Consumer products are becoming increasingly complex, necessitating cross-functional collaboration during product planning, design, development, and manufacturing processes. Connectivity is essential for consumers to enjoy their home appliances, with most of them connecting to smartphones, virtual assistants, or both. Manufacturers must also comply with applicable government regulations, safety, and energy efficiency standards while meeting consumer expectations. Additionally, consumer products require elaborate software-enabled systems that adapt to changing consumer behaviors.

Process design and validation are unified solutions that enable consumer goods manufacturers to define and virtually validate production processes to anticipate any potential issues.

As consumer products evolve, it becomes increasingly evident that manufacturers must adapt to meet demands. Numerous organizations have already begun investing in planning tools and novel manufacturing solutions to stay competitive and satisfy customers. Despite these formidable challenges, many Consumer Goods Manufacturers have yet to develop the end-to-end digital design and validation processes required to optimize manufacturing performance and eliminate enigmatic difficulties.

Enabling virtual process validation

Brands can alleviate concerns by leveraging virtual system simulation that integrates mechanical with electronics and complex software. Additionally, manufacturers can design product manufacturing and processes more effectively.

Eliminate uncertainty by introducing solutions that validate product production processes and performance with manufacturing intelligence, guaranteeing that new items are less difficult to manufacture and that the plant is prepared to manufacture them.

Fonctionnalités de la solution

Explore the key areas of this solution.

Adaptable PLM Foundation

An adaptable product lifecycle management (PLM) foundation can help you respond quickly to change from business or market disruptions. Business-wide collaboration is easy when PLM is accessible from a web browser, on any device, and within the design tools and office applications people use every day. You can choose from flexible deployment options (on-premises, cloud, SaaS) for fast time-to-value and lower cost of ownership.

Design for Additive Manufacture

La fabrication additive modifie la façon dont les produits sont conçus et fabriqués, en permettant des conceptions optimisées qui étaient auparavant impossibles ou trop coûteuses à réaliser. Concevez, optimisez et construisez des composants métalliques et plastiques en utilisant les dernières méthodes de fabrication additive.

Design for Manufacturing

La conception pour la fabrication (design for manufacturing) peut vous aider à réduire considérablement les demandes de modification d’ingénierie (ECO), les défauts, les coûts et les retards de fabrication. DFMPro pour NX vous offre des outils 3D haute définition qui automatisent et formalisent le processus de révision des conceptions destiné à vérifier leur fabricabilité, vous aidant ainsi à identifier les conceptions difficiles, coûteuses ou impossibles à fabriquer.

Digital Manufacturing Viewer

Easily share and view manufacturing engineering data stored in your PLM system, from electronic work instructions and 3D models to process simulations and markups.

Environmental Compliance & Product Sustainability

Restez en conformité et répondez à vos besoins de développement durable grâce à la gestion des matériaux et des substances, au traitement automatisé des déclarations des fournisseurs, à la notation de la conformité environnementale et aux rapports correspondants, ainsi qu’à un cadre de PLM pour le développement durable.

Industrial Design & Styling

Une conception et un style distinctifs donnent aux entreprises un avantage concurrentiel. Nos logiciels fournissent des outils de conception industrielle assistée par ordinateur flexibles et robustes ainsi qu’un outil de stylisme, qui accélèrent l’ingénierie de vos produits en fournissant rapidement des concepts directement utilisables pour la modélisation.
