Engineering simulation and success in IoT product design

Authored by Raghu (Jayaraman) Raghuraman, Senior Vice President, Digital Engineering & Technical Debt at Schneider Electric.

It takes time, precision, and dedication to create a reliable and robust IoT solution that would satisfy very specific requirements of industrial customers. As you can read in the blog of my product design colleagues, one of the best practices to create accurate and high quality IoT products is to involve customers from early design stage to implementation phase. Fortunately, the prototyping process that could last up to 12 months can now be shortened to 3 months thanks to the advances in digital technology we are implementing through engineering simulation.

Leading the digital transformation in energy management and industrial automation for our customers and partners, we aim to deliver solutions that meet the most exigent requirements throughout the lifecycle of our products – from power plants to CPG factories. In this blog, I reflect on the major drivers and success factors of engineering simulation in industrial environment.
