Industry 4.0 & Digital Twin Capabilities
Combines asset data with model
Industry 4.0 begins with digital transformation starting with the plant floor. New, more efficient workflows can be developed when we migrate from a 2D layout to a Smart Model, containing not only the geometry but all assets and associated data.
The three primary goals for the creating a Smart Model are:
Single, digital source of all data
Make that data accessible to all stakeholders
Define a long term strategy for integrating with IIoT
Collaboration and Design Validation
The factory floor is too expensive to use as an experimental field. New technology demands – agile manufacturing, 3D printing, and additive manufacturing – make the production environment more dynamic than traditional repetitive processes. Virtual simulation of the Digital Twin will allow for:
Testing of multiple “what if” scenarios
Digital collaboration with all stakeholders
Design certainty before any physical changes are made
Turn Mass Data from Shop Floor to Actionable Intelligence
One of the main benefits to Digital Twin is to give stakeholders to plant floor personnel visibility into operations – getting the right data to the right people at the right time:
Data allowing operations to move from reactive to proactive
Empowering shop floor to identify new productivity improvements
Give all stakeholders from management to plant floor personnel a true vision of operational conditions and assets
Virtual tours of facility from anywhere
Advanced 3D workflows provide the opportunity to utilize state-of-the-art collaboration techniques:
Virtual fly-throughs
Virtual design validation
