Our Digital Manufacturing solutions allow you to virtually walk through your proposed manufacturing facility and simulate various manufacturing processes even before making even the smallest investment in the physical infrastructure. As a user, you can make more informed decisions at all stages of the project phase – at the investment stage, for material flow optimization, cycle time tuning or load balancing.

At a typical discrete manufacturing facility, the entire plant design and optimization may be viewed through three different facets of function, and the user can do this individually or holistically, depending upon his/her organizational and business needs.

The Physical aspect addresses the physical infrastructure layout, material movement and sizing and equipment locations. Many historic Factory Layout processes are prone to error, because design teams have a difficult time understanding the impact of equipment placement on the factory floor. These gaps in information can be costly not just because of the numerous iterations involved, but could have an even costlier impact during setup and installation if not caught early on.

The People aspect addresses testing and the study of the human element, and includes injury risk, timing and efficiency, user comfort, reachability, lines of sight, fatigue limits and other important parameters, to build better and safer manufacturing facilities.

The last Process aspect addresses all process plans, routings and shop floor operations and in turn synchronizes the plant, product design, resources so that they engage effectively to meet manufacturing requirements. This helps the Organization manage all data related to products, processes, resources and plants in a single environment of manufacturing process management. Process Simulation tools assist in validating existing processes and also have the ability to adapt and investigate new process designs, without interfering with physical plant operations.
