The clous briefing of 10.01.2022

Mechanical and plant engineering is growing despite the crisis, remote work and Industry 5.0 are coming... 2022 will be an exciting year in engineering. Claas Blume sorts out and gives an outlook! ✅

First of all, we wish you a happy and healthy new year 2022 and good luck with all your plans! 🎉

1️⃣ Production volume in mechanical and plant engineering in 2021 at almost 219 billion euros, targets not quite achieved due to shortage of materials, among other things (VDMA)
2️⃣ Employment rate stable, but shortage of skilled workers noticeable, companies must develop remote work concepts (VDMA)
3️⃣ Overall positive outlook for 2022 according to Oxford Economics study (Fachzeitung Produktion)
4️⃣ Climate change is on industry's agenda, more and more companies seek certification (Fachzeitung Produktion)
5️⃣ Mechanical engineering must develop e-commerce concepts to pick up the decision-makers of the future (MM MaschinenMarkt)
6️⃣ Remote work has come to stay, not only in software development or marketing, but also in engineering (ASME (The American Society of Mechanical Engineers))
7️⃣ Many companies haven't even adapted Industry 4.0 yet, with Industry 5.0 already coming from trailblazers (konstruktionspraxis)
