Visual manufacturing

The visualization of product data or of information in a user manual, for example, helps to facilitate understanding and involvement, two fundamental determining factors in production efficiency. Given the ability to interact visually and interactively with data, users can participate in the production process as authors and knowledge creators. For example, 3D visual instructions allow the production department to reach maximum efficiency more easily than by using any other method. This is because the instructions are visible, easy to follow, and unique for every product.

Challenges:

  • Increase production department productivity
  • Increase the efficiency of production personnel training (improving quality and reducing production time)
  • Reduce prototype creation times preceding product launch
  • Standardization of work processes (insuring that everyone follows the same procedures)
  • Reduction/Elimination of misinterpretations within the department
  • Reduction of the learning curve of new workers

Development approach:

  • Increase the rhythm of production and improve quality, with a minimum of errors during system installation
  • Animated product instructions to improve learning within the department, rendering memorization easier
  • Coherence among the processes in every plant in the world, as well as for every language, thanks to graphic instructions and to the benefits of web collaboration (Linkersys)
  • Lighter and easier-to-see 3D to encourage its utilization on the part of users
  • 2D tables, images, and graphics generally included for greater clarity and detail
  • The possibility of accessing the CAD information of the product beforehand, in order to create product instructions before the creation of prototypes, eliminating the need for CAD training
  • Reduce time-to-market by training personnel earlier and by providing direct training
  • Reduce the necessity of prototypes by the visualization and sharing of 3D animations with suppliers

Results:
Thanks to web collaboration through the Linkersys platform and the WebGL 3D Viewer, our clients have the ability to use 3D web technology on any device (PC, smartphone, and tablet) and on any operating system (iOS, Android, Windows).

Thanks to the augmented/virtual reality we have developed with Linkersys and with our technology partners, we were able to create training and procedures for factories regarding “digital twin”, and we have helped many of our customers to digitalize their factories, with concrete results after just a few weeks.
