Adoption of cloud spans all major engineering and manufacturing operations
Adoption of cloud spans all major engineering and manufacturing operations

With the onset of the pandemic, enterprises have realized the need for seamless remote collaboration and faster time to market. As a result, the global cloud market for engineering and manufacturing operations continues to grow.  

Post pandemic, many engineering functions have adopted cloud and those with higher computing and collaboration are moving faster to cloud.

Product design and development activities require collaboration among internal and external teams, real time change requests, and feedback from multiple stakeholders. Therefore, a natural shift of these activities can be witnessed.

Under product design and development, specifically product simulation and design systems have higher cloud adoption. Product simulation requires high performance computing to run different scenarios, and with the cloud offering high computing and calculation processing capabilities, these demands are addressed. Consequently, design systems such as CAD, CAM, and CAE have heavy workloads, requiring higher computing and GPU, thereby signalling a natural adoption of cloud.

Manufacturing operations, on the other hand, require integration of IT and OT systems. Therefore, we witness lower cloud adoption rates. Enterprises are reluctant to adopt the cloud for these operations because of security concerns and integration challenges. The adoption of the cloud for pure play operating systems, such as MES and SCADA, is the lowest compared to all other applications. However, the adoption of the cloud for PLM systems is the highest compared to all other applications because these systems are complex and costly to manage on premises.

While the journey has started for cloud adoption for engineering and manufacturing activities, and the reluctance to move to cloud is fast fading away, yet a lot of headway has to be made before organisations can truly unlock the full potential of cloud for their industries.
