Harnessing the Production Digital Twin for Aerospace – Smart Manufacturing in A&D Ep. 6

Smart manufacturing, adaptive production, and automation will be vital strategies as the aerospace and defense industry transforms its manufacturing processes. However, implementing those strategies can be expensive, and manufacturers will want to make sure they avoid issues during the process. To ensure they receive the full return on investment from transforming their processes, A&D manufacturers should leverage the production digital twin.

In this episode of Talking Aerospace Today, Todd Tuthill, Vice President of Aerospace Defense, and Marine for Siemens Digital Industries Software, is joined by Sunil Chhabra, from Portfolio Development in manufacturing engineering for Siemens. Together, they explore what a production digital twin is and how A&D manufacturers can use it to optimize their production processes.

In this episode, you will learn:

• The definition of a production digital twin
• What benefits the production digital twin can bring to manufacturing processes
• How detailed simulations from the production digital twin can be
• The role of the production digital twin across the production lifecycle
