About 3DEXPERIENCE On Wheels : Connected Factory

The Industry Renaissance is emerging worldwide and is driven by virtual worlds created and managed on virtual experience platforms, the infrastructure of Industry Renaissance. This infrastructure allows us to visualize and control in the virtual world what we cannot see in the real world: the entire industrial ecosystem.

Digital technology, in enabling virtual experiences, changes our world. Digital is a transformational medium, improving productivity and competitiveness by making it possible to simulate and evaluate performance and impacts before a product is made. Digital enables people to imagine differently, simultaneously inventing, mapping, modeling, engineering and managing new environments.

The Future of Manufacturing lies in harnessing this entire digital ecosystem to deliver exciting and sustainable experiences to eager customers. The Future of Manufacturing is based on the concept of the smart factory, which interconnects machinery and systems on production sites, but also outside to clients, partners and other production sites. It’s not just digitalized manufacturing. Instead, it is digitalized manufacturing informed by new ways of inventing, learning, producing and trading that are shaking all sectors of the economy and society.

The 3DEXPERIENCE On Wheels : Connected Factory is a campaign that will reach out to large enterprises and their SME clusters in West and South regions. The Connected Factory journey is in line with our proposition of “Create in India” that accelerates design, innovation, production and manufacturing under one collaborative, experiential platform.

Through this campaign, we will showcase an actual functional factory assembly line mounted on a vehicle that will display five experiences critical for a smart and connected factory. These include Lean Management, Advanced Production Scheduling (APS), Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM), Manufacturing Analytics and 3DEXPERIENCE Twin.

TODAY'S MANUFACTURING CHALLENGES

Digitalize Operations

Digitalizing manufacturing is a necessary part of a larger transformation -- the transformation of the entire industrial ecosystem to one that is virtualized and digitalized. New business models will create new demands on manufacturing. Manufacturers need to invest wisely for this transformation.

Accelerate Innovation

The pace of business keeps accelerating, along with consumer demand for better, faster goods and services. Manufacturers must embrace a digital transformation of their entire enterprise and its extended ecosystem to get to market quickly.

Overcome Complexity

The “one size fits all” concept is gone. Mass production is being replaced with mass customization. Supply chains are more complex, interwoven and diverse must be digitalized to provide visibility to the OEMs. Meanwhile, margins shrink and skilled employees are harder to find.

Operate Globally, Serve Locally

Crucial decisions about future technology and IT investment could well determine companies’ survival. Diverse production sites must be managed uniformly, managers must be able to see and control extended supply chains while understanding and serving local customers' needs.

Increase Responsiveness

Since the third Industrial Revolution, manufacturing has been one of the most stable sectors. Now, processes that used to last for years quickly become obsolete. Consumer demand can change overnight, new technologies are disruptive in a heartbeat and processes once cast in stone must now be flexible and easy to change. Agility, whether local or global, is now crucial.

Drive Operational Excellence

Competition and consumer demand puts relentless pressure on operational performance. Most global manufacturers have addressed the “easy” fixes, such as Lean production. But continuous improvement means never-ending change. Manufacturers need more than a commitment to continuous improvement; they need resources and technology to achieve it.
