The more companies can that industrialize their manufacturing processes, the faster they will be able to deliver customized trains to meet customer expectations. At the production stage, technology can help them streamline tasks to meet budget and planning imperatives. Process Planning and Virtual Build keeps projects on track with tools that digitally define and simulate the fabrication process to verify production and assembly lines before physical set up. The digital copy improves communication between designers and assembly line workers because they can collaborate to make adjustments early to either the product design or the line layout, helping to eliminate bottlenecks and excessive material waste. Working in a virtual environment promotes repeatability, which accelerates manufacturing set up because models are stored in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and can be reused in future projects. Plants can share best practices since information is capitalized and accessible to project stakeholders. Shop floor workers benefit from digital assembly instructions based on up-to-date 3D models and animations while clients have maintenance manuals that are easier to understand. Both provide more clarity and mitigate errors, frustrations and costly re-dos. |
