Everything Connected 35 - Smart Manufacturing: Walking the Talk

Everything Connected 35 - Smart Manufacturing: Walking the Talk

In this article as part of our Everything Connected series, we aim to showcase how we are utilizing our Digital Twine Reference Architecture to compose solutions for smart manufacturing in the realm of industry 4.0.

Manufacturing playbooks typically follow a pillar (siloed) approach to solutioning – Upstream, Midstream and Downstream – to coordinate the discrete activities of product development, manufacturing and after market and sales and support.

Enabling customers and building smart and connected solutions require mass customizations and a new way of doing things. This includes adopting new technologies such as Additive Manufacturing and lifting-and-shifting current processes using brown-field, green-field, and blue-sky methodologies.

  • Brown-field methodology?involves upgrading existing systems,
  • Green-field methodology?involves building new systems from scratch, and
  • Blue-sky methodology?involves developing innovative solutions without any pre-existing constraints.

By appropriately maturing solutions to the new paradigm, businesses can achieve greater efficiency, agility, and competitiveness in the Industry 4.0 landscape.

In a series of use case blueprints (click on the link for the details), we have utilized our Digital Twine reference architecture to showcase possible implementations of brown-field, green-field and blue-sky initiatives to connect the dots between enterprise systems and enable the staged transformation and maturity of implementations to Industry 4.0.

These use cases demonstrate the versatility of the Digital Twine reference architecture in enabling smart manufacturing transformations. By leveraging technology solutions like Additive Manufacturing, composite materials, and data integration, organizations can improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance agility.
