Per Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Factory of the Future is a vision for how to enhance manufacturing by improving plant structure, digitization and processes. Enhancing each area is considered vital for performance improvement by 2030.
Plant structure includes multidirectional layout, modular line startup and sustainable production. Plant digitization focuses on smarter automation and harnessing efficiency by leveraging smart/collaborative robots, additive manufacturing, augmented reality, use of production simulations, immersive training sessions, use of decentralized production steering and leveraging big data/analytics. Plant processes can be improved through lean management, continuous improvement and customer centricity (understanding how customers use products to improve product design and production processes).
MOSIMTEC factory simulation modeling can help. Create production plans dynamically and explore options virtually for plant layouts, production lines, robot usage and more in immersive, data-driven 3D simulations. Simulate performance hundreds of times for multiple scenarios to see what works, what doesn’t, and what changes drive best results. Harness data, analytics and leading edge technology to drive improvement, stay ahead of competitors and avoid real-world missteps.
