Smart manufacturing is taking center stage in 2022, bridging the gap between the design and manufacturing environments to enable collaboration with intelligent data exchange formats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent article in sme.org<\/a>, Rahul Garg, Vice President, Industrial Machinery & SMB Program, Siemens Digital Industries Software<\/em>, discusses how digital transformation is enabling smart manufacturing to validate and manage modern manufacturing and assembly operations, achieving optimum quality with less cost, reaping a wealth of benefits: connectability, adaptability, predictability and extendability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smart manufacturing reduces time-to-market and development costs through improved planning, faster validation of production alternatives, and growing operational efficiency and manufacturing performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is a process that delivers a fully IoT-interconnected environment where every factory machine, system or database provides insight from vital data using a low- or no-code tool interface. Teams can respond to issues remotely in real time, with the factory operating efficiently, whether people are there physically or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concurrently, with continuing pressure to build and deliver innovative products quickly, customers desire personalization and customization. In this ever-changing marketplace, there is also an essential need for flexibility, efficiency and quality. So, a comprehensive digital enterprise opens the door to new and innovative business areas in all industries by responding to customer requests and market demands swiftly. There is also a resiliency advantage when unexpected interruptions transpire. So, this methodology provides priceless benefits: quality, operation, speed and a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digitalization via smart manufacturing uses specialized software. Smart manufacturing is a multidisciplinary approach using a comprehensive digital twin of the machine and manufacturing process. So, correct software is essential. For instance, engineers provide the best design to balance cost and durability based on machine dynamics; subsequently, based on up-front simulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
