Dassault Systèmes' Mike Buchli on why successful manufacturers need to think holistically about digital.

This video is brought to you by Dassault Systèmes.

To achieve success in manufacturing today, professionals must synchronize the application of capital, labor and equipment in a sort of industrial ballet, where the competing requirements of time, cost and speed are calculated and recalculated on a real-time basis. To get great outcomes, manufacturing processes must be planned carefully, and to stay successful, manufacturers most aggregate, analyze and act on multiple data sets generated by manufacturing processes and by the products themselves.

Knowing what to do with that data, and how to analyze it to generate actionable insight requires tools as complex as the production equipment itself. Simulation to model what if scenarios is now standard, and artificial intelligence is expected to make rapid inroads in manufacturing, and today everyone is talking about the digital twin. But that twin is not the end goal, it’s actually the starting place.

Jim Anderton discusses where manufacturers need to go once they leave that starting line with Mike Buchli,  3DEXPERIENCE WORKS manufacturing expert at Dassault Systèmes.
