In today’s fast-paced and highly competitive manufacturing landscape, product design & manufacturing face numerous challenges. Traditional methods often cannot keep up with the complexities of modern day production. Especially because of the silos within organizations—where design, manufacturing, production planning, and maintenance repair operations (MRO) operate independently—leading to inefficiencies and hinder collaboration. The lack of integrated data and real-time feedback mechanisms further aggravates these issues, resulting in increased errors, higher costs, and longer time-to-market.
Virtual Twin Experience
The Virtual Twin Experience, is an advanced version of the digital twin concept pioneered by Dassault Systèmes. Unlike the digital twin, which is a mere static digital representation of a physical object, the Virtual Twin Experience is an interactive, executable model that connects to real-world processes in real-time. This integration allows for continuous updates and improvements based on actual data, creating a system that bridges the gap between the virtual and physical worlds.
By combining data from across all stages of the production process, the Virtual Twin enables total process simulation, offering extraordinary insights into operations. The 3D model of the entire system, allows designers and engineers to test and simulate various conditions to ensure optimum performance, even before the product hits manufacturing. Significantly reducing errors and enhancing the quality of the final product.
Benefits –
- Productivity Boosted by up to 30%: Accelerates critical processes, reduces product errors, and increases efficiency, leading to enhanced product outcomes.
- Improved Business Resilience: Unlimited planning scenarios, better understanding of risk exposure, and enhanced adaptability and robustness, making companies more resilient.
- Sustainable Innovation: Supports continuous improvement without extensive physical resources, promoting sustainable innovation by minimizing waste and energy consumption.
- Enhanced Safety: Techniques can be refined safely in the virtual environment before real-life application, improving the outcomes of risky tasks.
- Cost Reduction: Virtual testing eliminates the need for physical prototypes, enabling informed decision-making with real-time data, optimizing efficiency, and minimizing errors.
- Early and Cost-Free Failure Identification: Issues can be identified and resolved digitally, avoiding costly mistakes in physical production.
3DEXPERIENCE Cloud in Virtual Twin Experience
3DEXPERIENCE Cloud-based solutions enhance the capabilities of the Virtual Twin Experience by providing instant access to valuable insights into real-world performance. This integration improves operational resiliency, reduces costs, and offers a competitive advantage. Merging virtual and real worlds on the cloud enables improved decision-making, reduced travel costs, and sharing of best practices.
Additionally, cloud-based virtual twin technologies facilitate sustainable innovation by shortening time-to-market, reducing time-to-simulate, and streamlining workflows.
3DEXPERIENCE Cloud Summit India 2024
To further explore the capabilities of the Virtual Twin Experience on Cloud, Dassault Systèmes is excited to announce the fourth edition of the highly anticipated 3DEXPERIENCE Cloud Summit India. Taking place on August 21, 2024, at the JW Marriott in Bengaluru, this summit promises a dynamic day filled with thought-provoking, engaging, and interactive sessions, all set to showcase the transformative power of cloud-based virtual twins technology.
With the vision of “Virtual Twin Experience Powered by Cloud,” this year’s summit aims to bring together all aspects of business on a single cloud-based innovation platform. Uniting visionaries, pioneers, and innovators from startups and industry leaders in sectors such as healthcare, electric vehicles (EV), drones, aerospace, and more. The event aims to unlock the potential of the 3DEXPERIENCE SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) platform through Virtual Twin technology, enabling sustainable innovation and reshaping industry futures.
