First blog in a 12-part series covering the Digital Twin Best Practices in Electronics Manufacturing<\/em> mini-webinar series by Jay Gorajia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Electronics designers and manufacturers are facing an ever-growing set of challenges. From intense competition to reduced volumes, profitability is further endangered by increased project complexity. Design and manufacturing errors, discovered at a late stage of the project, affect a wide range of measurable performance indicators \u2013 such as lead times, cost of inventory, rework costs \u2013 and have a detrimental effect on time-to-market, profit margins, and corporate reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why a \u201cdigital twin<\/a>\u201d of the design and manufacturing processes has become a must. We all know that the discovery of design flaws becomes increasingly expensive as a project progresses. Therefore, the intent of the digital twin is to \u201cshift left\u201d all relevant processes and decision making, so they can be analyzed and improved in the early stages of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to see how this digital-twin \u201csecret\u201d works? In this on-demand, mini-webinar series<\/a> presented by Jay Gorajia our goal is to provide a blueprint for organizations that seek to digitalize and optimize their design-to-manufacturing processes and their manufacturing operations. In addition we provide answers to many of the questions that manufacturers are asking about Industry 4.0 and manufacturing digitization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each webinar is just 5 minutes long – and to view the whole 12-part series you will need just over an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jay Gorajia<\/a> has worked with hundreds of design and manufacturing organizations around the world, driving real improvements in cost, throughput, and quality over his 27 years in the industry. In the first mini-webinar, he answers the question, \u201cWhat is an electronics manufacturing \u2018Digital Twin\u2019, and how does it influence project profitability?\u201d He then goes on to talk about the processes that are included in the digital twin model. And finally, he presents the ODB++<\/a> suite of data exchange formats, which are used to digitize design, process, and manufacturing activities \u2013 aimed at helping electronics designers and manufacturers to \u201cget it right the first time\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
