Digital Manufacturing

dig mfg overview plane imageMany Aerospace and Defense companies face the challenges of compliance for industry initiatives and corporate directives to create a digital manufacturing industry in a global environment.

Part Manufacturing is a managed environment of applications for creating process plans, managing and associating tools to that plan, optimizing tool behavior, and creating flexible reports targeted at part manufacture. Part Manufacturing links the tasks of the manufacturing engineer, NC programmer, tool designer, tooling manager and shop floor personnel in an electronic and managed environment. You can create operations in both a hierarchical (tree) structure and a process sequence using PERT graphical editing and displays. Key is that it provides controlled access to the right part manufacturing data, at the right time, for the right people.

Assembly Planning includes a broad range of applications to optimize assembly sequences; coordinate operation timing and kinematics; verify line performance, including throughput and resource utilization; perform line balancing and analyze production costs. The result is process plan containing a full description of how a product is assembled, manufactured, tested and packaged. This plan becomes the basis for collaboration among planning teams, plants, suppliers.
