This presentation was made at the NAFEMS UK Seminar "The Impact of Digitisation on Engineering and Manufacturing Simulation".

The impact of digitisation on all aspects of engineering is rapidly increasing. The new digital technologies and methods are changing the engineering processes in planning, design and building phases. Engineering is becoming more and more data-driven as a result of the technological developments in IoT, communications, controls, computing, mathematical & statistical methods. Faster innovation and adoption of digitisation therefore requires research and development across the full data lifecycle, from sensors and communications, through to controls and informatics.
