Digital twins as an essential tool for modern business and industry
Digital Twins as an Essential Tool for Modern Business and Industry
Digital twins are increasingly important in modern business and industry as they enable companies to gain a deeper understanding of their physical systems, processes, and products. This understanding allows for better decision-making, increased efficiency, and improved quality control. Digital twins also facilitate predictive maintenance, reducing downtime and maintenance costs, while enabling real-time adjustments to improve performance and enhance collaboration between different teams. Additionally, digital twins can support sustainability initiatives by providing insights into resource usage and waste reduction.
The client's tight project timelines and asset acquisition deadlines have required rough assumptions about the stages of the plant ramp-up. As a result, it is important to ensure transparency and validation of our future operational plans.
To establish a baseline for our production plan, we used various factors, including future production demand, site constraints, expansion scenarios, product mix, and production capability. To achieve this, we created a modular material flow simulation model that aligns with the factory requirements for 2029. This model allowed us to validate scenario-based material flow optimization simulations and define the stages for the plant ramp-up.
The simulation we conducted demonstrated the potential for a 22% reduction in CAPEX and a 35% increase in equipment utilization. We validated the material flow optimization using the simulation and provided detailed definitions of the plant ramp-up stages and the associated equipment. This served as proof of the value proposition of the Digital Twin of Production within the organization.
Revolutionizing R&D in the Digital Age: Strategies for Success
Revolutionizing R&D in the Digital Age: Strategies for Success
In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, research and development (R&D) have become critical for companies to stay competitive. By investing in R&D, businesses can explore new technologies and innovative ideas to improve their products and services, streamline operations, and create new revenue streams. In addition, R&D can help companies stay ahead of the curve by anticipating and adapting to changing market trends and customer preferences, enabling them to maintain a strategic advantage in the digital age.
Our client is significantly investing in research and development to help achieve ambitious growth targets. However, the customer is encountering challenges in transforming technologies into marketable products and addressing the insufficient digitalization and processes within their R&D organization.
We performed a structured process analysis and digital maturity assessment, including value stream analysis, to define the current state (as-is state). This led to the development of a North Star and roadmap for the ongoing digital transformation in R&D, with tangible KPI measurements and activities. In addition, we calculated a business case for digitalization improvements in order to propose recommendations regarding process enhancements, a shortlist of possible digital solutions, and transforming the project set-up.
We guided our client through a methodical self-assessment process, providing outside-in feedback to help identify underlying issues and develop valuable improvements. Additionally, we assisted in evaluating the business case for their digital solutions. Our delivery of business consulting, digital transformation expertise, and technology knowledge contributed to expediting our customer's digital journey.
