Manage custom part production complexity with integrated manufacturing operations

Machine shops are being asked to develop more complex and customized parts and components than ever before.

At the same time, most part manufacturers struggle with storing and reusing manufacturing information because their processes aren't digitized or automated. Introducing manual decisions on the shop floor leads to high volumes of waste and mistakes.

Digital Part Production: The rise of connected machines

To combat these risks, manufacturers need to fully merge their digital and physical processes to create a continuous, digitized communication and feedback loop to understand how each change to part design impacts the larger manufacturing process. They can do so in a variety of ways, such as highly automated CAM, integrated CAD/CAM/computer numerical control (CNC), additive manufacturing and operations intelligence.

Integrated manufacturing operations: Leverage the power of connected technologies

Integrated manufacturing operations combines order, quality and part production systems to allow parts manufacturers to do more with less. With these digital solutions, machine shops can plan, simulate and manufacture high-quality parts with energy-efficient processes in a single automated workflow. When communication between CAD and CAM is streamlined, changes can be incorporated more easily and quickly without making costly mistakes.
