer the additional advantage of long-standing partnerships. Our data-centric digital twin can be flexibly expanded and is open for partner solutions as well as integration with 3D, ERP and other specialized applications.

Rather than being an add-on, these partnerships form a strategic core element. They expand the usability of our platform, increase market reach, and make it possible to supply tailor-made complete solutions to customers – all without abandoning the single source of truth approach.

Our ambition is clear: we are positioning ourselves as a platform provider for digital twins with industry-specific use cases that drive digital transformation – with maximum consistency from the engineering stage right through to operation, maintenance and possible modifications. We are creating the basis for sustainable success with our strategic standardization, a modular approach and a clear understanding of our markets and the ways in which our focus industries work.

Digital twins are not an end in themselves. When deployed correctly, however, they become a solid foundation for efficiency, transparency and enduring competitiveness.
