THE CHALLENGE
Technology is both driving and enabling dramatic change in what and how embedded and electronic products are developed and manufactured. Advancements in AI/ML, IoT, 5G, data/analytics, AR/VR, open standards, etc. are disrupting product featuresets, user experience, product categories and monetization strategies, not to mention transforming the efficiency of product development itself. And ‘smart manufacturing’ solutions leverage many of these same technologies to achieve dramatic benefits through digital transformation of manufacturing and supply chain.
Capgemini Engineering provides ER&D services and solutions to help Electronics companies leverage the full benefit of these advanced technologies in both product engineering and manufacturing operations to achieve the business outcomes they value. Our solutions help customers:
- Design, build, protype, analyze and test embedded platforms, subassemblies, and products for end vertical markets
- Industrialize and manufacture products and subassemblies
- Improve quality, productivity, profitability or time to market through operational digitization/transformation
- Extend the revenue-generating life of existing products ─ from factory to field to end of life
- Transform the way customers use and benefit from products and services
