DELMIAWorks Webinar: Mastering Manufacturing Process Development
2024-08-28 11:00 (America/Halifax)
From Concept to Production: Mastering Manufacturing Process Development

Aug 28, 2024 11:00 AM (ET)

In the competitive world of manufacturing, the design and layout of your processes are as critical as the equipment you use. Whether integrating a new production line or transitioning to a new facility, optimizing material flow from raw materials to finished products is key to a successful investment. Historically, large multinational firms have relied on meticulous planning and advanced 3D renders to refine their processes. In contrast, midmarket manufacturers lacking these resources often rely on informal knowledge and estimates, leading to suboptimal outcomes. However, with the constant evolution of process simulation tools and user friendly process monitoring systems, midmarket manufacturers now have the capability to develop and evaluate production processes in a virtual environment.

Join DELMIAWorks Industry Process Consultants Johann Ortiz-Franco and Josh Covault on August 28th at 11:00 am EST as they review tools and techniques for creating digital process replicas and simulating the impact of changes before they are made in the real world.

In this webinar, we will delve into:
• Utilizing Digital Twin Technology: Transform plant layouts with optimized space and resource utilization.
• Optimizing Process Flows: Enhance production efficiency through testing and refining.
• Real-Time Data Acquisition: Validate assumptions and decisions made during the design process.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about the technology that can help you expand your production facility safely and efficiently -without the guesswork and anxiety.
