Digital Factory - Definition
Quelle: SiemensPictures Of the Future2/2007
Sourcle: VDI-Arbeitskreis „Digitale Fabrik“
The digital factory is the superordinate concept for a comprehensive network of digital models and methods, amongst others, of the simulation and 3-D-Visualization.
Their purpose is the comprehensive planning, realization, control and continuously improvement of all essential factory processes and factory resources in connection with the product.
The digital factory is no for sale product - but a strategy!

Digital Engineering
Digital Engineering is the universal use of digital methods and tools over the product development and production process and is aimed at an improved planning quality as well as at the process control over the whole product life cycle.
physically correct transformation of all problem relevant characteristics - also of the software-technical qualities (e.g., embedded systems)
Interoperability of the used tools (technically, semantically, organizationally)
Application in interactive experience rooms to the inclusion of the person in the digital chain

Lack of Experts
The branch automobile industry lacks in 2012 about 11,000 engineers
(Pricewater / Coopers, publication on 22.09.2010)
Not only demographic reasons, but: Rising need in specialist knowledge and research capacities on
the basis of innovation offensives (e.g. alternative drives, trend to extend the model range)
Rising research budget of the branch estimated from topically 20.9 billions Euros / year by about 3.4 billions / year within two years
