Digital Manufacturing
Digital Manufacturing is an integrated approach to manufacturing that is centered around a computer system. The transition to digital manufacturing has become more popular with the rise in the quantity and quality of computer systems in manufacturing plants.
We’ve seen the business outcomes that can be enabled by digital manufacturing include:
– A comprehensive, secure, end-to-end infrastructure; one that is based on a network architecture enabling and enhancing automation, collaboration, and business intelligence. It should span the entire supply chain, including R&D, engineering, and design, as well as production operations, distribution, and retail elements.
– At the computing level, connected machines use IOE technologies to share data and improve performance. Whether they reside in the data center or on a public, private, or hybrid cloud environment, computing capabilities are available where they are most needed at the edge, in the plant, at the enterprise, or outside the firewall.
– At the application level, collaboration is key. Interconnected assets and devices on the plant floor and along the supply chain can connect to the Internet, share their status, and communicate with other devices. Big data analytics automatically analyses huge volumes of unstructured and variable data, which are gathered in real time. The results are an event-based, self-healing system that can intelligently make decisions and increase the visibility of operational processes.
