Advances in Technologies Widen Market Opportunities for Digital Manufacturing Use
In today’s scenario, companies need to have a cutting edge technology in order to withstand the market competition. Digital manufacturing refers to the use of computer technology to integrate tools such as simulation, 3D visualization and analytics in order to create layout of product manufacturing process. Digital manufacturing is a subset of product lifecycle management (PLM) which improves overall production efficiency. It provides and supports process planning, factory modeling, visualization and simulation of operations, human factor analysis and collaborative communication. This allows manufacturing engineers to create a complete definition of the manufacturing processes such as tooling, work centers, assembly lines and resources in a virtual environment. It helps to effectively plan the processes before being production of products. Digital manufacturing takes feedback from actual production operations and include it into the new product design process, allowing companies to de...
