Research & Development in Industry 4.0

Proper application of R&D in Industry 4.0 can lead to significant cost savings and opportunities. To achieve this, the new opportunities offered by digitization must be used accordingly. The trick here is to design the development process of new products in a cost-efficient and time-critical manner - and that within the development budget. In this way, mutual value creation for digitization and research and development can be achieved. This requires the right professionals and engineers in the field of Industry 4.0 R&D.

Thanks to our many years of experience as a recruitment consultancy in Industry 4.0, BENOMIK provides you with support in R&D. Our continuously developed multi-channel search finds the right candidates matching your requirement profile.

There is no innovation without investment

Industry 4.0 is currently shaking up the research and development (R&D) industry. Manufacturers and suppliers are deploying new technologies to improve efficiency and agility. The goal of Industry 4.0 is to create a fully connected digital smart factory where machines can communicate with each other and make intelligent decisions to optimize production. This transformation is driven by the need for more customization, shorter lead times and improved quality.

To remain competitive, manufacturers need to use Industry 4.0 technologies such as Big Data and analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT), robotics and 3D printing in R&D accordingly. In this way, they can improve their ability to develop new products and bring them to market quickly and efficiently. In addition, Industry 4.0 will help manufacturers in R&D to reduce costs, increase productivity and improve quality control.

The importance of automation for product development

Exciting topics in R&D include systems engineering, V-Modell XT (as the successor to the V-Modell), product cost optimization, modular systems, and the entire product development process. There is enormous potential in these areas of R&D. 

Systems engineering has become increasingly important in R&D as companies develop ever more complex products and systems. Systems engineering is about designing and managing these products and systems as integrated entities with the goal of improving performance while minimizing cost and risk. It involves using a variety of tools and methods, including systems modeling and simulation, to understand the complex interactions between the various elements of a system. This helps ensure that products and systems are designed and built to meet the needs of customers and users while minimizing costs and risks.

Product cost optimization is another area of research and development that is constantly evolving. Automation will play an increasingly important role, as will collaboration and agile methodologies. This includes both the use of automated software tools and the outsourcing of R&D tasks to external service providers. Ultimately, companies are beginning to adopt more agile methods for managing R&D projects. This includes shorter development cycles, more frequent releases and a stronger focus on customer feedback.
