Virtual factories unlock new possibilities for the world’s heavy industries, allowing them to design, build, simulate, operate, and optimize their assets and processes—entirely virtually. These physics-based industrial digital twins bring many benefits to teams, including:
Improved communication and decisions: During facility design, construction, and commissioning, virtual factories streamline communication for project stakeholders, allow teams to visualize and make decisions in context, and ensure that decisions are informed by the most current data.
Simulation of ideal layouts: Teams can connect virtual factories to simulation tools to optimize facility designs for production and material flow, ergonomics, and safety.
Optimization of operations: Teams can integrate their virtual factories with real-time production data to identify, analyze, and resolve issues.
Training and testing autonomous systems: AI and robotics developers can develop and test the generative physical AI that powers autonomous systems deployed in physical factories.
