It seems every business sector – automotive, aerospace and defence, heavy industry, consumer goods, even agriculture – wants “smarter” products that will be part of the Internet of things (IOT) and form the basis for connected factories of the future. For engineering departments large and small, that means today’s design engineering teams are being asked to create more complex product designs, simulate more advanced mechanical and electrical phenomena, and virtually assemble components as part of larger systems – all in less time.
Professional workstations not only allow design engineers to meet product development deadlines, they relieve bottlenecks in the IT department and contribute to the company’s bottom line via lower total cost of ownership and by providing a competitive advantage.
This white paper examines the return on investment of professional workstations for design engineering work as opposed to standard personal computers from three perspectives: the design engineer, the IT professional and executive management. All three have a stake in the investment.
