Digital manufacturing helps you eliminate potential issues earlier and optimize throughput by enabling greater collaboration in a Model-Driven Program Execution environment.

Create part manufacturing plans with our solutions that enable planning and collaboration between manufacturing, engineering and suppliers. As a result, you can use captured process parameters to produce highly accurate quotes and use quotes to quickly prepare and update detailed manufacturing plans. You can also manage the manufacturing plan data under full revision and configuration control in a secure environment.

For the design and manufacture of Die and Mold tooling, our solutions help you streamline the CAD/CAM/CNC process chain to reduce tool cost and deliver high-quality parts on time. Our solution can deliver released plans to production by connecting the managed PLM environment for design and manufacturing planning directly to shop floor systems.

Greater efficiency is achieved using our solution for virtual commissioning of production to identify and correct production and quality issues in a production digital twin prior to launch. Finally, monitor and control quality with our solution to gain a comprehensive view of the factory operation, identifying production issues earlier and resolving them quicker.
