FAQs

Digital engineering is an approach to engineering that uses digital technologies to design, develop and manage systems throughout their entire lifecycle. It integrates various digital engineering services and tools, such as computer modeling, simulation, data analytics and digital twins, to improve the efficiency, accuracy and collaboration in the engineering process. These digital engineering solutions enable faster, more integrated workflows that support innovation and reduce time to market. Organisations can gain significant value by adopting digital engineering services that align to their long-term business and technology strategies.

There are many real-world examples of digital engineering, but one common example is the use of a digital twin when building a new product or solution. A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical object, system or process that is used to simulate, monitor and optimise its real-world counterpart. This form of digital engineering solution pulls data from various sources to create a dynamic model that mirrors the real-world entity in real-time and can be applied to various industries to enhance design, operation and maintenance processes. These digital engineering solutions help reduce risk and optimise system performance before anything is physically built.

Digital engineering can provide numerous business benefits, including enhancing efficiency, reducing costs and driving innovation. Here are just some of the benefits of digital engineering for businesses:

Improved product development: A faster and more accurate design process through modelling and simulation tools, plus less need for physical prototypes, reduces the time to develop new products.

Enhanced efficiency and productivity: By automating and streamlining processes, manual effort and errors are reduced.

Cost reduction: By identifying potential issues early in the design stage, costs associated with physical prototypes, testing and reworking are avoided. Predictive maintenance can also decrease downtime and extend the lifespan of assets.

Sustainability and environmental impact: By optimising resource usage and energy consumption, businesses can achieve their sustainability goals and reduce their carbon footprint.

These are just a few of the measurable benefits of digital engineering for modern organisations

A digital engineering services specialist provides a range of offerings leveraging digital tools and methodologies to enhance the design, development and management of systems and products, ultimately leading to better outcomes and competitive advantages. These digital engineering solutions include digital twin development and management, simulation and virtual testing, data analytics and insights, automation and process optimisation, lifecycle management, software development and customisation, and system integration.
