Digital manufacturing helps manufacturing companies improve productivity in planning and production processes, in the following ways:
- Enables product, process, plant and resource information to be associated, viewed and taken through change processes, with a consistent and comprehensive approach to production design
- Allows part manufacturing processes to be optimized within a managed environment to produce flexible work instructions capable of displaying 2D/3D part information, along with machining and tooling instructions
- Reduces commissioning costs through simulation by validating robotics and automation programs virtually
- Helps you create factory models faster and ensure they are operating under optimal layout, material flow and throughput before production ramp-up
- Supports six-sigma and lean initiatives by providing a graphical environment to analyze dimensional variation
- Facilitates the sharing of quality data across your organization by generating complete, verifiable CAD-based machine inspection programs for coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and numerical control (NC) machine tools
- Executes production processes with real-time access to lifecycle data
