FACTORY OF THE FUTURE
This digital twin platform has enhanced how JLR engineers , manufacturers and designs its cars . At Hannover Messe , Dassault Systemes also collaborated with the Japanese company OMRON to develop a virtual twin of an OMRON autonomous production solution . Illustrating the efficiency and planning benefits of virtual simulation , the virtual twin allowed users to ensure both the manufacturing execution system and the fleet management software for the AMRs were working coherently .
Philippe , true to his philosophy of wanting to push the line further , sees additional opportunities with virtual twins and Operational Equipment Manufacturers ( OEMs ). “ Dassault Systemes is one , if not the industry leader for engineering ,” he says .
“ We are as strong in manufacturing as we are in engineering , and one of my transformation missions is to develop the company ’ s offering for after-sales service .”
