In this AMS livestream, the first in a new series focused on smart factory and digitalisation, our editors and experts will examine how digital twins are being scaled for large and small automotive production projects.
The wider adoption of digital twins is becoming a transformative tool for automotive factory planning, operational scaling for new models and launches, and process optimisation. These virtual models, which combine data visualisation and simulation, can support waste reduction, improve layout and equipment implementation, improve collaboration across suppliers and departments, and ultimately accelerate start of production and product time to market.
In this AMS livestream, the first in a new series focused on smart factory and digitalisation, our editors and experts will examine how digital twins are being scaled for large and small automotive production projects. The livestream will explore how this $50 billion industry is reshaping automotive manufacturing, showcasing trends and use cases for how digital twins and simulations can improve shopfloor operations, from using edge analytics to create models for new plants, the integration of IoT in production processes, and the full-scale digital scanning of existing factories.
AMS will also examine how the integration of artificial intelligence, including machine learning and genAI, can further enhance factory performance. Production leaders, manufacturing engineers and digital specialists will discuss benefits, and key steps to maximise the potential of digital twins, including the importance of data management in creating accurate and effective models.
