"More than half of German machine and plant manufacturers expect to lose their technological leadership abroad....53 percent of German machine and plant manufacturers assume that the technology leadership will be taken over by foreign countries in the future or has already been taken over, mainly by competitors from China and the USA....According to their own assessment, seven out of ten companies would be severely or very strongly affected (70 percent)....Around two-thirds intensify or plan cooperation with universities and research institutions (66 percent).The same number wants to focus more on niches in the future, another 14 percent are already strongly focused on niches today....The fact that a majority of mechanical engineers expect the loss of technological leadership would have been considered unthinkable a few years ago....Almost all machine and plant manufacturers surveyed believe that it is likely that Chinese companies will push more strongly into the European market in the coming years (93 percent)."
Por um lado estão a perder a venda de máquinas novas, e a prestação de serviços pós-venda para terceiros digitais:
"29 percent of machine and plant manufacturers also report significant or limited financial disadvantages because maintenance and support services are increasingly being taken over by third-party providers - for example through the use of artificial intelligence, automation or digital platforms."
Isto faz-me recuar a 1988 e ao meu primeiro contacto com uma empresa alemã (muito bons tecnicamente, mas avessos à mínima customização), e agora perceber que a competição deixou de ser tecnológica e passou a ser sistémica. Não é apenas China vs Alemanha.
É (Hardware + Software + Plataforma + Modelo de serviço) contra Excelência técnica isolada.
Quem controla o ecossistema (dados, software, manutenção, financiamento, modelo comercial) controla a rentabilidade futura.
