Digital systems

Digitalisation, when executed well, accelerates other transitions. The addition of new functions and features becomes possible while maintaining high reliability, resilience, and future-proofing. Our experts develop methodologies to manage the complexity of these systems. We design robust digital solutions and promote collaboration and stability through systems thinking.

We contribute to solving complex societal challenges, driven by:

• The increased complexity of systems
• Growth of international competition
• Shortage of qualified technical experts (the human capital challenge)

These three factors form the basis of our vision for the future of engineering complex digital systems:

‘In 2035, engineers will have more than doubled their productivity and effectiveness through intensive 'side-by-side' collaboration with digital engineering assistants that utilise the system, domain, and engineering knowledge of the organisation.’

TNO believes in the power of collaboration. We work closely with partners from industry, government, and academia to develop innovative methodologies and digital system implementations that truly make a difference. This way, we bring our customers and partners to systems thinking and systems overview, enabling them to design, build, and operate successful complex systems. Together, we are building a future where digital technologies contribute to a better world.
