Businesses, especially those with frontline workers, can reap substantial benefits from integrating augmented reality into their daily operations. This integration leads to remarkable gains in efficiency, enhanced productivity, and greater safety for workers.  Today, Brendan Conley is joined by Alfredo Patron, Jason Hawker from TeamViewer, and John Nixon from Siemens Digital Industries Software. They discuss the partnership between Siemens and TeamViewer, focusing on how digital...

The transformational journey in the energy sector, particularly technologies like the cloud, Internet of Things (IoT), and analytics, is changing the landscape causing an urgent need for digital transformation and efficiency in the energy sector. Failure to adapt and evolve could significantly delay the global transition to cleaner energy solutions, a delay the world cannot afford. Today, Brendan Conley is joined by Steve Boerman from SAP and John Nixon from Siemens. They will share a...

Over the years we have developed many new technologies that allow us to generate energy from a range of renewable and non-renewable sources, but each option comes with its own challenges. Ultimately, everything we do has an impact on the environment, and perhaps the future of the energy industry lies in a combination of energy sources. Today, Brendan Conley is joined by John Nixon, the Global Lead for Strategy and Energy Chemicals and Infrastructure, and John Lusty, the Portfolio Development...

As the energy industry continues to evolve, it is essential to leverage digital technologies to gain efficiencies, reduce risk, and become good stewards of resources. The Siemens and SAP partnership is an excellent example of how collaboration and innovation can drive value for customers and lay the foundation for a sustainable future. In this episode, Brendan Conley is joined by Steve Boerman from SAP and John Nixon from Siemens. They will provide valuable insights into the challenges faced...

The shift towards sustainability, driven by digitalization and the adoption of ESG principles, is a significant global transformation that warrants further exploration and discussion. The impact of recent events, like the unexpected consequences for Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), has led to a shift in thinking around ESG and sustainability. With chemical sales expected to grow, process intensification and a focus on efficiency will be necessary to address issues around energy consumption and...

The energy industry has lagged behind in terms of digitization for many decades now. The silver lining to this is that they can now learn and benefit from digitalization and system engineering approaches from other industries. This minimizes their digital migration risks because they can also bring in people who are already experienced to implement the new methodologies. In this fourth and last episode, John Nixon of Siemens Digital Industries Software is joined by John Lusty, the Industry...

The need for custom software in the energy industry has drastically slowed down acquisitions of off-the-shelve software. Companies want solutions that can be used to build multiple custom applications fast and at a lower cost. They also want solutions that raise the team’s morale by simplifying automation and enabling the development of applications that are user-friendly. In this third of four episodes, John Nixon of Siemens Digital Industries Software is joined by John Lusty, the Industry...

In large projects, the number of individual requirements/specifications can be overwhelming when considered side-by-side with the design. It can easily lead to the design team accidentally skipping some of them as they are already dealing with a large amount of data. This challenge can be solved by integrating those requirements into the design tools to make sure that the product taking up your resources comes out as required. In this second of four episodes, John Nixon of Siemens Digital...

When you want to get maximum value from an asset, it's not enough to just design, build and install it. You need to also collect all the data showing its performance in operation as well as keep a record of any repairs and adjustments. Siemens Digital Lifecycle Excellence helps you do that by paving the road for efficient data collection, processing, and analysis from the design stage to the eventual decommissioning. In this first of four episodes, John Nixon of  Siemens Digital Industries...
