Collaborative Engineering
Collaborative engineering refers to an approach to product development in which various stakeholders—often from different disciplines and across multiple locations—work together to develop a product. The goal is to enhance efficiency, quality, and innovation in the development process through close collaboration.
Sustainability
Sustainability in the manufacturing industry refers to a company’s ability to operate successfully while also fulfilling its environmental and social responsibilities. This particularly involves the prudent use of resources, the reduction of emissions, and the extension of product lifecycles.

Digital twin
A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical product or system that digitally replicates its properties, states, and behavior. In this context, the DPP (Digital Product Passport) describes structured digital product data across the entire lifecycle, while the AAS (Asset Administration Shell) serves as a standardized container for managing and exchanging this digital information in an interoperable manner.
Supply Chain Management
Supply Chain Management in Cross-Organizational Value Networks refers to the holistic planning, control, and optimization of all material, information, and financial flows across the entire supply chain—from raw material suppliers to end customers. In such an environment, the supply chain is highly complex, globally distributed, and dynamic, which is why traditional SCM approaches often reach their limits.
Service-oriented value creation
In an industrial context, service-oriented value creation refers to the expansion of traditional business models through additional digital offerings and data-driven services. The goal is to increase productivity in then thetrplants of the manufacturing manufacturing sustainably increase, optimize processes along the entire value chain, and enable the supplier industry to adopt new, scalable digital business models enable.
