It’s no secret that over the last 20 years our daily lives have been massively transformed by the internet. The same can’t be said for intelligent industrial systems, but this is now rapidly progressing.

On Dassault Systèmes’ LinkedIn community, Future Realities we asked our members to submit questions about how the internet is changing industry. WSJ Custom Studios filmed Dassault Systèmes VP of Industrial Equipment, Philippe Bartissol, addressing the top questions.

We invite you to check out the 3 minute video now.  Topics include how manufacturers can quickly create the customized products consumers demand, how data taken directly from industrial equipment can help predict – and therefore avoid – failures and expand the life expectancy of the equipment and how software can introduce flexibility into the manufacturing process.
