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.
