Abstract
Special machinery engineering is of great importance to the manufacturing industry and makes a comparatively large contribution to many economies. Digital transformation is already well advanced in many producing industries, and modern ICT technologies such as agents, service orientation, digital twins and artificial intelligence are being used with increasing success. In addition to improving specific product characteristics such as reliability or flexibility, the adoption of modern ICT technologies to ensure sustainability is being intensively discussed. So far, however, there has been little uptake of these technologies in the special machinery industry; sustainability receives little attention. This article examines in detail the reasons for and impediments to the adoption of modern ICT technologies based on a study among special machinery manufacturers. Observations of existing challenges were gathered during daily work, described in detail, and used to derive conclusions about causal barriers. From this, detailed requirements are derived to promote the adoption of modern ICT technologies in the special machinery engineering sector and, ultimately, to bring sustainability more into focus.
