Digital Continuity, A Driving Force in Manufacturing Productivity

iBASEt

Digital Continuity is Established Across As-Designed, As-Built, As-Maintained For a manufacturer to become a model-based enterprise (MBE), it must make digital continuity a priority. In discrete manufacturing, the underlying data model that defines a product is often centered around the bills of material (BOMs) that define the product.

Robotics are picking up the pace

Control Engineering

Models created within the HGO contain not only the simulations but also the mechanical design and bill of materials. Price may be the most critical factor – but so too can power requirements or safety factors for bearing overload. This data transfers seamlessly into the preferred documentation software such as EPLAN.
