The labor market is tight, so getting talented people in the door is difficult. How can technology help you bridge the gap? Digital automation. Multitasking machines. Robotics. All can help you optimize production with fewer human resources while still meeting or exceeding specifications for both simple and complex parts.<\/p>\n<p>But technology itself is not the answer. And buying the latest and greatest technology might not always make sense at your company. Besides, it is how you leverage technology that makes real payback happen.<\/p>\n<p>You should use technology to optimize each process since it can keep you in the game while still making a profit for your company. However, the bullet meets the bone in how you link technology together\u2014that\u2019s where the real power comes into play. Before you even turn on the machines for production, an entire host of technologies must play their part in getting you to the &#8220;one and done&#8221; utopia of manufacturing.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s briefly look at how <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3ds.com\/products-services\/delmia\/products\/3dexperience\/\">DELMIA<\/a> NC can help you get where you want to go.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/delmia20machining20-image206.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"391\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Digital Transformation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0 are based upon the ideology of a single source of truth, which means one place where all the product development data is stored, leveraged, and updated\u2014essentially a single location or reference point for all the data. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solidworks.com\/lp\/solidworks-cloud-solutions-2019\"><strong>3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE\u00ae platform<\/a> provides a single source of truth from design through DELMIA (manufacturing), securely accessible to key stakeholders throughout your organization.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/2021-05-26_14-30-18.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"449\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Machine Complexity and Automation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CNC machines are becoming more complex and automated. They are also more affordable than ever, so companies are adopting high production machines capable of making complex parts. The challenge is that traditional mid-range CAM solutions have not kept pace with the capabilities of the machines they are controlling. Tools like DELMIA that have spent the last 35+ years in automotive and aerospace are built for the complexity of these machines that are now available to everyone. Using the correct CAM system for the right machine is a must to shorten your return on investment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/2021-05-26_14-29-39.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Skills Gap and Virtual Twin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As experienced machinists and programmers retire, there is a significant skills gap, especially regarding experience to run these new complex machines. To attract new talent and ensure what inexperienced programmers create is correct, you need to have the virtual twin and verification as you program. Companies can&#8217;t risk downtime in our worldwide competitive environment due to a machining crash or inexperienced programmers.<\/p>\n<p>DELMIA provides the user with a true virtual twin of the physical machine to allow new and inexperienced programmers to get up to speed quickly and verify that the program is correct the first time while minimizing downtime of the CNC equipment.\u00a0 The virtual twin also provides gamification of programming that attracts the next generation to high-tech manufacturing and robotics.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog-assets.solidworks.com\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/06\/delmia20machining20-image204.png\" width=\"800\" height=\"502\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Manufacturing Without Firefighting<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>DELMIA NC can help you do more with less and, when connected to the <strong>3D<\/strong>EXPERIENCE platform, provides an unrivaled level of associativity between product engineering, manufacturing processes, and resources.
