Manufacturing Industry Solutions

Whether designing factory equipment, specialised material handling equipment, or other machines and equipment, the engineering demands are similar. Make it perform faster, make it last longer, make it move more precisely, or vibrate less. How will you be sure the product will meet these demands?

The process of design, build, and test with physical prototypes is the engineering approach that has been used for years. It is proven and reliable for designing machinery to meet specialized demands in farming, forestry, construction, and a host of other environments. But the process takes too long and requires too many prototypes to "get it right".

The new approach for all of engineering is to create virtual prototypes that can be tested in the computer, duplicating the conditions the entire machine will experience. In this virtual environment, the design can be changed, new prototypes can be built, and virtual tests can be run in minutes instead of months. This new approach has been proven in demanding aerospace applications, and shown reliable in time-critical automotive applications. Why not use these same techniques on all of your engineering designs?
