Today’s customers have increasingly individual needs. Manufacturers must therefore
produce fast and flexibly while keeping a lid on their costs. Focusing on the
example of the VW Tiguan, on show at the 2008 Hannover Messe, Pictures of the
Future reports how this can be achieved by combining virtual and real manufacturing.
Also read about how Siemens is able to provide complete customized solutions — along
with suitable financing models — for airports, hotels, hospitals, and even entire
city districts, such as in London. Software is also becoming increasingly customized
in areas ranging from enhanced border security and detection of tax fraud to billing
for electricity by the second. Also, Prof. Günther Schuh of RWTH Aachen University
explains in an interview why the days of traditional mass production are numbered.
