Virtual production execution
promotes flexible manufacturing by offering
an accurate and reliable virtual production
system to track real-time production
activities, perform schedule changes,
launch new programs, introduce model
changeovers, and schedule maintenance
operations. It provides 3D digital enterprise
communication and teamwork exchange
tools to assist with production activity.
Users can make product and process information
created during the planning and design
stages available to the shop floor worker
in a visually intuitive, graphically
intensive, easy-to-use format.
Navigation and collaboration tools deliver
viewing and navigation access to IP
for design engineers and others throughout
the enterprise, thereby providing a
powerful communication and collaboration
tool for viewing and sharing information
to link design, manufacturing, and other
stakeholders with the non-technical
community.
Capabilities for live planning and management
of the running factory balance the dynamics
of the production environment to take
into account and problem solve for market
demand, product mix, and customer orders
to achieve flexible manufacturing. Manufacturers
can react to the dynamics of part suppliers
and availability for on demand delivery.
Users can also schedule and track all
aspects of production in real time as
the factory is running to capture the
demands of the global market, to plan
new program launches, and to model changeovers
to create the greatest market impact. |
