Process Optimization of the Digital Fab

Especially in the automobile industry, Digital Fab is established as methodology and continuous tool for the planning of facilities and production processes and for virtual commissioning. In other industry sectors, the use of Digital Fab is getting more and more interesting as well.

Using Digital Fab makes it possible to plan complex production and logistic processes virtually at a computer system, to model them efficiently and to simulate them rapidly. Digital Fab allows realistic forecasts about the operability of production facilities and logistic systems. By simulation, a practical prognosis of the productivity and the capability of production and logistic processes becomes possible.v

Aims of the Digital Fab

Digital Fab is the basis for an integrated cooperation of product development and production. It supports a simultaneous product and production development, allows an early consideration of production requirements during the development phase and improves the fast feedback of experiences from production in development and planning.

This integration supports the main goals of the Digital Fab

Acceleration of design processes and increase of planning efficiency by automation of data and information searchv
Standardization of methods and processesv
Avoidance of design errors by virtual start-up
Reduction of development time, design time and production costs
Shortening of process times
Improvement of facility and process maturityv
Securing the ramp-up
Monitoring and optimization of the production run

An essential prerequisite for the success of the Digital Fab is the integration of your tools in the existing IT environment beyond the value chain. This way, the data integrity and identity is guaranteed.
