Digitalization Increases the Competitiveness of the Wind Industry

Digitalization Increases the Competitiveness of the Wind Industry

Horst Wildemann
The phase-out of nuclear energy decided by the politicians and the goal of significantly aligning the energy mix with renewable energies will give the industry great growth potential. Digitalization and the resulting technologies, such as sensors, robotics and assistance systems, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and augmented reality, are helping companies realise their potential. The study “Industrialization of the Wind Industry” by the Technical University of Munich has shown that digitalization will have a positive effect on the “Levelized Cost of Energy” (LCOE).

How AR Builds the Bridge Between Man and Machine

How AR Builds the Bridge Between Man and Machine

Mit welchen Funktionen Erweiterte Realität alle Bereiche des Unternehmens verändern wird
Eduard Rüsing
Augmented Reality has the potential to radically change both our private environment and the world of work over the coming years and decades. In a study, Prof. Michael E. Porter (Harvard Business School) and James E. Heppelmann, President and CEO of PTC, examine what Augmented Reality is, which technologies and applications will make them so important in the future, and how AR will be implemented in business practice. For example, augmented reality will change the way we learn, how we make decisions, or interact with the physical environment. But AR is not just another communication channel, but a completely new way to get in touch with people. Augmented reality is intended to bridge the gap between man’s limited mental capacity and receptivity and the ever-growing amount of data and insight that the virtual, digital product world provides.
