DIGITALISATION PET planet Insider Vol. 20 No. 03/19 www.petpla.net 37 pared for the digital age. “People feel nervous and excited at the same time. They hear in the news that robots are going to replace them when digitalis- ing processes, but this is not at all how we see the future. It’s an opportunity to connect our people to our systems to enable breakthrough effectiveness, efficiency, and new capabilities. We are going to invest in our people, and they will benefit from this great opportunity to be well trained for these new types of jobs and to grow in the careers,” says Grove. “The Luxembourg Digital Skills Bridge Programme will help us in this journey to familiarise, train, and up-skill our team members to effectively interact and perform within the new system and to leverage the capabilities of speed, transparency, and flexibility that the NGOM offers .” www.husky.co Partnership with Siemens The Digital Industry Services offered by Siemens are designed to support customers as they work towards customised implementation of the Digital Enterprise, from consult- ing through implementation to data analytics. Industrial Edge is a concept devised by Siemens to enable data processing on the machine level as the optimal complement to cloud computing with the open IoT operating system MindSphere. Users are said to benefit from the integration and flex- ibility the system allows for the analy- sis of data either on the field level or in the cloud. Using digital twins of the prod- uct, the production process and performance, users benefit from shorter engineering and production times, from flexible, fully automated manufacturing concepts and efficient processes. At the same time, this technology provides the assurance of quality and adherence to strict security standards. And in turn, con- nection to MindSphere enables the continuous acquisition and analysis of machine data. This not only ensures increased machine productivity in run- ning operation, but also enables the data gathered to be fed back into the digital machine model, so enabling further optimisation. On the basis of the gathered data, machine builders are also able to develop new services and business models such as “pay per use” concepts. www.siemens.com F.l.t.r.: John Galt, President and CEO Husky, Etienne Schneider, Minister of Econ- omy Luxembourg and Klaus Helmrich, Central Board Member Siemens at Husky’s EMEA headquarters in Dudelange, Luxembourg where the press was introduced to the Next Generation Operating Model (NGOM) program.
