Why the fastest engineering now happens before anything is built

The future of manufacturing competitiveness may depend less on building faster prototypes and more on building better virtual ones. As digital engineering reshapes product development across industry, technologies once associated primarily with elite motorsport are increasingly becoming central to how manufacturers design, test and optimise products long before physical production begins. That trend is reflected […]
Why manufacturers must finally connect design with reality

For years manufacturers have invested heavily in digital transformation programmes designed to connect factories, automate production and improve operational visibility. Yet one of the industry’s most persistent challenges remains largely unresolved: the disconnect between how products and production systems are designed and how they actually perform once they enter the real world. That gap sits […]
Honeywell bets that focused automation is the next phase of industrial transformation

Industrial manufacturers are entering a new phase of digital transformation in which the challenge is no longer simply connecting assets or collecting operational data, but turning industrial automation into increasingly autonomous operations. Against that backdrop, Honeywell has completed one of the most significant corporate restructurings in its history, creating a standalone automation business designed to […]
