Computer-aided design and manufacturing enables designers to develop digital objects, create virtual factories to produce them, and run simulations to see how the plant would work in the real world.
Computer-aided design and manufacturing enables designers to develop digital objects, create virtual factories to produce them, and run simulations to see how the plant would work in the real world.
Once the factory goes into operation, the simulation tool is put away. But what if data from the real factory could be fed back into the simulation to compare actual production against the simulated ideal?
Professor Michael Grieves says the result could be manufacturing that is cheaper, faster and more accurate.
In a webcast, Digital Twin: Manufacturing Excellence Through Virtual Factory Replication, Grieves explains how this new approach to manufacturing could work. There is also a related White Paper that gives more detail on this exciting approach.
