NAVIGATE PAUSES, UPDATE PLANS, AND REDESIGN LINES. IN TWO YEARS, REALIZE THE FACTORY OF TOMORROW.
Imagine evaluating the effectiveness of production lines before the physical or factory even exists.
Now, you can turn this vision into a reality with a factory virtual twin and our team of experts, thanks to Factory Virtual Twin as a Service (VTaaS).
The factory virtual twin gives you the ability to:
- Accelerate time to value while minimizing costs and risk
- Optimize production planning and plant organization through factory modeling
Simulate, test and verify
- Simulate, test and verify processes to mitigate risks and boost efficiencies
- Identify potential failures by evaluating what-if scenarios
- Deliver products on budget, on schedule and right the first time
Turn Manufacturing Excellence Into Reality
Factory VTaaS has proven to deliver value to industry leaders globally, including L’OCCITANE en Provence. The company’s production site in the south of France, Laboratoires M&L, embraced Factory VTaaS to optimize operations while prioritizing employee well-being. As a result, a Dassault Systèmes service, based on DELMIA solutions, was developed and operated with L’OCCITANE en Provence, consisting of a factory virtual twin of the Lagorce facility and its production lines to monitor and prevent occupational health hazards.
How L’OCCITANE Is Building a Factory of the Future With Factory VTaaS
Improve Workstation Ergonomics
The Lagorce site has over 200 employees of various ages, where 60% were women while 40% were men.
The goal was to assess individual postures at workstations to find out the risk of joint or musculoskeletal issues and how different genders could be affected.
Factory VTaaS was able to evaluate work areas with a focus on ergonomic postures at workstations and on packaging lines.
The virtual twin allowed us to evaluate citations that cannot be observed in everyday life.
Analyze Pathogen Transmission
During the pandemic, Laboratoires M&L wanted to better understand the spread of the viruses in order to better protect its workers and maintain high productivity levels.
The Dassault Systèmes team computed airflow data – air renewal, air recirculation, outside air supply and air outflow based on the 3D models of the facility’s architecture.
Using DELMIA and SIMULIA fluids solutions, a virtual twin of the full shop floor was created with this data to run airflow and pathogenic propagation simulations of the packaging line.
Thanks to SIMULIA PowerFLOW, we have been able to make visible the invisible.
Simulate Thermal Flow
In combination with pathogen circulation, effort has also been made to study the thermal conditions of the Lagorce facility.
The study aims to understand the increase in temperature of certain areas on the shop floor and how it affected the comfort of the operators.
Utilizing Factory VTaaS, thermal simulations of the environment, including heat-radiating equipment, were carried out at different times of the day.
SIMULIA enabled the visualization of these complex scenarios by taking into account solar radiation to gain complete control of the temperature rises within the facility.
Explore Unlimited Possibilities
Powered by the 3DEXPRIENCE® platform, the factory virtual twin offers more than just manufacturing optimization. Whether you need to improve productivity, upgrade communication networks or enhance worker ergonomics, the VTaaS team stands ready to help you explore new and exciting experiences for the virtual twin model.
