Digitalization and machine complexity
A product must differentiate itself from global competition by serving customers quickly and economically. These goals are a mainstay of manufacturing, with changing technologies propelling companies to contemplate and evaluate the optimum solutions to address customers’ needs and challenges through digitalization. Therefore, it is essential to assess machine behaviors and back that data into the model.
Intelligent Performance Engineering provides the ability to safeguard innovative machine designs to be delivered as assured via a digital thread that supports consistency and high performance. IPE provides crucial design parameters: personalization, global competition and simulation. Furthermore, it adopts methods to ensure safety, reliability and cost-effectiveness. Also, IPE promotes improved integration between designers, analysts and live data, enabling OEMs to adopt practices to improve engineering speed and deliver better performance.
Therefore, IPE combined with a digital thread is essential to harmonizing a customer’s needs and improving machine reliability and performance to evaluate, verify and test designs.
