Does the virtual world improve the real world of manufacturing? State-of-the-art solutions go beyond digital twin technologies to help companies become more sustainable, innovative, safe and profitable in making and delivering products and services that are well received by their customers. The virtual twin experience can virtually demonstrate what can be implemented and executed in the real world by modelling, simulating and visualising – from manufacturing, plant layout, operations and logistics – across the entire supply chain. Extending digital models into a working virtual twin improves the processes between engineering and production – manufacturing, assembly, testing and maintenance. Augmented reality technology and interactive 3D guide human operators through complex assembly tasks, automate quality checks and increase worker safety and satisfaction. With connectivity and collaboration between all stakeholders, ‘what if’ scenarios can be created and optimised, including anticipating disruptions, launching new products, changing resources and rebalancing workforce capacity.
Participants will learn about the virtual twin. They will learn about the constraints of real-world implementation and execution through modelling, simulation and visualisation, from production, plant layout, operations and logistics (across the supply chain).
