Vivek Saxena, founder of FactoryTwin, discusses how Factory Digital Twins improve shop floor decisions.
Factory Digital Twin (FDT) technology captures the past and present of any factory's complex physics, is constantly updated with shop floor data, and predicts the future. FDT is the most comprehensive approach to enabling shop floor decisions in a dynamic sense and also doing it faster and better.
Digital twins for manufacturing are particularly difficult computationally since, in general, the lead times are very long, setup times cannot be ignored, and the process times are very broadly distributed. However, due to the convergence of several technological developments, it is now possible to execute FDT for an SME factory (from ten million to a few hundred million USD revenue) on a high-end laptop in just a few minutes.
FactoryTwin is a user friendly, secure, and affordable platform to harness the superpower of your existing factory data, offline information, and tribal knowledge of senior associates to achieve double digit productivity gains for both shop floor and office resources.
