German component manufacturers have always been able to maintain a technological edge to defend their market position and justify premium prices. The international competition \u2013 in particular from the Far East \u2013 is, however, gaining ground technologically. The race is costing a great deal of energy: While the shorter innovation cycles result in spiralling costs, the competition in Asia benefits from the lower personnel and energy costs and puts pressure on prices.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-433c9b76 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"433c9b76\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3d5d2ac8\" data-id=\"3d5d2ac8\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7433d0f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7433d0f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>One solution chosen by many European manufacturers is the systems business. Here, they rely on a strength that is difficult to copy, namely the solution expertise of their staff. Instead of simply selling components, they carefully analyse their customers\u2019 processes and design appropriate solutions. Their own components are combined with those of other suppliers along with software and services to form systems. This type of system is more valuable to the customer than the sum of its individual parts, because it specifically addresses the customer\u2018s problem and is supplied fully-integrated from a single source. The task of integration is performed for the customer, who no longer requires the necessary expertise \u2013 a significant cost-saving factor. Customers also benefit more quickly from the innovations of their suppliers: New developments that do not affect the system\u2019s interfaces can be easily integrated.<\/p>\n<p>The selling of systems is a successful strategy. The VDMA\/McKinsey study \u201cThe future of German mechanical engineering\u201d indicates that solution providers show stronger growth than pure component manufacturers. The demand for system solutions is increasing and competitive pressure is lower. Another advantage is the stronger customer loyalty in the systems business compared to simply selling components.<\/p>\n<h2>Case studies: BOGE compressors and Lenze<\/h2>\n<p>Boge, a manufacturer of high-quality compressors and compressed air systems, realised this at an early stage. Several years ago the company built up its systems business in six strategic areas. Boge provides effective solutions for various industries, from simple blow air to completely dry, oil-free sterile compressed air for pharmaceuticals and food processing. Hardware components (such as the compressor, the air-processing equipment and the necessary transport and supply pipes) are combined with the appropriate control software and a service offering, tailored to the specific industry. The result is a highly-specialised solution for each customer. \u201cThe solutions in the strategic areas are highly valued by the users. The systems business generates strong customer relations with a high level of loyalty\u201d reports Matthias Eichler, Head of Branding at Boge.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-32618ea zitat-box elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"32618ea\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-199dd07\" data-id=\"199dd07\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7eb8ce1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7eb8ce1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;The systems business generates strong customer relations with a high level of loyalty&#8221;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2351b11 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2351b11\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b068f7b\" data-id=\"b068f7b\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd9757c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fd9757c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Lenze, a global specialist in drive and automation technology, also utilises its solution expertise to create added value for its customers, building on its over 65 years\u2018 experience in motion control.

This is particularly attractive for medium-sized mechanical and plant engineering companies.<\/p>\n<h2>How to make the solution business profitable<\/h2>\n<p>Any company that aims to provide comprehensive support for the customer and supply perfect individual solutions is faced with the same risk that mechanical and plant engineers know only too well: getting too wrapped up in special features and thus creating solutions that are too expensive. This explains why the systems business has up to now been less profitable on average than the component business, as shown in the aforementioned McKinsey study. To make a profit in the systems business there are two important prerequisites:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: The component kit is developed into a system kit<br \/><strong>Step 2<\/strong>: Sales is expanded into system sales<\/p>\n<h2>Step 1: Turning the component kit into a modular system<\/h2>\n<p>The first step involves expanding the component kit. What is already usually standard for the physical components, now also applies for services and software. Companies\u2018 offerings are being standardised in such a way that you can configure them and combine them on a modular basis to create a system solution. Lenze has already taken this step. Realizing that software is just as important as hardware when creating a solution for a motion task, Lenze provides its customers with standardised software modules for the development of a machine control system. The software modules represent the basic functions of a machine, including, for example, modules for material supply, transportation, longitudinal and cross sealing, and cross-cutting. \u201cBy (re-) using already-tested models, it is possible to cut costs, reduce errors and save time all at once. The customer then has more time to concentrate on the essentials of their machine\u201d, explains Olaf G\u00f6tz.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: Transforming the sales department into a systems sales organisation<\/h2>\n<p>In the second step, the sales department is developed in such a way that it is able to use the modular system to create effective solutions. To do this, the sales organisation requires comprehensive know-how. The staff need to know the modular system thoroughly, and be able to use it to develop the desired customer solutions.<\/p>\n<p>To maintain a consistently high standard of quality in a systems sales organisation, this knowledge has to be available in a configuration software.<\/p>\n<p>A vital prerequisite for this is that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.encoway.de\/en\/products\/\">configuration software<\/a> is suitable for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.encoway.de\/en\/blog\/how-component-manufacturers-can-build-a-system-configuration-in-3-easy-steps\/\">system configuration<\/a>. Unfortunately, this is where many conventional configuration solutions reveal their limitations. While it is sometimes still possible to support a pure component sales department with simple Excel sheets, an in-house development or an ERP-based configurator, a systems sales organisation requires a professional configuration solution. It is important that this solution allows the development of a system model that records the requirements of the overall system and, via parameters, reflects these in the configuration of the individual components. This ensures that the individual modules fit together and are designed to optimise the overall system.<\/p>\n<p>One practical example is the configuration solution <a href=\"https:\/\/www.encoway.de\/en\/references\/lenze\/\">Drive Solution Designer (DSD<\/a>) from Lenze. Using the DSD, the sales department and also the Lenze customers are able to design complete drive solutions. In DSD the drive solution is modelled as a complete system, so the configurator supports the whole drive dimensioning. This also applies, for example, for the energy consumption, and DSD is thus able to create an Energy Performance Certificate for the entire solution.<\/p>\n<p>Lenze plans to make the models even more complete. Olaf G\u00f6tz reports: \u201cThe DSD already provides indispensable support for the compilation of drive solutions from drive components. The next logical step will be to include the software from our component kit in the configuration solution\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Lenze is thus in line with Boge: \u201cEspecially in the systems business, it is important for us to offer solutions from a modular system. Our configurator supports the sales department in doing so\u201d explains Matthias Eichler. This is because the systems business requires a systems sales organisation. A company that equips its sales department with professional tools has the best opportunities not only for growth in the systems business but also of remaining profitable in this sector.<\/p>\n<p><a
