Disruptions like COVID-19 increase the complexity of manufacturing and make the horizon invisible for many businesses. All budgets, production plans, estimated demands and even orders can become a piece of paper in a couple of months. Surviving in any disruptions requires high level of adaptability and agility in your manufacturing system. Manufacturing processes, tools and employer trainings should respond to any changes rapidly without compromising quality and costs.
Dell was a perfect example as an early adopter of Agile Manufacturing approach in 1984. The goal of Dell was delivering custom build PC with stock parts. Dell’s innovation was not only offering tailor made PCs to their customer but also, they managed to adapt agile manufacturing as a company culture from production to delivery. Consumer focused production, continuous improvement, full company involvement are the pillars of agile manufacturing. For building your company on those pillars strongly, what you need is to a careful analysis before making any changes in your production line because you cannot bear the cost of interruption in production or quality problems while trying to improve the manufacturing. In contrast, all these improvements should be precisely designed, discussed and most importantly they must be validated before implementation. As a 3D manufacturing simulation software , Visual Components can help you while tackling these problems
Visual Components, a 3D manufacturing simulation software, can provide the right environment to test your systems` agility. Here I have shortlisted key features that Visual Components can help you to improve your manufacturing design
Visual Components’ e-Catalog, built-in 3D component library, makes layout creation easier and faster than ever.It includes 2,300+ models of industrial robots, conveyors, and other components from over 30 leading brands in industrial automation. You can create different 3D manufacturing layouts swiftly by dragging and dropping from e-Catalog.
Process modeling is a fast and effective way of creating and managing process flow with full integration. First, you define products with all their properties. Second, associate these products with workflows. Finally, you will get both visual and interactive layout that shows you the potential bottlenecks of the system.
The well criticized and understood designs will make decisions smarter. The simulation results can be presented in different formats such as 3D animated PDF, 4K video, animation and even Virtual Reality. So you can deliver your ideas in a best fit for your audience . Also, you can easily improve team collaboration in your organization by creating common language.
In conclusion, Visual Components can become a powerful tool that can improve internal communication and shorten time spent for proof of concepts.
