The intelligent manufacturing digital thread solution enables companies to create the factory of the future today by harnessing the most advanced tools and technologies to deliver better quality products faster while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to changes on the fly.
The benefits of intelligent manufacturing are realized through a concept called “shift left,” which brings manufacturing considerations into the early stages of product development, reducing ramp-up time and minimizing late design changes during production. Through a seamless data exchange inside a common product and process development platform, based on a robust digital thread, companies create a closed-loop where manufacturing is connected to design, engineering, operations, and maintenance.
Leveraging the production digital twin, production lines can be simulated and validated digitally through virtual commissioning, which saves time and reduces risk. This can be accomplished without interfering with ongoing production, maximizing project capacity, and potential revenue.
As the pool of talented manufacturing engineers and technicians in the aerospace and defense industry shrinks, it is vital companies maintain production expertise and bring automation to the shop floor. Electronic work instructions facilitated by augmented reality (AR) can be tailored to each employee's skill level, bridging the gaps between experience and talent levels on the shop floor, while also capturing knowledge and tips for future projects and employees. By introducing virtual reality (VR) into manufacturing, entire production facilities and processes can be visualized, modified, and optimized before any investments are made in tooling, machinery, or manpower.
