Challenge
With minimal margin for error in the aerospace industry, production partners are working closely with carriers to create fully optimized production lines and facilities. Our client, a global carrier, identified a key concern at one of their supplier’s production sites when they realized that several data sources were fed into one process, leading to production errors.
Why Quest Global?
Digital twin innovation drives manufacturing efficiency to a whole new level
By developing a digital twin or virtual model of the production environment, the manufacturing process could be simulated, ensuring errors were identified and ultimately reduced. With our exceptional track record in aerospace, our team at Quest Global was identified as the engineering specialist with the sector insight to solve this problem. Our team designed a Digital Twin of the site, which would provide the insight and capacity to accelerate part production, optimize design, and reduce machine programming time.
Solution
With Quest Global’s bespoke smart manufacturing solution, our client can:
Work with a custom-designed Digital Twin of components and assemblies created with insight and expertise
Benefit from bespoke end-to-end technology with offline virtual portfolio and industrial domain expertise
Be Confident in a solution based on best practices and standard work protocols tailored for Model-Based Enterprise or MBE
Deploy this solution successfully at their supplier’s production site and potentially apply and adjust for other production facilities where required
Use simulations to gain a complete understanding of key functions like metal cutting, lab-based inspections, and other validation and verification processes
Gain from high levels of interoperability and collaboration with a variety of platforms, ensuring greater flexibility
