Why simulation methodology is inseparable from digital transformation, and what challenges the increased use of simulation holds for you.
From manufacturing to the insurance industry – simulation methodologies are so versatile that they have been used successfully in business for years, even decades.
Businesses employ simulation to pose “what if” questions that can accelerate and safeguard their value-adding processes: What happens if processes are organized differently, if raw materials prices rise, if a component is given a new surface coating, or if two collaborating robots are used instead of one?
Within the context of digitalization, the application of simulation methodologies is growing ever more important. Read any article on digital transformation and you will almost certainly be confronted with the topic.
Why is that?
For one, it’s due to a happy correlation: As computing power keeps growing, it’s also becoming more available regardless of location – thanks to secure cloud applications and 5G. One might say that it’s becoming cheaper to know more. The economy of scale permits more sophisticated calculation and visualization.
To grasp the strategic crux of the issue, it helps to recall the key value proposition of digitalization: Agility, the ability to manage greater levels of complexity, and (part-)automated, software-based processes that permit continual improvement.
To attain these qualities – quick adaptability, high complexity competence, reliable forecasting – you need simulation as a virtual testing ground that lets you try things out and then verify and optimize them, without interrupting your live processes. This testing ground is known as the digital twin.
What should you do now?
At CENIT, we support our customers at all stages of the value chain – and simulation is an organic component of that chain. Our clients use simulation to continually safeguard their engineering, to automate their simulation processes, to conduct multi-physical, electromagnetic and tolerance analyses – in short, they benefit from CENIT’s wide portfolio, along with our dedicated hotline and extensive range of training courses.
Our FASTSUITE software enables simulation and programming of industrial robots and machines within a virtual 3D environment, meaning that it is based on a digital mirror image of the real-world facility. Among many other things, this lets our clients set up new manufacturing orders without production downtime or loss of information – and all in a pleasant, modern working environment. It’s one of our contributions to sustainable digitalization in the manufacturing sphere.
You can count on our support. CENIT’s consultants have an eye for all the details but never lose sight of the big picture.
