SEVEN WAYS TO REDUCE NON-VALUE-ADDED WORK IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Virtual prototyping (VP) is on the rise amid the
fourth industrial revolution. Engineers seek
methods to increase speed and decrease cost
throughout the conceptualization, design, and
manufacturing processes. With the urgency for
optimization, a single platform to easily organize,
analyze, test, enhance, and share product designs
has become more enticing for today’s companies.
Key Takeaways and Recommendation
- Design verification is the low-hanging fruit. Verification and
testing is the most common use case for virtual prototyping
because it gives engineers the ability to conduct a myriad of tests
in a virtual environment without wasting raw materials or time
manufacturing physical prototypes. The accuracy and versatility of
virtual testing also result in the generation of higher quality
products at a faster rate
- Tap into the Cloud for greater collaboration and control.
In addition to reducing costs and maintaining orderliness among
countless drawing files, a cloud structure provides a platform for
engineers to share and reuse designs, easily. Cloud-based virtual
prototyping gives engineers finer control over the entire testing
and design process by providing visibility into isolated timesteps
and components. Advanced collaboration and control support the
creation of more complex products as well as the transfer of
simulation knowledge, which can result in the adoption of
simulation across disciplines.
- The Best-in-Class reap time and cost rewards with VP.
With approximately 10% margins in metrics related to time-to market and production costs, it is not surprising that Best-in-Class
companies are implementing VP at higher rates than All Others.
Virtual prototyping is streamlining design processes and
revolutionizing the manufacturing industry by ultimately making
production faster and lower cost while optimizing product quality
instead of sacrificing it.
