The Factory of the Future

What’s in the future for the manufacturing industry?

With the fourth industrial revolution (or Industry 4.0) now well and truly upon us, it is more important than ever for manufacturers to stay up to date with the latest technologies.

Watch this video from our partners, Dassault Systemes to learn more about the future of manufacturing. The video walks you through some of the key technological concepts that will be essential for manufacturers to grow and remain competitive in the future.

 

What will the factory of the future need to thrive?

Resource Planning

• Manage a full-plant layout in 3D with the ability to position and manipulate resources
• Simulate the flow of products and work in production lines
• Simulate machines that are associated with each production line
• Virtually test robots and machines before commissioning them.

Manufacturing Planning

• Convert engineering bill of materials (EBOM) into a manufacturing bill of material (MBOM) to understand how the impact the manufacturing of parts
• Design the process plan with the sequence of events
• Create 3D work instructions for the machine or operator
• Train workers virtually with immersive experiences before working on the real production line.

Planning and Optimisation

• Determine how to produce and meet business objectives to minimise the impact of supply chain disruptions
• Optimise the distribution network through logistic planning
• Maximise customer order production with available capacity and resources.

Manufacturing Operation

• Plan and schedule production orders in the right sequence
• Orchestrate and track the performance of the factory production line
• IIoT (industrial internet of things) production monitoring and analytics to improve performance, quality and asset utilisation
• Ease, reinforce and develop team collaboration and interaction.
