Description
Manufacturing companies face inefficiencies from disconnected systems across factory design, engineering, and shop-floor operations. This session will demonstrate how a digital twin approach using Autodesk Tandem software integrates BIM-based factory models with live production data for smarter decisions. For greenfield projects, FlexSim integration enables simulation of layouts, production lines, and material flows before execution, optimizing throughput and reducing project risk. Energy Monitoring and Management System (EMMS) integration adds early visibility into energy and sustainability. For brownfield plants, connecting programmable logic controllers (PLCs), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA), and a manufacturing execution system (MES) creates a unified operational view, enabling real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and bottleneck identification.
