The automotive industry is being reshaped by revolutionary technologies and consumer demands, making the launch of a new product more complex than ever before. At the same time, stricter sustainability and regulatory requirements are driving companies to optimize energy and raw material usage to drive sustainability into their manufacturing processes.
Watch the animated video to learn how automotive companies can use virtual manufacturing development to meet these challenges.
The virtual development process allows automotive OEMs and suppliers to rehearse the launch of a new product digitally before launching it in the assembly plant. All engineering disciplines can collaborate in a single integrated digital environment to accelerate work, cell line operations, and plant development. Virtual manufacturing development helps reduce downtime, eliminate errors, avoid costly rework, and ensure workcell safety with human simulation capabilities.
Advanced simulation allows automotive manufacturers to test and commission equipment virtually to identify issues before physical commissioning. Virtual manufacturing development helps avoid the costly design, build, test, and redesign iteration cycle that can delay product launch and cause expensive errors.
