Digital Manufacturing
DIGITAL MANUFACTURING
Digital Manufacturing enables innovation and efficiency by planning, simulating, and modeling the company’s operations. It allows manufacturing and service providers to virtually experience their entire operations from the impact of design to determining how to meet the global demand. Customers can virtually validate value networks, factory layouts, transportation plans, process plans, logistic plans, and workforce plans to quickly respond to the competition or market needs. It extends the visualization beyond the product into Manufacturing and Operations – providing the ability to simulate manufacturing processes before the physical plant or production line even exists.
COLLABORATIVE MANUFACTURING
Connect manufacturing stakeholders for a common understanding
- Reuse existing processes and tools
- Manage plant–and others resources–with change control
- Connect suppliers and others collaborators to the single source of manufacturing truth
- Manufacturing project governance
PROCESS PLANNING
Design, validate, and document manufacturing processes
- Accelerate new product and variant introduction planning
- Optimize space and resources to increase factory performance and safety
- Reduce product and physical resource prototypes with 4D simulation
ROBOTICS
Program and simulate industrial robotics
- Reduce capital investment by designing and validating new systems virtually
- Increase manufacturing volume by reducing cycle time
- Launch new products faster by programming robots offline
FABRICATION
Program and simulate machining and additive manufacturing
- Reduce programming time by reusing company best practices
- Improve programming accuracy with advanced machining strategies
- Ensure tool paths are collision-free with machine tool simulation
ERGONOMICS
Design human-centered production and workplace environment
- Optimize end-user experience by integrating ergonomics requirements early in product design
- Lower the need for costly physical prototypes using the targeted virtual population
- Focus on worker safety with early validation of tasks
- Reduce the risk of work-related injuries
