From digitalization and the Internet of Things (IoT) to advanced materials, additive manufacturing, power electronics and Artificial Intelligence (AI), we’re focused on what the world and our customers need next. Whether it’s developing new ways to meet growing energy demands or opportunities for more sustainable manufacturing, our goal is to provide customers with safe, sustainable and efficient intelligent power management solutions. And our approach to research and development (R&D), focused on leveraging technology to design solutions that meet the needs of our customers today and into the future, enables us to do just that.
We know that to support evolving market demands, we need to continue to evolve our processes too. We’re improving our manufacturing processes, while strengthening our supply chain and ensuring our teams are equipped with the required skills and knowledge of the latest engineering principles and practices. Our global teams work together to make sure our product portfolio is right for today and ready for the future so our customers can be prepared for whatever lies ahead.
Our approach to building a world class engineering organization centers around complementing our product design engineers across our businesses with experts in data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, digital design and simulation, power electronics, systems integration and IoT architecture. We believe when we combine the engineers who know our products best, with experts in data and digitalization, that the fundamental makeup of our products changes for the better.
Across our organization, we combine the diverse perspectives of more than 10,000 engineers, including those based at our research facilities and innovation centers across the United States, China, India, Ireland and the Czech Republic.
Our innovation strategy relies on trusted partnerships across academia, national labs, research institutes, non-profits, suppliers, competitors, government agencies and industry-specific organizations around the world. These partnerships allow us to give back to our communities through teaching opportunities, while generating unique opportunities for collaboration with industry leaders. And all while fostering a continuous learning environment for our engineers.
Our government partnerships specifically, span 12 different countries and offer us unique opportunities to participate in early state technologies and accelerate new product development and testing in addition to unique opportunities for customer feedback gathering.
Being a trusted partner is a testament to a history of collaboration that continues to result in new funding and technical opportunities for Eaton and our customers.
