I need to increase production efficiency with reducing costs, but actually the production process does not usually go as well as planned. Can you give us any suggestion on this issue?
I see. This is probably one of the common issues in manufacturing industries.
Leveraging technology for the manufacturing industries defenitely helps you solve the issues you currently have. And, this is a global trend which we call it Digital Manufacturing (DM).
Digital Manufacturing (DM)…?
Digital Manufacturing (DM) means the application of digital technology to integrate and improve all manufacturing processes from design to production.
Now, let’s take a look at DELMIA Digital Manufacturing Capabilities, which is a solution of Dassault Systèmes, dedicated to MANUFACTURING INNOVATION and VALUE to you to DRIVE SUCCESS in DIGITAL MANUFACTURING.
DELMIA Digital Manufacturing Capabilities include five big categories below.
- Collaborative Manufacturing
- Connect manufacturing stakeholders for a common understanding
- Reuse existing processes and tools
- Manage plant–and other resources–with change control
- Connect suppliers and others collaborators to the single source of manufacturing truth
- Manufacturing project governance
- Connect manufacturing stakeholders for a common understanding
- Process Planning
- Design, validate and document manufacturing processes
- Accelerate new product and variant introduction planning
- Optimization of space and resources to increase factory performance and safety
- Reduce product and resource physical prototypes with 4D simulation
- Design, validate and document manufacturing processes
- Robotics
- Program and simulate industrial robotics
- Reduce capital investment by designing and validating new systems virtually
- Increase manufacturing volume by reducing cycle time
- Launch new products faster by programming robots offline
- Program and simulate industrial robotics
- Fabrication
- Program and simulate machining and additive manufacturing
- Reduce programming time by reusing company best practices
- Improve programming accuracy with advanced machining strategies
- Ensure tool paths are collision-free with machine tool simulation
- Program and simulate machining and additive manufacturing
- Ergonomics
- Design human-centered production and workplace environments
- Optimize end-user experience by integrating ergonomics requirements early in product design
- Lower the need for costly physical prototypes using the targeted virtual population
- Focus on worker safety with early validation of tasks
- Reduce the risk of work-related injuries
- Design human-centered production and workplace environments
I see..
What categories do you think meet my requirements?
All five categories are necessary because they are interconnected. However, you can prioritize the issues in production by the degree of seriousness or urgency of the production. This may guide you find what category you need the most.
Mmm, the biggest issue we have been facing is a planning and collaboration in the production process. We would like to increase the production efficiency with reducing costs.
Okay, maybe you can try focusing on Collaborative Manufacturing and Process Planning.
Collaborative Manufacturing helps all the stakeholders inside and outside your organization work together to improve manufacturing processes and ensure product quality.
Process Planning is a systematic approach to plan all the processes required to manufacture a products.
I see. I will discuss it with my team.
About other categories such as Robotics, Fabrication, and Ergonomics, let me explain some other time.
