The industry is undergoing a fundamental change: instead of focusing solely on selling products, more and more original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are turning to service-oriented business models - an approach known as servitization. This paradigm shift not only offers advantages for customers, but also opens up completely new growth opportunities for the manufacturers themselves.
From product orientation to the service concept
For OEMs, servitization means integrating their products into comprehensive service offerings. Instead of selling machines and systems on a one-off basis, the focus is on continuous services - such as maintenance, upgrades, monitoring and even full operational responsibility. Business models such as "pay-per-use" (PPU) or "asset-as-a-service" (AaaS) are at the heart of this. These concepts offer customers financial flexibility and a stronger focus on their actual needs.
For OEMs, this offers a number of advantages:
Servitization in response to market requirements
The demand for servitization is driven by various external factors. Customers increasingly expect flexibility and transparency in the use of industrial equipment. At the same time, there is growing pressure on companies to optimize operating costs and implement sustainable solutions. This is where IoT technologies come into play, forming the core of modern servitization strategies.
IoT solutions enable OEMs to network machines, collect real-time data and use it for a wide range of applications - from remote maintenance to increasing productivity. This turns a simple machine into an intelligent solution that creates continuous added value for the customer.
