Biocomputing marks the start to an all-new era of information processing. Instead of silicon chips DNA, proteins, or even living cells assume the role of computing units and storage media.

Digital engineering enables product development with greater speed, precision, and efficiency but a transition from real-world to virtual systems not only calls for new systems but also for rethinking in organizations.

By collaborating with tech giant NVIDIA Schaeffler is opening another chapter of digital progress. For its more than 100 plants worldwide, the motion technology company is planning to create a fully connected virtual ecosystem.

From storage space in data centers to artificial intelligence: More and more products are being offered as cloud services. Data-as-a-Service is not widely known yet although it’s already shortening the downtimes of entire industrial systems.

The need for software keeps growing in line with digitalization. What’s been lacking so far is a simple way in which even employees with no IT experience can write the applications they need for their work. Low Code is designed to close that gap.

Billions of letters and parcels are sent every year. To do this, the deliverers rely on state-of-the-art machines and digital technologies. A look into the gears of global logistics chains.

A modern world without steel is hardly conceivable – but steel without CO₂ emissions is. These are the technologies to achieve change.

Farming feeds the world – and requires increasingly better and, above all, more efficient machines to do so.

8,000 times faster than 5G: From 2030 on, the 6G network is supposed to push open the gates to a new communications universe.

A network of quantum computers would be epochally more powerful and absolutely secure.

On a fast track to becoming an economic superpower: with agile thinking and advanced technology, India might be ranking among the world’s top three economies by 2030.

Downtimes are poison for business. The best strategy to prevent this is a smart early warning system. It’s called condition monitoring.

When business and science successfully work together, hands-on knowledge from the industrial world is combined with academic findings. But how do such university-business partnerships succeed?

Cobots, the smaller siblings of gross-motor industrial robots, are making a name for themselves. The specialists at Schaeffler have found a way to make them perform faster and with greater precision.

Schaeffler’s success story is closely linked to its own production landscapes. Without the equipment from its in-house mechanical engineering department, Schaeffler’s plants would stop operating.

Artificial intelligence, quantum physics and robotics will dramatically change our world this century. Some jobs will disappear while others will emerge. This is what such neo jobs might look like.

First described over 35 years ago, 3D printing is a step-by-step game changer in manufacturing technology. Schaeffler knows what kinds of things already work with additive technology today.
